At Sheila Jackson's practice, she provides a space where your voice is valued, your lived experience is heard, you are empowered, and your health challenges are resolved. Her mission? To liberate you from the constraints of conventional medicine and guide you towards a healthier life as you age... whatever that means to you. 

Sheila's focus is on hormone optimization, digestive and autoimmune issues. Conventional medicine has its merits, but it often only provides temporary relief of symptoms. Sheila steps in when you feel you've exhausted all options. 

Helping You Get Answers

Sheila's approach is thorough. As a new client, you can expect her to delve into every aspect of your life, gently guiding you toward understanding why previous health strategies have failed. Her customized treatment plans cater to your unique strengths and challenges, ensuring a personalized journey toward optimal metabolic health. 

Like many women, Sheila has had her own hormone health story and challenges with getting answers that aligned with improving her health from within the conventional medical model. Being passionate about transformation and personal growth has driven Sheila for over three decades in entrepreneurial roles,  professional healthcare and fitness, studying nutrition, researching hormones, and refining human behavior that forms an atomic alliance with the sophisticated biology of a woman's body. She believes in the power of nature to nourish our bodies, is fascinated by the psychological aspects of dietary choices, and unshakably believes in YOU and your body's innate intelligence to self-heal. 

An Education in Functional Nutrition 

After completing a rigorous certification program in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, Sheila began practicing at her Fort Worth-based office. Since March 2021, she's tested, refined, and shared her method with hundreds of remarkable women who found their way to her practice not through advertising, but through word-of-mouth—women sharing their transformation stories with sisters, friends, and colleagues who felt invisible, unheard, misunderstood, and dismissed by the medical system.

Sheila's qualifications extend beyond her acronyms. She realized that educating people on the connection between what they put in their bodies, hormones, and how they feel was insufficient, so she pursued health coaching and hormone literacy. Sheila was part of the founding classes that earned certification as a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach (FMCHC) at the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA) in collaboration with the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). She was also an adjunct faculty member at FMCA for two years.

Passionate about education, Sheila continues to learn more about why the body may lose function and what it takes to restore it. She holds the following certifications:

• One of the first National Board-Certified Health and Wellness (NBHWC) coaches in the United States, accredited by the International Consortium of Health and Wellness Coaching and the National Board of Medical Examiners.
• LEAP (Lifestyle, Eating and Performance) therapist – Group of nutritionists and Functional Medicine Practitioners that identify food sensitivities through testing and help people manage the findings.
• Reversing Cognitive Decline – Through FMCA in collaboration with Dr. Dale Bredesen, who specializes in Alzheimer’s. He is the author of “The End of Alzheimer’s” and established the ReCode Protocol.
• Methylation and Clinical Nutrigenomics in collaboration with Dr. Ben Lynch at Seeking Health. Focused on DNA and genetic predisposition and its connection to epigenetics and nutrigenomics. Sheila learned how behavior can affect our genetics; food and nutrients can influence how. 
• Fast Like a Girl Certified Coach, in collaboration with Dr. Mindy Pelz. Sheila learned how fasting behavior can influence hormone balance and optimal health outcomes.

Sheila has also completed the following courses for the benefit of her clients:

• Mastering Thyroid
• Mastering Functional Blood Chemistry
• Functional Endocrinology: Connecting New Research with Practical Applications
• The Gluten, Leaky Gut, Autoimmune Connection
• Dietary Supplement Specialist 

Stay Close to Nature—Stay Far From Disease

Sheila's philosophy centers on Test, Don't Guess, and our bodies thrive best on nature's foods. She appreciates the beauty of food and its potential to nourish us. Sheila firmly believes in the healing power of nature, often catching herself saying in conversations with clients, “The further away we get from nature, the closer we get to disease.”

Her Guiding Principles 

Sheila is grounded by faith, not fear. Our bodies are amazing, incredibly regenerative, and always working to support us without our conscious thought, moving resources on our behalf every moment of the day, working for us, keeping us alive. If we give the body what it needs and remove what it doesn’t, it will most often perform at a high level for us. Sheila is your advocate and is confident in her ability to help you help yourself.

Back to Basics & On the Path to Better Health 

In Sheila’s practice, simplicity reigns supreme. Why complicate things when we can return to the basics of fasting, quality food and water, movement, good sleep hygiene, supplementation, friendship, community, purpose, play, love, and spirituality (many of which are free)? This is how we were designed to live, not in sickness but in wellness.

Sheila is more than a listener; she is a longevity accelerator who offers encouragement, hope, and a functional path forward. She partners with you to initiate change, affirming that a better, healthier life is within reach. With her blend of knowledge, experience, empathy, and practical solutions, she’s ready to help you reclaim your life.
