John Castella, Functional Medicine Health Coach, AFMC Certified
I am a Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach passionate about educating and empowering individuals and corporate clients, based on the principles of bio-individuality and the connectedness of all aspects of life.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, I began my career in Taiwan and Korea, where I managed business for a major footwear organization.
Possessing a lifetime passion for health, fitness and a balanced lifestyle, I became certified as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. Drawing from my first-hand experience of frequent business travel over the years and across many time zones, I learned the importance of maintaining a healthy body, mind and personal relationships, while achieving success in career and other pursuits.
For much of my adult life I suffered from asthma, a condition for which I believed there was no cure. Through lifestyle changes and employing the principles of functional medicine, I was able to prove myself wrong by completely ridding my body of asthma.
I hold Certifications from The School of Applied Functional Medicine, The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, Bachelor’s Degree in Asian Studies, Master’s Degree in Chinese Studies, and speak fluent Mandarin.
