The Metabolic Bootcamp put on by Essence Health & Research (EH&R) has been going for a few weeks. If you are looking for a great way to improve your metabolic health including weight management and mental health for the New Year with good structure and commitment, this is a great program for you!

If you would like to be apart of this program, you can receive the DONATION portion of the program when you make a secure donation to EH&R, a 501c3 healthcare nonprofit in Sammamish WA. PLEASE MAKE YOUR DONATION BY JANUARY 31ST!

The Metabolic Bootcamp has a great schedule of short key idea metabolic classes with application on everything from dietary tracking, glucose management, and even what type of exercise to do at what time of day to manage weight, sleep, and stress the best. You get weekly meal plans based on the topic that you can use or adjust for the week and they are family friendly. You'll also get a Metabolic Yoga class based on the topic of the week to give you about a 30 minute routine for the week to improve weight management and mental health. It's all online and you can do it at your own pace.

If you would like the metabolic initial evaluation and monthly follow up visits for your medical condition(s), diagnosis, or symptoms, you can also use your medical insurance for dietitian/nutrition services or use affordable self pay options.

When you make your donation to EH&R through this link, you'll receive the current program as well as each week of material until it ends in March 2025: https://donorbox.org/fundraising-drive-for-essence-health-and-research-project-thrive

DONATIONS NEEDED by Jan 5th!
From Dr. Jennifer Coomes, Executive Director
Essence Health & Research (EH&R)

Hi All! I wanted to get the word out to the community in case you can be of help. I run a 501c3 healthcare nonprofit, Essence Health & Research (EH&R) in WA state (Sammamish WA) as a Doctor of Clinical Nutrition (DCN) focused on metabolic healthcare, medical nutrition therapy (MNT), culinary nutrition, metabolic yoga services, clinical research, public speaking and MNT education. The nonprofit can help anyone with metabolic diseases ranging from diabetes, gut conditions, menopause, kidney/liver disease to cancer and much more. It has also just jumped hoops and can now take patients with medical insurance. The nonprofit is in a critical funding gap that I'm trying to cover by Jan 5th, so I am looking for donations far and wide to help get to next steps. If you donate, I am also sending out the Metabolic Boot Camp 12 week program by email I've been creating for patients to those who donate. It can be done online. It starts Jan 6th. Any donation by Jan 5th would be immensely helpful and just be sure I have your email so I can get the Metabolic Boot Camp Program for you. If you can help with a donation of any level, thank you so much!

Here are the donation and nonprofit links and always feel free to ask Dr. Coomes any questions at [email protected] or call/text at 425.505.3090.

This is a FREE webinar for the very important topic of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and its metabolic components and how to create more comprehensive care for those who are surviving abuse and trauma. Dr. Coomes, an abuse and trauma survivor herself, I spent much of her doctorate research on this topic to find answers that standard medical care didn't have yet, and she wanted to know more about how to overcome and move forward. This extensive research has been presented at a number of research conferences and symposiums, and now, Dr. Coomes is helping to educate healthcare providers and the general public on how to assess the metabolic side of PTSD along with its psychiatric/psychological side so that patients can get better and more lasting success in care.

If you would like to learn more, join Dr. Coomes for this free webinar on Friday, Nov 8th from 10-11:30am PST by registering at this link:
