Gail is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, mom and wellness advocate, supporting those who want to take back their health, but struggle to make it happen on their own. Her mission is to raise awareness that we CAN control our health – regain energy, manage weight and live better lives -in large part by changing how and what we eat. 

In the 90’s her mother had open heart surgery to repair a leaky mitral valve. That day she swore to herself that she would do everything in her power to never be in a similar situation. Gail knew it was time to follow her true calling, her passion – helping others to learn and transform. She went back to school and began a rewarding career as a Health Coach. When she’s not blogging, coaching or creating irresistible new recipes, she can be found obsessing over her Fitbit steps, spending quality time with her boyfriend and family, perusing the aisles of Whole Foods or Trader Joes or at her most happy place of all – the beach (reading about wellness, of course!). Visit her website, The Right Track Wellness, to connect with her!
