HEALTHY HABITS Master Your Wellness with a Health Coach
You have a financial planner, a personal assistant, and even a personal trainer but, if your goal is "quality of life," do you have a health coach yet?
SOLUTIONS
How often have you been to doctor after doctor with concerns about general symptoms? You explain you're not sick but are experiencing stress, fatigue, or digestion difficulties, which might point to any one of a host of health concerns. Now, Flourish Nutritional Therapy & Health Coaching may have answers.
Owner Heather Hanson is a local Nutritional Therapist and Health Coach working to get to the root cause of those symptoms. As an RMA, who has also been let down by traditional medicine, Heather is eager to help clients figure out the reason for their diminished quality of life, then create a plan of action. "I love empowering people to take back their health," she says. "As a nurse, I saw people in their 30s blaming their lack of wellness on getting old. Those things are not normal at that age and I was frustrated to see them given a bunch of medicine and still not feel well." "HUMANS ARE NOT MEDICINEDEFICIENT. WE DON'T NEED TO BE ON SO MANY PHARMACEUTICALS TO BE HEALTHY."
Heather's process begins with a free 15-minute evaluation. "I get a full history, literally," she says. "I ask about a client's life since birth and pull clues together to see what might have gone awry, and when, in his or her health life. Then we figure out what we need to do, together, to be well."
GETTING BACK TO WELLNESS
Heather's methods focus on teaching clients the magic—how to eat and exercise, restore digestion absorption, reduce the impact of stress, and increase things that make the body work effectively, like sleep, exercise, and hydration. "The human body is complicated, so I determine what is going on for each client, what he or she needs to become well, and create a plan based on that need."
She acknowledges and understands that not everyone is ready for immense change; "It's not about never having chocolate cake again. We can take baby steps because each plan must be something the client will sustain long-term."
She also believes strongly in holistic gut health and provides advanced testing for mold exposure, stool sampling (to study metabolism and microbe balance), and food sensitivity.
TRANSFORMATION
Heather typically works with clients from three months to one year, and makes herself available to them as often as they feel comfortable. "I get my clients on a good roll and help as much as they need to figure out their plans. I understand the frustration of people who are not feeling well, and I always provide the care I, too, wish I could get at the doctor's office."

RR Dentistry Carries on Legacy of Small-town Care
At RR Dentistry, you’re one of the family. “It’s not a dental clinic with the sliding glass door where people don’t know your name,” Dr. Ryan Roberson says. “We treat everyone as a whole human being, and even call our waiting room a ‘Receiving Room’ because we would never make our family wait to see us. Our objective is to see our patients at their reserved appointment time,” says Dr. Roberson.
“Treat everyone like family” was Dr. Bart Smith’s motto when he opened the practice in 1997. He was originally drawn to Georgetown’s small-town feel, but stayed thanks to parallel growth of the city and his practice. Others have since joined him in his mission to provide holistic, compassionate care, including current owners Dr. Ryan Roberson and Dr. Cory Roach, and Dr. Chad Abrams, who came on board in July.
THE DIFFERENCE
RR Dentistry combines a state-of-the-art dental office with Texas hospitality. Doctors and staff provide a warm welcome to patients, cutting-edge technology, and ever-improving dental expertise in the evolving areas of health care. Their approach is proactive and holistic, going beyond just solving problems in a patient’s mouth to improving overall health and staying ahead of the problems. “We don’t want to do Band-Aid fixes,” Dr. Roach says. “If we can get to the root of the problem and keep your mouth healthy and well, you’ll have a healthier and happier life.”
Dr. Roberson adds, “The mouth and surrounding structures are a doorway to the body where food, liquids, and air are responsible for sustaining and optimizing a healthy life. There is a huge correlation to the structure and function of the mouth and jaws to overall health, quality sleep, and optimal nutrition, which directly impact one's life and how we experience life on a daily basis."
SERVICES
Full spectrum of general and cosmetic dentistry, orthodontic treatment, and periodontal care Implant restorations to replace teeth CEREC-same day crowns Air abrasion and laser dentistry, a less-invasive alternative to drilling cavities Cone beam 3D imaging, which identifies pain at the source and provides vital information for root canals, extractions, dental implants, and airway management Dental microscopy; care with a microscope Laser therapy, used in oral care, gum disease, tooth repair, air way health, and pain relieving treatments Dental sleep medicine treatment options that use a variety of oral appliances and laser therapies to treat snoring and sleep apnea
When it comes to the future of RR Dentistry, Dr. Roach says, “We’re growing as Georgetown is growing.” To meet demand, RR Dentistry is building a new office that will allow for more comfort and conveniences for patients, earlier scheduling, and more patient openings. It will also provide room for additional technology and advancements as they come along. Dr. Roach says, “We want to keep serving the people of Georgetown and deliver an exceptional experience, which has been the expected outcome for the last 25 years.”

Fix the Cell to Get Well Health for a Purpose Promotes Healing with Cellular Detox
Tammy Stewart has seen many stories of healing thanks to cellular detox, a holistic treatment that targets the root cause of an illness instead of just the symptoms. “At the cellular level, toxins cause inflammation; the leading cause of 90 percent of degenerative conditions,” she says. “We go to a doctor and the only tools are drugs or surgery, which typically do not remove the cause of the problem.”
Tammy became frustrated when her family began having health problems and their doctor simply prescribed pills. She embarked on a healing quest and discovered cellular detox, which removes toxins from cells through a cellular healing diet, exercise, elimination of household toxins, and safe, effective removal of toxins that have been held in the cells since conception. When Tammy uncovered hidden health culprits her family's need soon turned into a calling. “I could have said ‘I’m done. I fixed my family,’ but I really just believed God called me to share that with other people.”
She is part of Dr. Dan Pompa's Health Centers of the Future platinum group of practitioners and adheres to his slogan, “Fix the cell to get well.” Tammy says, “We believe God designed the body to heal. When the interference of toxicity and poor nutrition is removed and you give the body what it needs, you can achieve true cellular health.”
Health for a Purpose teaches clients all over the world how to detoxify through self-guided programs and custom coaching to address chronic illnesses. Tammy’s office offers a stem cell machine for pain reduction and improved blood supply as well as a hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment, among other on-site therapies.
While other natural health practitioners also focus on root causes of a problem, Health for a Purpose goes a step further. “Very rarely do you find one who asks, ‘Is there mold in your house? Is there lead in your body?’ A lot of them are getting into cell inflammation but not going all the way upstream to see what toxin is causing that inflammation. We go all the way upstream and remove the cause,” Tammy says.
