Exploring Life & Business with Hally Brooke of Live Nourished Coaching

Today we’d like to introduce you to Hally Brooke.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Why I started Live Nourished… I was raised by very health-conscious parents who taught me about the importance of good food in its natural form and I have always eaten well. My self-education in nutrition and exercise began in 2011 when I battled and overcame my own serious GI issues including IBS and SIBO. My experience lead me to pursue official certifications and launch my own personal training and wellness company (Playful Fitness) in 2016. In 2018, I was honored to become the official fitness advisor for Fox 21 News in Colorado Springs.

At the end of 2018, my husband of nearly 6 years left, and my life got turned upside down. During the next two years, I dug deep into my own inner healing. I pursued my own healing and recovery through the Alanon program. I did a week intensive at Onsite (and highly recommend their Living Centered Program to every human alive) and went through inner healing and deliverance with Restoring The Foundations (also highly recommended). I learned to live one day at a time. I learned that health was not just about food and exercise but about being whole, inside and out. I learned that living nourished takes more than just “eating healthy” or working out and that, in fact, sometimes health means enjoying a burger, taking a nap instead of going on a run, and resting instead of pushing hard. I am passionate about health. Not just physical health but mental, spiritual and physical health, and I am passionate about helping my clients learn to live nourished lives, to be kind to themselves, and grow and heal every day.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Oh, man! Smooth definitely not. I don’t know if running a business can ever be smooth. Fun, yes! Creative, yes!

Thoroughly enjoyable and profoundly impactful yes! Easy, defiantly not. Smooth… no. I started my business in 2016 while still teaching math in a Title I school. I started a business with absolutely zero business knowledge, an MBA, no prior experience, just a good idea, passion, and a lot of gumption.

Over the years I have thrown A LOT of spaghetti at the wall, so to speak, trying to figure this whole thing out. I’ve gone through phases where I thought I’d have to go back to teaching to make ends meet, seasons where we grew so fast we couldn’t keep up. I’ve gone from being a solopreneur to the CEO of a growing company and every single one of those transitions has had bumps and struggles. To detail them all would take a while!

But what I’ve learned is that my two greatest strengths are my faith in God who is my business partner and my “I don’t know how yet but I’m going to figure it outness.” Those two things have made every bump (thus far) not only “overcomable” but launching points into the next phase of growing a successful, mission-driven business.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Live Nourished Coaching is a Functional Medicine Nutrition and Health Coaching company. Functional medicine is root cause medicine which means that instead of playing “wack-a-mole” with symptoms, we dive into our client’s history and function to find the root cause of ALL their symptoms, heal that and get them their health back. The health coaching piece is crucial to this because a well-designed functional medicine game plan is only valuable if it’s implemented and we know that we work with humans who have routines, habits, families, and lives that don’t always exactly set them up for success in making lifestyle changes. So, we do both functional medicine and coaching to make healing possible for our clients.

There are a few things that really set us apart from other Functional Medicine companies and other health coaching companies.

1. At Live Nourished, we believe deeply in an expert-to-expert approach. That means we treat our clients as experts on themselves. Our clients live in their bodies and live their lives every day. That’s just valuable information as our expertise on the functional medicine side. We work as a team to improve overall wellness.
2. We believe that 2-degree shifts have more powerful effects than 180-degree turns and it’s important to look at your life as a whole (work, family, fun, rest, faith, food, movement, thoughts & feelings) in order to make changes that will create lifelong benefit.
3. We have only Nationally Board Certified Health coaches. That means that the National Board of Medical Examiners certifies brain surgeons, and certifies us. That’s so important in today’s world where anyone can call themselves a health coach simply because they eat veggies and are fit. That provides the promise of safety and excellence to our clients that MOST companies cannot provide.

What I am most proud of brand-wise is our ability to span the whole spectrum of clients who are really sick to clients who simply want to improve their well-being with the simple question “what are you nourishing?” The way we coach, our brand truly impacts the whole of the population, gives freedom to our clients to be human, and is a movement changing the direction of well-being nationwide.

Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
We have several aspects of our business that people can work with us through.

1. Our clients. If you or someone you know is dealing with gut issues, brain fog, fatigue, stubborn weight loss, acne, eczema, etc… we’d love to help you through that journey.
2. We work directly with doctors’ practices providing health coaching to complement their medical perceptions of their patients so if you are a doctor or an NP and want to support your patients with data-proven results, we’d love to talk.
3. We also provide corporate wellness programs that help businesses save enormous amounts of money on insurance premiums, and absenteeism, and our data show a marked increase in productivity.
4. I also personally provide leadership and executive coaching focused on the financial and business impact of prioritizing well-being over overworking.
