ADHD wellness coaching helps a student rebuild the food, sleep, and movement habits that tend to drift first. Led by Lindsey Roberts, it runs alongside the executive functioning coaching work, because the strategies an EF coach teaches don't take hold when the body running them is underfed and underslept. This is coaching, not a clinical nutrition service.

ADHD wellness coaching builds the food, sleep, and movement habits that support executive functioning work, led by Lindsey Roberts, M.S. Nutrition & Functional Medicine.
It's coaching, not clinical nutrition or dietetics: we educate and build habits, and coordinate with a physician when a clinical need comes up.
Sessions are 60 minutes, run remotely, and use the Assess, Interpret, Troubleshoot, Teach and Repeat method.
The most common add-on to an EF, ADHD, or treatment transition engagement, and it stands alone too.
This is for the parent whose son or daughter is doing the thinking but can't get the body underneath it to cooperate. Wellness coaching fits when your student can point to a specific daily-living habit that's gone sideways and is willing to build small, repeatable behaviors to turn it around. It runs alongside an existing engagement, or it stands on its own. It's usually the right fit when:
Fatigue won't lift. Your son or daughter is tired by 11am even after enough sleep. (Where this looks physiological, Lindsey refers out for labs first.)
Food and sleep have come undone. Meals are whatever's nearest, or one meal at 11pm; bedtime has crept to 3am and mornings are getting missed.
Movement has gone offline. The walks and the gym have stopped, and energy, mood, and sleep have flattened with them.
They know what to do but aren't doing it. Your student can recite every rule; the gap is execution, not information.
An EF or ADHD coach often refers in once daily-living habits surface as the real bottleneck, and families early after a treatment transition come to us when the structure that quietly handled food, sleep, and exercise disappears overnight. It's not the right fit for a clinical eating disorder, weight loss as the goal, or medical nutrition tied to a diagnosed condition. For any of those, we'll point you to Komi Counseling and Psychology or a specialist provider who can give your student the clinical care that's needed.
Health and wellness coaching helps students build sustainable habits around how they eat, sleep, and move. Lindsey Roberts leads it as a complement to our executive functioning and ADHD coaching, for a simple reason: a student whose food and sleep have collapsed can't use the strategies their EF coach is teaching.
This is coaching, not dietetics. We're not diagnosing a condition, prescribing a medical nutrition plan, or providing dietetic services. We educate, support, and build habits, the same way our EF coaches do on the academic side. When a student has a clinical nutrition need, we coordinate with their physician rather than try to substitute for one. And as with every program here, the work is supervised by Ryan Roberts, our CEO and Clinical Director.
Sessions are 60 minutes, two to four times a month, and run remotely. A typical client works with Lindsey for three to six months. Each session takes on one specific resistance point, working through our method, Assess, Interpret, Troubleshoot, Teach and Repeat.
01
What your student ate, when they slept, when they moved, and where the day fell apart. Data first, no judgment.
02
Usually one habit is doing the most damage and one would do the most good. We name both before changing anything.
03
A four-minute breakfast. A wind-down at the same time three nights running. A 20-minute walk at lunch.
04
The next session, we look at what held, what didn't, and what to adjust. Setbacks get analyzed, not scored. Most of the work lands on nutrition habits, sleep routines, and movement reintroduced at a pace that matches where the student actually is. It doesn't cover medical nutrition services, eating-disorder care, clinical dietary management, or supplement prescription.
These are the shifts clients and parents tell us about, roughly in the order they tend to show up:
One meal becomes reliable, usually breakfast or a packable lunch, so the day finally starts with the body fed. Sleep stops sliding later every night; the wind-down sticks for three nights, then four, then most of the week.
Energy comes back in pieces, enough that movement starts to feel possible again, and the "I should be doing this" guilt loosens, with one small thing the student is actually doing in its place.
The coaching strategies on the academic side start to take hold, now that there's fuel and rest behind them.
Most wellness coaching clients are already working with a Level-Up Life EF coach, an ADHD coach, or a treatment transition coach. When that's the case, the wellness coach and the primary coach stay aligned on the same case, so the daily-living work and the academic work pull in the same direction instead of competing for the student's attention.
When you're already working with an EF, ADHD, or treatment transition coach, the wellness coach and the primary coach stay aligned on the same case, so the daily-living work and the academic work pull in the same direction instead of competing for attention.
When the wellness resistance eases, families often pause these sessions and return to their primary cadence. The work is meant to build something that holds, then step back.
If your son or daughter isn't in another program, wellness coaching stands on its own just fine, and many families add ADHD coaching once those daily-living habits surface a broader executive functioning pattern worth working on.
Wellness coaching is $150 per hour for remote sessions, which is how almost every engagement is delivered. For Utah families who prefer face-to-face, in-person sessions at the Komi office or a public location are also $150 per hour, and in-home sessions are $250 per hour. In-person capacity is limited.
Most engagements run two to five sessions. There are no contracts, and sessions never expire. When wellness coaching is added to an existing engagement, the sessions can bill separately or draw from the package you already have.
Insurance companies haven't deemed coaching medically necessary, so we can't bill insurance. That said, wellness coaching has the cleanest HSA or FSA case of any program we offer, because nutrition consulting is a recognized eligible expense under many plans. Confirming whether our program qualifies is the family's responsibility, and we don't provide insurance documentation.
Lindsey is the Health and Wellness Director at Level-Up Life and a Certified Culinary Nutrition Expert with a Master’s in Nutrition and Functional Medicine. She designs the nutrition and wellness programming that runs alongside coaching, recognizing that mental health and academic performance live downstream of how a student eats, sleeps, and moves. She specializes in adapting plans to dietary needs and family realities.
It can be. Most often it's added to an existing executive functioning, ADHD, or treatment transition engagement, since daily-living habits and EF habits really do the same work. On its own, it's still $150 per hour.
All ages. For clients under about eight, wellness coaching runs through the parent, since the household is the system that actually changes. From middle school up, sessions run directly with the client, with parent coaching coordination when it helps.
No. Wellness coaching at Level-Up Life focuses on the executive functioning around how a student eats, sleeps, and moves. It is not clinical dietetics or insurance-reimbursable care. For clinical needs, eating-disorder care, or a diet tied to a diagnosis, we coordinate with the client's physician.
Most engagements run two to five sessions, and some clients stay three to six months as the new habits stabilize. The point is to build something that holds, then step back.
There's usually about a two-week wait, since Lindsey is the sole specialist. If timing is tight, say, early after a treatment transition, let us know on the consultation and we'll do what we can.
Yes. Most of our wellness coaching is delivered remotely to families across the country. In-person sessions are available in Utah, but the work travels well.
A first conversation is a 15 to 30 minute phone call. We give you an honest read on whether wellness coaching is the right fit for your son or daughter and point you to where to start, whether that's wellness coaching alone, alongside another program, or one of our Coaching Programs.
