What is a Primal Health Coach

According to the Primal Health Coaching Institute, ‘The Primal Health Coach Program is centred on ancestral health principles, a scientifically validated wellness plan that mimics that of our primal ancestors and supports our genetic evolutionary blueprint with real-food, low-carb eating, inspired movement and play, and stress-reduction and balance in all aspects of life.

As part of the ancestral health movement, the Primal Blueprint nutrition, fitness and lifestyle behaviour program has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and counting. With you on our team, we can help so many others maximise their health and thrive.'
