With functional, environmental, and regenerative health expertise, Tod Wickersham is a Functional Nutrition Counselor and Regenerative Health Coach who is Helping People Live Healthy to Live More Fully--physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually! 

He  recognizes that all his clients are unique, have different health challenges, and what works for one may not work for the other, but Tod’s  superpower is teaching his clients skills to create strong customized foundations  of wellness that transform their health, enhance their well-being, and foster their joy-filled longevity.  

With three decades of holistic health and wellness experience along with an updated education and certifications from the Functional Nutrition Alliance, he brings his clients a broad knowledge, strong intuition,  deep listening skills with proven processes to understand their unique  nature, identify their challenges, and achieve their goals.  

While  most medical practitioners are sincere and well meaning, Tod is frustrated by the suffering that is caused and the amount of money and  time that is wasted by the predominant medical paradigm that seems to  primarily focus on reducing symptoms of patients with chronic health  conditions and not addressing the root cause(s). As implied above, Tod shares his knowledge and wisdom with the goal that his clients transform their health to resolve both their unwelcome symptoms  and the chronic conditions causing the symptoms. 

Catalyzing Experiences and History

Tod  Wickersham’s passion for health and wellness—physically, mentally,  emotionally, and spiritually—along with four catalyzing experiences  ultimately led him to become a full time Functional Nutrition Counselor  and Regenerative Health Coach in 2021. During the prior decades his  health, wellness and spiritual counseling was limited to a part-time  focus by joyfully raising wonderful daughters and his environmental  consulting career which focused on profitably assisting businesses and non-profits thrive for the benefit of people and the environment. 

The four catalyzing experiences: 

1. After more than a decade of chronic and painful eczema and no cure  being offered by dermatologists, in the mid-1980s he completely and  permanently healed the eczema with acupuncture, herbal treatments, and  reducing sugar and dairy consumption.
2. After hitting his head in a 2007 car crash, he completed two years of forced study on brain health, oxygen therapies, detoxes, neurotransmitters, and nutrition that resulted in him healing the mild traumatic brain injury and unrelated recurring gut dysbiosis. 
3. After his father was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer in  the early 2000s, he spent more than a decade researching the foundations  of health and healing. Because of his father’s challenges and some of  his own, he focused his learning on men’s health, BPH, afib, longevity,  and cancer healing. At this point, he provided clients counseling and  coaching on a variety of ways of eating for health, cleanses,  supplements, oxygen therapies, and served his clients with other  holistic modalities he had been trained. In collaboration with other  experts, he also addressed his own weight issue and concerning health  challenges. 
4. Having moved to Madison Wisconsin for love at the beginning of the  COVID crisis, Tod was afforded the time to deepen his medical knowledge  and update his functional skills. He completed two comprehensive  functional nutrition and health training programs at the Functional  Nutrition Alliance and passed the certification tests to become a  Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor (CFNC) and a Certified  Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner (FNLP). These programs, based on  the functional medicine model of practice, teach the art of identifying  root causes of clients’ challenges and provide proven systems-approaches  to address them. With the added education and his prior experience, Tod  now helps most of his clients to increase their vitality and  successfully overcome their health challenges without expensive lab  tests or special supplements. 

Based on the experience gained from these catalyzing events, Tod’s serves a variety of clients with his superpower ;-) and his added focus on brain health, men’s health, and longevity, to enhance vitality and live healthy to live more fully. 

During  the 35 years serving clients, he completed many trainings including  acupressure, massage, exercise, sound healing, EFT, Chi Gong and Reiki.  He has expertise leading groups and facilitating meetings, as well as, creating safe and healthy homes and workplaces. He has also led prayer and meditation gatherings, provided spiritual  counseling and healing, and was a hospice pastoral care volunteer.

There are several benefits of including group interaction and participation in health improvement programs compared to teaching the course without this group dynamic, including:

1. Increased Motivation: Group interaction and participation can provide a sense of accountability, motivation, and support that can be difficult to achieve on an individual basis. Members of the group can motivate and inspire each other to stay on track with their goals, share their successes and challenges, and provide constructive feedback and encouragement.
2. Social Support: Group interaction can create a sense of community and belonging, reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness, and increasing feelings of connectedness and social support. 
3. Enhanced Learning: Group interaction and participation can enhance the learning experience by allowing participants to learn from each other, ask questions, and discuss ideas and strategies. This can also lead to increased retention of information and a deeper understanding of the material.
4. Cost-Effective: Group interaction and participation can be more cost-effective than one-on-one coaching or nutritional counseling.
5. Long-Term Success: Group interaction and participation can lead to long-term success by providing individuals with the tools, support, and motivation needed to make sustainable lifestyle changes that improve their health and well-being.

Overall, including group interaction and participation in health improvement programs can be a powerful tool for improving health outcomes, providing a supportive and collaborative environment that fosters growth, learning, and development. (Source: https://chat.openai.com/chat)
