Certified PHD Coaches
You don’t have to do this alone
Sometimes you just need someone in your corner who gets it. These certified coaches have lived the Proper Human Diet themselves, and now they help folks like you do the same — one-on-one, at your pace, with real encouragement along the way. Find someone who feels like the right fit.


A little honesty first
How a PHD coach can help you
Most of these coaches came to the Proper Human Diet the way you might have, by turning their own health around first, then training in the framework I teach so they can help you do the same. They are not doctors and will not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. What they will do is walk beside you through the everyday part: what to put on your plate, how to build habits that stick, and the questions that come up along the way. Each coach runs their own practice, so you reach out, decide together what makes sense, and work with them directly. Think of DrBerry.com as the introduction, not the middleman.
