How I Can Help

Health isn't one-dimensional — and neither is the way I support people.

As Lisa the Health Gal, I bring together health and wellness coaching, metabolic health education, laughter wellness, and speaking — to help people take practical steps toward feeling better, living healthier, and finding more joy along the way.

Health & Wellness Coaching

Personalized support combining Lisa's experience as an Independent Trilivy™ Coach with her education as a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). Together, you'll focus on metabolic health, nutrition, healthy habits, lean muscle, movement, sleep, stress — and creating changes you can actually live with.

Laughter Wellness

As a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader and Laughter Wellness Professional, Lisa brings intentional laughter, breathing, gentle movement, and connection to women's groups, churches, businesses, support groups, senior communities, retreats, and more. No jokes or yoga poses required — just a willingness to laugh!

Speaking & Workshops

Looking for an engaging speaker for your organization or event? Lisa offers talks and interactive programs on metabolic health, women's heart health, healthy habits, stress reduction, laughter wellness, resilience, and finding joy in the journey. Programs can be customized for conferences, businesses, women's groups, community organizations, churches, retreats, and other gatherings.

Metabolic Reset

I thought I needed more discipline...

Until I learned it was my metabolism.

For years, Lisa thought she simply needed more willpower. What she discovered was that improving her metabolic health changed everything. Today, she helps others improve their health, reduce unhealthy visceral fat, preserve muscle, and create lasting results through simple habits and personalized coaching.

The Research Behind It

This isn't just feel-good talk — here's some of the published research behind laughter wellness and metabolic health coaching.

Laughter yoga measurably lowers stress hormones

A randomized controlled study found that a single laughter yoga session reduced participants' cortisol response to an acute stressor, compared with a non-laughter control session.

Meier et al., Stress journal ↗

The effect holds up across many studies

A systematic review of laughter yoga research found consistent decreases in stress, burnout, anxiety, and salivary cortisol levels across multiple controlled studies.

Metabolic syndrome is common, and rising

National health survey (NHANES) data tracked metabolic syndrome prevalence among U.S. adults climbing from roughly 33% in the early 2000s to over 40% by 2017–2018.

These studies point to real, measurable effects — but no coaching program or wellness practice is a substitute for medical care. Lisa's programs are meant to complement, not replace, guidance from your doctor.
