Sustainable Health & Nutrition with Molly Pflederer and Ryan Parnham
 
1 Corinthians 10:31 (ESV) “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” 
 
Molly Pflederer is a 38 year old mother of 3 and has been married for 16 years.




As a trained holistic health coach and graduate from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, Molly is passionate about helping others feel their best and find purpose.  She has always been passionate about health and fitness, but grew increasingly more intentional when she found her health in a bad state.  She was experiencing daily headaches, body/joint pain, extreme fatigue, brain fog, and digestive issues.  With 3 kids under the age of 4 at home, she was miserable but couldn’t simply lay in bed. Then, the depression started to set in.  After years of useless doctor visits and unexplained symptoms, she searched to find a different way.
 
Hope was finally found through a more holistic approach to health, where simple daily changes made a huge impact.  She experienced first hand how food can be medicine, and that it truly affects the way you feel on a daily basis; both mentally and physically.
 
Molly firmly believes life shouldn’t be about restriction, rather balance; learning how to enjoy the things you love in moderation and having a healthy relationship with food!  Not using food as a crutch, rather as fuel to nourish our bodies in the best way possible.
 
Following the 80/20 principle can bring so much freedom to enjoy dinner out with friends, birthday parties, holidays and those fun ice cream runs with family and friends!  Knowing you don’t have to be a slave to your decisions, yet make conscious choices that will benefit your long term health.
 




Ryan Parnham is a 40-year-old husband and father from the Midwest.  He works as a nurse practitioner and has been practicing for over 12 years.   He is a certified Primal Health Coach and has also completed additional training with the Institute for Functional Medicine. 
 
His passion is living with meaning and purpose while achieving and maintaining good health for life. Ryan has been a health and wellness expert for many years and believes the path to good health does not need to be complicated and should be approached with both balance and common sense. 
 
Ryan found himself overweight and out of shape in his early 20’s and, since then, has dedicated his life to reversing this pattern by achieving and maintaining great health. He is not a fan of fad diets, exercises or supplements and develops his approach based off of what he calls “the four key elements” to health: nutrition, sleep, movement and stress.  He loves helping and coaching others on their journey to better health and vitality.
