If we haven't met before, I'm Christina Tidwell, founder and owner of Live Well with Christina. I'm so excited that you're here and have begun to delve into your health and wellness journey! Here at Live Well we help people with autoimmune disease take control of their health through nutrition, lifestyle shifts and personal empowerment.
If you suffer from:
Fatigue and energy crashes
Brain fog
Poor digestion
Symptoms of autoimmunity
Stress and overwhelm
...and aren't getting the support you need, I can help guide you through 1:1 health and nutrition coaching.
Health coaching is a necessary extension of the health care system in that together we have more time to uncover issues, implement strategies and assess outcomes together. Autoimmune disease is complex and to address it we need to come at it from all angles (pharmaceutical therapies from your doctor while also focusing on root cause factors like gut health, diet, sleep and stress). I offer accountability, a knowledgeable resource and most importantly support.
I always offer free 30-minute discovery sessions to get clear on your major health concerns and what’s standing in your way. Click the button below to set up your free consultation and we can create a plan of action specifically for you.
3 tips for supporting your body during busy days
Do you often feel stretched for time? Like you can never get on top of your to-do list or get a real grasp on your day?
I often hear from clients how their using coffee and sugar for afternoon pick-me-ups to combat their fatigue and crashes, even though they know it’s not supportive.
More recently, I’ve also been managing a busier schedule and I’ve discovered a few really easy, tangible ways to support my body so I can keep up with my to-do list without burning myself out.

Do you often feel stretched for time? Like you can never get on top of your to-do list or get a real grasp on your day?
These past few months for me have been the busiest my business has ever seen which is amazing! I’ve been able to work with so many people to take control of their health using diet, lifestyle shifts and personal empowerment. That being said, I’ve. Been. Busy. And when I get busy a fear creeps in that I will burn out, that I can’t handle it all, that I’ll get a flare up. Because in the past I HAVE. I’ve struggled with adrenal fatigue and burnout and stress and currently the #1 triggers for my own flares.
And I know this is something every single one (yes every single one…) of my clients is managing as well.
This time around, I’ve decided to do it differently and change the belief that, “I have to burn out in order to succeed.” Today I’m sharing with you the top 3 ways I’ve been supporting my body during this busy time that are actually working!
In the video below I share:
Why burn out and fatigue are not inevitable or a requirement for success.
How I shifted my mindset to radical self care in order to avoid adrenal fatigue.
3 easy practices I’ve found that help me fill up my energy tank and stay on my game to serve clients in my coaching practice.

Are you dealing with symptoms of chronic fatigue, brain fog, autoimmune disease, pain or digestive issues?
You’ve gone to doctor after doctor. You’ve received some answers, have started on medications and notice some relief (thank goodness!) but are still left feeling exhausted, stressed, inflamed and not fully yourself?
Or maybe every test has come back “normal” and your practitioners have told you that there isn’t anything they can do, to come back when things get worse, or to simply manage your stress better?
If yes, then you are someone who would benefit form 1:1 holistic health coaching.
