About Kim Zogg

Deciding to become a Health and Wellness Coach was a natural path for me after facing many health challenges.  I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age thirteen, Diabetic Retinopathy around age 25, and Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and Adenomyosis in my early thirties. My life was turned upside down due to all the pain and fatigue I experienced daily.  I regularly saw specialists (about 1-3 per week) who tried to help me by prescribing prescription pills which resulted in negative side effects and provided very little relief or improvement with my symptoms.  After about three years and so much pain, it finally became very clear to me that I had to find another way.

 

I learned about whole foods and how they could provide natural healing.  I altered my diet to boost my immune system and quickly learned that my body, every body, is a healing body.  I read extensively about how to carry a healthy mindset and how to incorporate best daily practices to manage stress effectively.  Over time, my energy returned and my pain was gone. My medical reports no longer show any evidence of Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia or Diabetic Retinopathy.  I never went back to be scanned for the Adenomyosis, but my symptoms have disappeared.

 

 What did I learn overall?  First, our bodies are equipped to heal ourselves of most ailments and illnesses if provided the right conditions.  Second, the food we choose to eat DOES matter.  What I considered to be “healthy” before, has grown to a whole new understanding.  Third, stress doesn’t just “kill” as they say.  It also undermines our physical well-being, compromises our immune systems and gut health, diminishes the potential for daily happiness, and strains our adrenal glands if left unmanaged.  And lastly, I learned that our daily habits make us who we are. 

 

All those years ago, I had to resign as a Special Education Teacher because my body could no longer meet the demands.  I came to a realization that I had to make a decision - either to live a life of pain and fatigue, or to proactively pursue the life I truly desire.  I chose the latter.  Many people were fascinated by my recovery journey, but often expressed doubts in their own ability to meet their personal health goals.  This is why I decided to study to become a Health and Wellness Coach, Empowered Wellbeing Coach, and Life Coach and earn my certifications.  Recognizing the importance of habit change in improving health and well-being, I knew the way I could make the greatest impact was to study ways to help individuals meet their goals and transform their lives. With this newfound body and mind and all this energy, I am using it to help my clients create the lives they truly desire through daily habits.  I am dedicated to help my clients create their life with intention.  Please check out Programs Offered to see specific ways I can help my clients and reach out via email to zoggwellnesscoach@gmail.com if you would like to learn more.
