Meet The Expert
Lynn Rester, NBC-HWC, AIPCC
My focus is to help professional, ambitious women from mid-twenties to mid-forties with Hashimoto’s who want to get their energy back so they can excel in their careers and personal life. I also help anyone at any age with other autoimmune conditions when they desire to make a change in their health. I have Hashimoto’s and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which makes me extremely passionate about helping those with similar issues because I know what that type of suffering feels like. I founded Healthy Eating and Life Plans to offer 3 and 6-month individual coaching packages and group coaching packages where we cover everything you need to know about how to practice self-care to give your body the best chance of healing and recovering from autoimmune conditions using the science-based principles of the AIP Diet Protocol and Lifestyle.

What I'm Known For
Philosophy
I believe the body has an incredible capacity to heal when we address the root causes of illness rather than simply managing symptoms. My approach combines evidence-based health coaching with compassion, education, and personalized lifestyle strategies that empower clients to become active participants in their own health journey.
Having lived with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis myself, I understand the frustration of being told your lab work is “normal” while you continue to struggle with fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, digestive issues, and feeling unlike yourself. That personal experience, combined with more than 25 years of study and professional training, allows me to meet clients with both expertise and genuine empathy.
As a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach and Autoimmune Paleo Certified Coach, I partner with clients to uncover the factors contributing to their symptoms—including nutrition, gut health, hormones, stress, sleep, and other lifestyle influences. My role is not to diagnose or replace medical care, but to educate, support, and collaborate alongside clients and their healthcare providers to help create lasting, sustainable change.
I believe that healing is not about perfection—it’s about restoring hope, building resilience, and helping people feel like themselves again.
