Sharing something I’ve been working on to help you turn your certification into a profitable business. Learn how Revenue Rx helps health coaches make money online with proven systems and support.

Hi friends! How are you? I’m here in Florida for the Reimagining Health Summit and ready to connect with fellow IHPs and learn as much as possible. I’ll definitely share a full recap when I’m back!!

I’m also super excited and honored to be presenting on a panel with some rockstar IHP friends. Please send me all of your good vibes lol.

For today’s post, I wanted to share a little something that I’ve been working on behind the scenes for the past couple of months. I did a small soft launch to a target section of my newsletter list just to see how it would do, and our first cohort is already crushing it, so I’m doing a big announcement now.

I’m excited to tell you about Revenue Rx: designed to help health coaches set up their online business and make money online.

If you’ve earned your health coaching certification but feel completely stuck on what to do next, you’re not alone.

So many new health coaches and integrative practitioners come out of their programs full of passion – ready to help people feel their best – but no one teaches them how to actually run a business. You get your certification in the mail and it’s just like, “Welp! Good luck!”

You know how to help your clients get results, but how do you find those clients? How do you price your services? What should you even post online?

That’s exactly why I created Revenue Rx: a 12-week accelerator program that helps new and growing health coaches confidently build and launch a business that helps them help others.. and actually makes money.

Sharing some of my best tips for using red light therapy at home, including how to use red light and what to look for.

Hi friends! How are you? I hope you had an amaizng weekend! Ours was packed with fall fun and now we’re headed back into a week with travel and more events. The fall chaos is in full swing, but I’m loving it.

When things are crazy, I try to stick to the pillars of my routine as closely as possible: daily walks, strength training a few times each week, meditation, hydration, nutrition, and my favorite biohacking tools, like red light.

If you’ve been hanging out here for a while, you know I’m a huge fan of wellness tools. Between mom life, work, and workouts, anything that makes recovery, energy, and skin health easier (and more convenient) is a win.

One of the tools that’s been a total game-changer for me is Red light therapy.

It’s one of those things that seems almost too good to be true – glowing skin, reduced inflammation, better recovery, deeper sleep – but the research behind it is pretty incredible. Today, I wanted to chat about what look for in a red light device, how to use it effectively, and the pros and cons of at-home red light therapy (plus two of my favorite brands: HigherDOSE and Lumebox).

Red Light Therapy at Home: Device Guide & Best Use Tips

What Is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy (also called low-level light therapy or photobiomodulation) uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to help your cells produce more energy (ATP).

Think of it like this: your skin and tissues have tiny receptors that absorb light the way plants absorb sunlight. That energy boosts your cells’ performance – improving circulation, supporting collagen production, easing inflammation, and even speeding up muscle recovery.

What to Look For in a Red Light Therapy Device

Before investing in an at-home red light device, it helps to know what actually matters.

Here’s what I recommend checking:

1. Wavelength Range

Look for a device that offers both red light (around 660 nm) and near-infrared light (around 850 nm).

Red light supports skin health and surface-level rejuvenation, while near-infrared penetrates deeper into muscle and tissue for recovery and inflammation support.

2. Power Density (Irradiance)

A good at-home device should deliver between 30–100 mW/cm² at a few inches away from your skin. This ensures you’re getting a therapeutic dose of light energy without long exposure times.

3. Treatment Area

If you want to focus on your face or neck, a portable panel (like the Lumebox) is perfect.

If you want a full-body experience, a larger panel or wrap (like the High

Download this free Health Coach Toolkit for new coaches and integrative health practitioners. Includes editable forms, scripts, checklists, and resources to launch your business with confidence.

Hi friends! I hope that you’re having a wonderful day. We’re back from an amaaaazing trip to NYC – I’ll share a recap soon! – and getting back into the routine. I’ve been tackling the laundry mountain, getting ready for the Pilot’s birthday and P’s bday celebrations, and some more travel. I’m headed to Ft. Lauderdale and LA soon!

I wanted to share something that I’ve been working on behind the scenes: helping fellow IHPs and health coaches launch their businesses. I’ve been in the online space for 15+ years now (how?!) and have learned so many things along the way of reaching multiple six figures online.

I’ve loved sharing what I’ve learned and helping others start successful online businesses. I started a small group paid mentorship here – read more about Revenue RX – but am also working on as many free resources as possible. One of my first clients just ran a 7-day challenge and 20 people signed up!

The first free resource is a Health Coach Toolkit, which you can download for free here.

Free Health Coach Toolkit

If you’re a new health coach or integrative health practitioner, you probably feel a mix of excitement and overwhelm. You’ve spent months (or years!) studying functional medicine, learning lab analysis, and helping clients transform their lives…

but now you’re asking:

“Okay, how do I actually run my business?”

I get it. When I started coaching, I had no idea what forms I needed, how to set up client onboarding, or how to keep my systems organized. I wanted to focus on helping people feel better, not chase down spreadsheets and waivers.

That’s exactly why I created the Free Health Coach Toolkit – to help you skip the messy trial-and-error phase and start your practice with clarity, confidence, and systems that actually work.

This free toolkit includes everything you need to launch or streamline your coaching business – whether you’re just finishing IHP2 or have been coaching clients on the side for a while.

What’s Inside the Free Health Coach Toolkit

This toolkit is designed to give you the exact resources I wish I’d had when I started my practice: all editable, customizable, and easy to brand as your own.

Here’s what you’ll find inside:

1. Client Intake Form

Your first step in understanding your client’s health history, symptoms, and goals.

This editable form helps you collect everything you need to create personalized recommendations – without missing key details.

Sharing some of my go-to low-impact cardio options for autoimmune flare days. This was something I really struggled with and have definitely been there. These are some of the things that helped me, but please reach out to your doctor for personalized advice. If you’re ready to get to the root cause of how you’re feeling, email me gina@fitnessista.com subject TESTING. 

Hi friends! How are you? I hope you’re having a lovely week. I’m looking forward to lunch with the girls today and a low-key night catching up on Dancing with the Stars. We’re loving this season!

Today, I wanted to chat a little more about my autoimmune journey and some of the things that have helped me during a flare, especially when doing workouts, especially cardio felt more challenging.

Low-Impact Cardio Options for Autoimmune Flare Days

When Movement Feels Harder Than Usual

If you live with an autoimmune condition, you know the ups and downs all too well. Some days you feel strong, capable, and ready to take on a workout. Other days… just getting out of bed feels like a victory.

As someone who has supported many clients (and experienced my own share of health hurdles), I’ve learned that movement doesn’t have to totally disappear on autoimmune flare days. The key is choosing low-impact cardio options that support circulation, lymphatic flow, and mood – without pushing your body into more inflammation or exhaustion.

I wanted to chat about some of my favorite gentle and low-impact cardio options for autoimmune flare days, so you can honor your body while still supporting your health and fitness goals.

Why Low-Impact Cardio Matters During Flares

When your immune system is flaring, your body is already working overtime. High-intensity training can sometimes make symptoms worse, spiking cortisol and leaving you drained.

Low-impact cardio, on the other hand:

Supports blood flow and oxygen delivery.

Encourages gentle detox through sweating and lymphatic movement.

Boosts mood and mental health.

Helps maintain consistency without burning you out.

Think of it as a way to meet your body where it’s at while still taking care of yourself.

Best Low-Impact Cardio Options for Autoimmune Flare Days

Walking (Indoors or Outdoors)

Walking is one of the most underrated low-impact cardio exercises. On flare days, keep it gentle: a slow stroll around your neighborhood, or even laps inside your house. Fresh air + sunshine can also help reset your nervous system.

Tip: Start with 5–10 minutes, and if it feels good, extend from there.

Rebounding (Mini Trampoline)

Rebounding is one of my favorites for autoimmune flare days. The light bouncing helps move lymph fluid, supports detox pathways, and boosts circulation without being too taxing.

Tip: Gentle health bounces (feet s

Sharing my thoughts on vibrating plates and if it’s worth adding one to your home wellness routine. 

Hi friends! How are you? I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We’re back from an amazing trip to San Diego feeling super refreshed after lots of beach and friend time. It was low-key, we had a lot of delicious food, and enjoyed sleeping in and multiple trips to the ocean each day to “get our feet wet” (<— for the kids, this means their entire bodies.) I hope you had a restorative and fun weekend, too!

Today, I wanted to chat a bit about vibrating plates and if I think it’s worthwhile to add it to your routine. I’ve seen these EVERYWHERE lately – I’m sure you have, too – so let’s break it down!

What Is a Vibrating Plate and Do You Need One?

If you’ve scrolled Instagram or wandered through the aisles of your favorite fitness store lately, you’ve probably seen a vibrating plate (also called a vibration platform). They look futuristic, promise big results, and claim to improve everything from fat loss to lymphatic drainage. But what’s the real deal? Do you actually need one in your fitness routine, or is it just another shiny piece of equipment collecting dust in the corner of your home gym?

Today I wanted to chat about what these machines are, what the science says, who they’re great for (and who should avoid them), and a budget-friendly alternative that delivers many of the same benefits.

What Is a Vibrating Plate?

A vibrating plate is a flat platform that uses whole-body vibration technology. You stand, squat, or even do strength exercises on it while it vibrates at different frequencies. The idea is that these vibrations stimulate your muscles, joints, and lymphatic system in ways that regular exercise might not.

These devices were first developed in the 1960s for astronauts to help prevent bone and muscle loss in zero gravity. Over the years, they’ve made their way into gyms, physical therapy offices, and now home fitness spaces.

Potential Benefits of a Vibrating Plate

While the marketing can be over the top, there are some benefits worth noting:

1. Improved Muscle Activation

The vibrations cause rapid muscle contractions, which may help improve strength and stability over time. Pairing it with bodyweight or light resistance moves can amplify the challenge. It also adds a little bit of instability, which encourages you to engage your core muscles and glutes just a little bit more.

2. Support for Bone Health

Research suggests that vibration training can help improve bone mineral density, which can be particularly helpful for women in perimenopause or menopause who are focused on bone health.

3. Lymphatic and Circulation Support

Many people use vibrating plates to help support lymphatic drainage and circulation, which can leave you feeling lighter and more energized.

4. Time-Efficient Workouts

A 10- to 15-minute session on a vibrating plate can feel surprisingly effective, especially on days when you’re short on time. You may not break a sweat, but you’ll definitely feel it afterwards.

The Downsides to Consider

Before you hit “add to cart,” there are a few important things to keep in mind:
