Blossom Metabolic Health

I became a nurse to help people get well. It took me thirty years to understand what that actually requires. 

I'm Erin Englund, a registered nurse with three decades of clinical experience and a certified functional health coach. For the last 22 years my work has been conducting pre-operative interviews. I've been documenting health histories and medication reviews for patients having various surgeries and interventional procedures. Thousands of conversations. Thousands of health histories.

And over time, I started seeing patterns. 

Which patients recovered well and which didn't. Which medications seemed to be helping and which didn't. Who was thriving and who was slowly declining - and what separated them. At the same time I was going deep into my functional health studies, and the two began connecting in ways I couldn't ignore. The patients struggling most weren't just unlucky. There were common threads running through nearly all of them - insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, metabolic dysfunction that had been present for years before anything catastrophic happened. 

Over the years, I also witnessed my own family struggle with chronic disease and I fought hard to help them. In the end, I lost both my parents to diseases exasperated by metabolic dysfunction and I recently almost lost my sister to a very debilitating stroke driven by diabetes. These weren't statistics to me. They were the people I love most - and they changed everything about why I do this work.

So I decided to put it into practice in my own life. In the last four months I've shed 15 pounds, brought my blood sugar and insulin levels back into normal range, and recovered an energy I honestly thought was gone. I don't even reach for coffee in the morning anymore. Even my hairdresser recently mentioned that he thinks my hair is about 30% thicker and much longer than he's ever seen it!

That's what supporting your metabolic health can feel like.Not just a number on a scale. A body that's actually working again. 

At Blossom, I combine thirty years of clinical knowledge with a functional medicine coaching framework to help you understand the why behind how you feel - and build a clear, sustainable path forward. Because you deserve more than symptom management. You deserve to understand your own body.

If you're exhausted, inflamed, and tired of being told everything looks fine when you know it doesn't - you're exactly who I built this for.
