She is also the host of the A Woman Worth Healing Podcast where she shares her autoimmune journey and her different approach to health that transformed her mind and body to feeling better in her 40s than she did in her 20s.She’s a mother of two, a wife, and is personally reversing autoimmune diseases. She is a lover of nature and natural healing and is passionate about utilizing the gifts nature has provided for us.Thirmanda guides people with autoimmune diseases all over the world, motivating, educating, and holding a safe, sacred, healing space for them to take a different approach to their health to start naturally reversing autoimmune diseases.Thirmanda's JourneyAfter being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, Thirmanda Zavala was left feeling hopeless for a happy, healthy, pain-free future. She was tired of being under the care of doctors who operated under the “sickcare” paradigm. She was done spreading herself thin, rushing from doctor to doctor, and getting nowhere with her health. Allowing her doctors to manipulate her body with drugs and biologics didn’t seem like the answer; it was more like a bandaid approach. She wanted to restore her body back to health, not coverup the symptoms. Stepping away from our current healthcare system, now known to her as the sickcare system, Thirmanda’s goal was to get her hope back. She wanted to feel empowered again, in charge of her own body and choices. If you’ve ever felt hopeless and powerless, you know it is one of the worst feelings to experience. She never wanted to feel that way again.With her drive to become healthy, hopeful, and empowered, Thirmanda dove into research to find a way to heal. Through a friend, she was pointed to a path that led her to Functional Medicine. She fell in love with Functional Medicine! It restored her trust in medicine and gave her hope again. She felt empowered and wanted to spread that to others! She knew she needed to be part of this “wellcare” movement!In 2018, Thirmanda enrolled in Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA). During this 12-month health coaching program, she learned about Functional Medicine and how to support and cultivate others’ empowerment on their healing journey. On September 1st, 2019, Thirmanda graduated with a certificate of completion and became a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach (FMCHC). Her next phase was to further her credentials by becoming a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. After months of coaching clients and intense studying, in February of 2020, she finally sat for her 4 1/2 hour long Health and Wellness Coach Certifying Exam. On May 1, 2020, Thirmanda was officially a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC)!Thirmanda Zavala is a wife and mother to two beautifully strong girls. Although reluctant at times, her family has walked beside her on her health journey. Thirmanda is determined to provide her daughters with the tools needed to live long, happy, purposeful lives so they don’t have to go down the path of illness as she did. It has been challenging, but with challenge comes growth. Besides, Thirmanda loves a challenge.At the time of Thirmanda’s diagnosis, she didn’t realize her autoimmune disease would change her life for the better. She thought she would have to live with the pain and heartbreak of missing out on life. She did not know the trajectory her life would take. Her once purposeless life would turn into self-love and acceptance with meaning. She finally found her purpose! The side effect of her new healthy mindful life was happiness and health! This radiated off her and onto her family’s life. Her marriage was better (a happy wife is a happy life), her family is healthier and happier.After the initial mourning phase of her diagnosis was over,Thirmanda soon realized this illness wasn’t a death sentence, it was a wakeup call. “Our bodies have a wonderful way of waking us up through symptoms.”-Unknown. Her body wasn’t punishing her, it was trying to tell her something. Thirmanda learned to listen to her body instead of ignoring it and trying to push through the symptoms. When you fight against your body, in the end, you will both lose. Your body has an innate ability to heal itself. You just need to give your body what it needs to heal.Thirmanda's CoachingIn 2019, after graduating from FMCA, Thirmanda founded Health Coaching With Thirmanda Zavala, a virtual Functional Medicine Health Coaching business where she is the sole health coach.
