Sandra Scheinbaum

Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum trains people to become Functional Medicine health coaches, and helps practitioners and businesses hire them, because she believes that health coaches are key to combating chronic disease and reducing healthcare costs. As founder and CEO of the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA), a collaboration with The Institute for Functional Medicine, Sandra is a leader in the field of health coaching education. An educator, clinical psychologist, author and public speaker for over 40 years, she founded FMCA at age 65 because, rather than retiring, she’s on a mission to grow the health coaching profession so that millions of people can get the support they need to lead healthier lives. She is the author of Functional Medicine Coaching: How to Be Part of the Movement That’s Transforming Healthcare, Stop Panic Attacks in 10 Easy Steps and How to Give Clients the Skills to Stop Panic Attacks.
