In this episode of How to Get Ahead with Millennial Life Coaches, host Tanya Lleigh (IG @tanya_lleigh) sits down with Dr. Patrice High, a physician, lifestyle medicine advocate, founder of NuEmpowerment Health, verified MLC member, and featured coach on the Millennial Life Coaches homepage.
Dr. High brings more than 20 years of clinical experience and a deeply personal perspective to the conversation. After seeing patients recover from one chronic illness only to face another — and after facing her own health wake-up call after becoming a mother — she began exploring lifestyle medicine and practical, sustainable ways to help people improve their health from the inside out.
Together, Tanya and Dr. High discuss chronic illness, plant-forward nutrition, whole-person wellness, women’s health, hormones, sustainable habit change, food choices, medical care, and why health transformation does not have to come from restriction, shame, or perfection.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Dr. High’s journey from traditional family medicine to lifestyle medicine
• Why chronic illness prevention needs more than quick prescriptions
• Whole-food, plant-forward eating and sustainable lifestyle changes
• How to work toward health without focusing only on weight loss
• Why health coaching should complement your primary care physician
• The importance of a team-based approach to care
• Women’s health, hormones, hot flashes, sleep, and stress
• How to reduce all-or-nothing thinking around wellness
• Why health is about progress, not perfection
• How grace, self-care, and daily decisions shape long-term wellness
