"I recently had the opportunity to attend one of Dr. Stacey Funt’s workshops on "Self-Care for Busy Women".  Not only was it one of the most well-articulated discussions on the benefits of healthy lifestyle behaviors, but her ability to tie together what we see happening with health trends in this country and the everyday choices we make was fascinating.  Stacey’s training as an M.D., as well as, her training in integrative nutrition is a winning combination.  I’m really looking forward to her next workshop!

COACHING  

​

It was so amazing working with Stacey during my core power coaching session.  She was able to really open my eyes to what is important to me in my life and guide me in the next steps of what I need to do to live my best life! I would absolutely recommend Stacey to anyone who is feeling lost to help them find their path again."

-Carly Bushman MD

​

“Stacey is a compassionate coach who approaches each client in a holistic sense. Each person’s journey has a different historical perspective and therefore coaching is not a one size fits all. Stacey was very adaptive to my individual needs and we set steps to move toward my own delineated goals which emerged from our discussions. Very professional and timely -- I would highly recommend Stacey for coaching."

-Alyssa Katz, Esq.  Connecticut

-"Stacey is a coach, mentor and guide. She creates a judgement free zone that guides you to your "Aha" moments. Stacey has opened my eyes and given me the tools to treat myself like royalty. Thank you Stacey! "- L. Wright, NYC

 

"Lifestyle Health has helped me to balance my life. I expected to lose a few pounds but am thrilled to have accomplished so much more. Dr. Stacey Funt’s reassuring approach has taught me to be mindful - not only in nutrition but in mind and body. Since beginning my journey with Lifestyle Health, I’ve lost 20 pounds. However, more importantly, with Dr. Funt’s assistance, I have established healthy habits and a substantial healthy living "tool-kit" from which to rely on. I would highly recommend this program to anyone."

-Sherry, Town of Huntington Resident, NY

​

"I was skeptical that I could make significant changes, but with Stacey’s support and encouragement, I did!  I accept myself as I am most of the time and realize that I don't need to beat myself up or be "perfect.”   Stacey's positive attitude is contagious and her continued support and guidance has been instrumental in helping me to reach my goals." 

-Alice, NYC
