Are you ready to finally feel better?

We don’t have a magic pill — but we do have the six pillars of wellness you need to live well & feel great

Think of the six pillars of lifestyle medicine like a roadmap to a happy, healthy life. Yes, even if you have EDS. Especially if you have EDS.

If you’ve been living with pain, digestive issues, dietary triggers, or pretty much any other unfortunate symptoms, you need to follow this roadmap.

However, the roadmap can be tricky to follow without a guide. That’s where we come in.

Our team of EDS-aware health coaches and nutritionists can help you interpret the six pillars of wellness for your unique lifestyle. 

We’ll help you find the root causes of your symptoms, address them at the source, and manage them for life.

According to the World Health Organization, 

60% OF HEALTH & WELLNESS IS ATTRIBUTED TO LIFESTYLE FACTORS

Learn how to improve your health & wellness with our EDS-aware lifestyle health & functional nutrition coaching. Emphasis on “EDS-aware.”

Most lifestyle coaches don’t know much about EDS. We do.

Our coaches and nutritionists understand your unique challenges. If you’re dealing with gastrointestinal issues like IBS, gastroparesis, or anaphylactic histamine responses caused by MCAS — on top of your other EDS symptoms — you need a tailored approach. 

We aren’t going to spew some generic “eat better, move more” advice. 
We’re going to listen to your story, help you identify any dietary triggers or nutrient deficiencies, and guide you through the specific lifestyle changes that will actually help you feel better — for good.

I have never had such effective treatments for my EDS, nor have I ever felt so understood with all of the complex issues my body goes through on a daily basis. Jason's approach is the best there is, hands down.

  • Emily is a certified holistic health coach dedicated to helping individuals manage chronic illness and take charge of their health. She works primarily with clients dealing with autoimmune disorders, chronic pain, gut health issues, and other long-term conditions. Emily is currently pursuing her certification as a personal trainer to further enhance her ability to support her clients in achieving their wellness goals.

    Emily’s passion lies in empowering others to feel heard, supported, and in control of their health, especially those who feel overwhelmed by chronic illness. Having personally navigated the chaos of the medical system and the frustration of feeling helpless with her own health, she is committed to ensuring that others never have to face these struggles alone.

    Her approach to coaching is compassionate, patient-centered, and focused on making health and healing feel fun and achievable—never intimidating. Emily helps clients recognize that, despite chronic conditions, thriving is possible, and she celebrates every step of progress along the way.

    Outside of her coaching work, Emily enjoys curling up with a good book, spending time with her children, and looking for ways to expand her knowledge and grow in every aspect of her life.

  • Yentl Burgos is a certified health coach, having earned her certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in 2014. Her passion for nutrition began after years of managing an intolerance to animal protein, which eventually developed into a severe allergy. This personal journey inspired her to research and learn how to maintain optimal health using alternative food sources, leading her to become a health coach.

    In addition to her work in nutrition, Yentl is a single mom, a hair stylist, and a business owner. She integrates her nutrition expertise into her everyday life and her work behind the chair, helping her clients by educating them on the foods that promote hair growth and reduce hair loss.

    When she’s not working at Connective Wellness, or her salon, Yentl enjoys being a homebody, indulging her love of books, and embracing the passionate, determined energy of her Scorpio nature.
