Liberté Chan Instagram – Most of you guys know me as a former meteorologist and reporter at a local tv station in Los Angeles. What you may not know is that I have always been passionate about health and wellness. It started when I was 20 years old, after my pau pau (grandmother) was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
It broke my heart to see her suffer and witnessing her struggle sent me down a path of research. After watching her cry at one of her chemo sessions, I wanted to find out what I could do to help, what caused the disease and what I could do to prevent it from happening to me in the future. Everything I read circled back to prevention.
Her sickness was the catalyst for me to make a deep commitment in my personal health. It also motivated me to obtain a Master’s Degree in Public Health, become a certified yoga teacher, and it influenced me to become a certified Functional Medicine Health Coach (I’ll graduate in August, 2024!).
I love functional medicine because practitioners focus on finding the root cause of disease instead of just treating the symptoms. They give their patient’s a lifestyle prescription to help them heal and many times, making these lifestyle changes can reverse disease. A coach supports their client and helps them co-create a plan so they can reach their health goal. Coaches are masters at behavior change and shifting peoples mindsets. While I am not planning on taking on any clients, I do plan to share what I learn on this account.
So if you care about your mental, physical, emotional, and/or spiritual health, you’ll probably find some tips on this feed to help you feel and look your best.
And yes, you will still see a few posts on fashion and travel…two other things I love, but mainly, I hope this account becomes a resource for you that can support you on your own health and wellness journey.
