ABOUT
Science-informed health coaching designed for women by a woman.
Hi, my name is Patty Hladki, and I haven’t always been so passionate about health and wellness.
As a mother, wife, and Corporate Strategy Executive for a Fortune 100 company, I had precious little time to contemplate health – or so I thought!
Sure, I tried to eat well and exercised regularly, but with a million other things competing for my attention the “juggle” was real.
Then my eldest son’s unexplained and worsening illness (life-threatening allergies, asthma, eczema, and other life-impacting conditions) became unbearable. For years, we saw the specialists and took the pills but traditional medicine was unable to help, treating each symptom individually, never looking at the “whole”.
Driven by a need to find answers for my son, I began my own research, delving into the gut microbiome and the new science of epigenetics. But I needed help and I knew it. Eventually, I found an amazing Doctor of Functional Medicine that changed everything about how I saw the human body, it’s various systems, and the interconnectedness of it all. He identified the root cause of my son’s condition as leaky gut, explaining how he got there, why many of the pills suggested by traditional medicine often made things worse, and finally, how to heal him naturally through diet, lifestyle, and supplementation. And it worked!
Experiencing this transformation was a life-changing revelation and has had a long-term positive effect not only on my son’s health but mine as well. He is strong, healthy, and thriving, and I look healthier and happier than I did nearly 15 years ago!
“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts” – Aristotle
What started as a desire to heal my son became a calling to help others heal too.
Inspired by the changes I saw in my health, and the health of my family, I was curious to learn more.
Initially I focused on self-educating and experimenting with small and large changes at home. But as my own life transformed, I became more and more amazed at both the power of the human body and our overall lack of awareness and education on the subject.
I watched the women around me at work and in my social network struggling under the weight of “all the things” without the underlying health and vitality to deal with it. And I wondered what the world would be like if these women were able to unleash their own intrinsic vitality. I had an inkling that the world would be a better place. So I decided to do something about it.
I stopped transforming businesses and started transforming lives.
I completed the Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching Certification at the esteemed Institute of Integrative Nutrition, and left the corporate world to set up Connected Whole Health.
The collaborative, strategic nature, and attention to detail that helped me succeed in the corporate world, is now focused on delivering highly customized health and lifestyle coaching to help my clients succeed.
Having experienced the incredible transformation possible once we take back control of our health and wellness, I’m on a mission to help other women achieve lasting health and wellness for themselves and their families too.
