Certified Nutrition Advisor and Integrative Health Coach

My name is Teresa Meadows and I have been thrilled to have the
opportunity to help family, friends and everyone I meet to experience an
amazing journey towards optimal health.   About 15 years ago two of my
children were both experiencing a health crisis that became difficult and
paralyzing for me at times.  After some years, I had the opportunity to
"go outside the box” and seek the help of an Integrative Developmental
Pediatrician.  She was able to identify the appropriate testing needed to
help them on their journey back to health.  This doctor allowed me to
better understand the importance of looking at the whole picture of an
individual as we began to the "peel the onion” and get to work.  I came
to better understand the important role of "Inside Outside" health and
began working on environmental factors that could help overcome and
even prevent health challenges as part of the answer.   As a mom of 4
children and being raised in a large family of seven children, I was used
to my mom’s scratch cooking and encouragement to stay active in life
like many others and thought that I was doing pretty well!  Such good
examples were in front of me, but little did I know that so much had been
changing over the years to our environment and to the quality and
nutritional value of our food supply.  On the journey, we had come to
this new realization that we needed much more than a so-called healthy
diet, but rather the addition of high quality nutritional support and many
more healthy practices to begin to make up for these shortfalls that we
were facing. In the end, the results were successful!
One thing I have learned over the years, is that good health does not
come by genetics or by accident, but strictly on purpose!!  It is a
wonderful combination of creating a supportive environment that deals
with both the outside and inside stressors that become imperative to
enjoying, good long health.  Today we are bombarded by the frantic
pace of work and family life and the strain and stress that begins to
show up in our health.  We are all getting older, but that does not mean
we can’t change the direction of where we are headed.  What we simply
need is to put a good healthy plan in place and then put it into practice,
so we can enjoy our work achievements and the relationships we hold
dear.

I began sharing and teaching others, including friends and family and
soon realized that this had indeed become a Mission.  I have continued
to grow in my knowledge as a Certified Nutrition Advisor & Integrative
Health Coach and the love of learning.  I keep up to date on the latest
from the amazing doctors and scientists that I have been honored to

partner with and come to know through the years. I became a
Bon Secours Wellness sponsor about 8 years ago contributing recipes,
articles and offerings to many that are looking for alternatives to health
and a healthy lifestyle.  Over the years my passion has met the passions
of other wellness coaches and medical health professionals that have
banded together to form a community I co-founded called "The Live Free
Team".  We currently offer Health & Nutrition Consultations, grocery
tours, monthly workshops, Facebook support groups, grocery tours and
are committed to helping serve and help others create their healthiest
lifestyles ever.
