    About Ryan Monahan:

    Ryan Monahan is an FDN-P Level III, Nationally Board Certified Health Coach, Clinical Advisor, and Certified AIP Coach.

    He has a passion for uncovering hidden stressors that contribute to thyroid disease. Throughout his journey, he spent over 10 frustrating years visiting more than 40 health professionals to find answers to his chronic health complaints until being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s in 2012. Since then, his mission has been to change the dialogue about chronic disease towards a holistic, functional approach while helping others restore their health to normal function.

    Typically, his clients are people who have struggled with finding relief from their autoimmune symptoms. Oftentimes, they feel that they’ve “tried everything”, and that traditional medicine hasn’t served them. In his experience, there is a better way.
