What are the responsibilities and job description for the Health Coach position at True Wellness Functional Medicine LLC?
We are a U.S.-based functional medicine practice grounded in functional medicine and evolutionary medicine. Our clinical model is informed by the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) framework and operationalized using a systems-based approach (Kalish-style case thinking).
We work with U.S. clients who are motivated, educated, and seeking long-term health transformation through lifestyle, nutrition, behavior change, and accountability—not quick fixes.
This role is not for everyone
We are not hiring a general virtual assistant or someone new to health coaching.
We are looking for a real health coach who already understands functional medicine concepts and can confidently coach U.S.-based clients on lifestyle change, behavior change, and implementation of care plans.
If you are primarily trained in allopathic or protocol-only coaching and are unfamiliar with functional medicine thinking, this role will not be a good fit.
What You'll Do
- Coach clients on nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, habits, and accountability
- Support implementation of functional medicine care plans (education, adherence, behavior change – no diagnosing or prescribing)
- Translate complex health concepts into simple, motivating coaching language
- Track progress, barriers, and wins using clear documentation
- Communicate clearly and professionally with U.S.-based clients
- Contribute to coaching SOPs, education materials, and scripts over time
You'll Thrive Here if You:
- Have more than 1 year of real health coaching experience
- Strong understanding of metabolic health, insulin resistance, and lifestyle medicine
- Excellent spoken and written English (client-facing role)
- Comfortable working with U.S. culture, communication style, and expectations
- Highly organized with strong follow-through
- Experience coaching behavior change, not just giving advice
- Having health coaching certifications is a plus!!
- Familiarity with IFM concepts (Timeline, Matrix, antecedents/triggers/mediators, systems thinking)
- Experience coaching metabolic syndrome, autoimmune, or inflammatory conditions
- Interest in evolutionary medicine principles (sleep/circadian rhythm, strength training, whole-food nutrition, stress resilience)
- Personal embodiment of a health-forward lifestyle
Bonus If You:
- Have worked in a startup or founder-driven environment
- Know how to use tools like Asana, Google Workspace, and Slack
- Have supported healthcare or wellness entrepreneurs
Work Setup
- Full-time (40 hours/week)
- Work hours: 8 AM – 6 PM CST (Austin, Texas)
- Fully remote / Work from home
- Long-term position with room to grow
