About Kevin Arnold, NBC-HWC, FMCHC

Kevin Arnold is a board-certified health and wellness coach, a Functional Medicine Health Coach, a Certified Wahls Health Practitioner, an RYT200-certified yoga teacher, and a Behavior Change Specialist. 

In 2016, Kevin received a diagnosis of Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). Faced with a lack of satisfactory answers from various neurologists, he grew disillusioned with the conventional medical care process centered on diagnosis and medication. Recognizing the limitations of this approach, he embarked on a journey of self-education, delving into Functional Medicine and Nutrition.

Through extensive reading and lifestyle adjustments, including gut health improvements, stress reduction, and the adoption of healthy habits such as clean eating, intermittent fasting, and yoga, Kevin reclaimed his health. This transformation led him to become a Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach in 2022 and a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach in 2023. He practices alongside his wife, Dani Arnold, CNS, LDN, MS, at The Source Functional Nutrition, recognizing that tailored strategies are essential for optimal health and wellness attainment.
