We all have a story that can remind someone they are not alone. Our stories are gifts meant to uplift, inspire, and empower others. My journey is one of resilience, faith, and healing—a story I now share to encourage others to find the light in their own lives.
Who Am I?
I am a wife, sister, friend, coach, teacher, follower of Christ and a solopreneur. Before embracing my calling as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, I spent over 20 years as an HR Practitioner, guiding thousands of employees worldwide in an international development organization.
But beneath the surface of my professional life, I faced a silent battle—one that so many women silently endure. My health started to decline, especially my digestive health, and I was left searching for answers. What began as a health challenge soon became a journey of self-discovery. I was overwhelmed, stressed, and physically worn down, feeling like I had lost my way.
I cried out to God, not only for healing but for direction. I yearned for peace, wholeness, and freedom from the invisible weight I carried. I realized that the oxidative stress in my life had led to what I later identified as leaky gut syndrome.
What is Leaky Gut Syndrome?
Leaky gut occurs when the intestinal lining becomes overly porous due to inflammation, allowing toxins, bacteria, and partially digested food to leak into the bloodstream. This can wreak havoc on the immune system, leading to imbalances like bloating, fatigue, crashing hormones and other chronic issues.
I knew there had to be a way to heal, to reclaim not just my health but my joy, vitality, and sense of purpose.
My Journey from Stress to Health
It was through this deep struggle that I found my breakthrough. I discovered the profound truth that food is medicine, and that healing goes beyond physical symptoms—it starts from within. By shifting to a whole foods diet, embracing holistic wellness, and trusting the wisdom of my body, I lost 15 pounds and have maintained that balance ever since.
During the pandemic, I made a very courageous decision. After much prayer and reflection, I retired from my corporate career to follow my heart’s passion—to help other women who were suffering in silence. I enrolled in a health coaching program and found my life’s mission: to guide women toward reclaiming their health and joy. I also founded 4FoldLife, a health coaching practice that focuses on holistic wellness and the power of community as part of the healing journey.
Where I Am Today
Today, I am thriving in every way—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I live each day with purpose, driven by my faith and passion to help other women awaken to the incredible power of healing through nutrition and holistic living.
As a Health Coach, my mission is to support the woman who feels trapped, overwhelmed, or disconnected from herself. I want to walk alongside women who are struggling with digestive issues, stress, or imbalances, helping them rediscover their health, hope, and joy—because we all deserve to thrive. If you are ready to step into the next chapter of your own story, to heal from the inside out, and to embrace the vibrant life that awaits you, I invite you to connect with me at lindabah@4foldlife.com. I would be honored to walk this journey with you.
