As a busy leader you juggle multiple priorities every day!
So many priorities that you sometimes have to choose between work, your family, and yourself.
This is NOT how you envisioned your life!
I get it. I see you. I am here to help.
When I left my demanding corporate job as a research physicist turned business leader I was looking for freedom and the ability to make a difference on my own terms.
Then I learned the hard way that you can’t pour from an empty cup!
You see, the fast pace I was used to had taken a toll on my health.
To make matters worse, life threw some curveballs my way when it came to the health of my family, too.
It was time to take a step back and reevaluate the foundation (i.e. my health) on which I wanted to build my new venture on.
Thank goodness for my tenacity and ability to apply logic, critical thinking, and analytical skills.
It served me well when it came time to distinguish fact from fiction in the nutrition world.
Yes, I went back to school for nutrition and coaching after leaving the corporate world. I wanted to share the most effective and cutting edge health + lifestyle findings I had applied along my health journey.
Now I combine my experience in the corporate world of starting and growing new businesses, and my own entrepreneurial journey as a health coach to help burnt-out professionals become healthy, self-expressed, effective leaders.
Waltraud’s Professional Bio
Waltraud Unger is a certified integrative nutrition health coach supporting entrepreneurs and leaders on their journey to grow themselves in order to grow their ventures.
She holds an MS in Applied Physics with a concentration in Quantum Optics and is proud to say that she was the first woman to be invited from her university to conduct her thesis at the prestigious Max-Planck-Institute for Quantum Optics in Germany.
While working at a Fortune 50 company she, along with her team, developed technology that is found today in flat panel displays at your home, office or vehicle. (Yup, she can speak geek!)
Being recognized for her vision and ability to turn ideas into business she quickly moved from research scientist to business development leader to a member of the marketing and new ventures team.
After her father passed suddenly from a rare and aggressive cancer and being faced with health challenges herself she left the corporate world to attend to her young children and to allow her own body to heal.
She attended the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and was fascinated by some of the most cutting edge findings in the nutrition world. However, most fascinating was how much of the ancient wisdom she learned from her own grandmother while foraging for wild berries, herbs and mushrooms could be found in new research.
Since starting her successful coaching business in 2010, Waltraud realized that health is as much an art as it is science and has used her knowledge and inner wisdom to support hundreds of individuals to create the life they desire.
Waltraud now combines her scientific mind and know-how in business development with her insight on health to be the catalyst for profound shifts in health and life.Health is the foundation for anything we want in life.
