Carly Elena Bayless

Carly is a Christian Health Practitioner and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner based in Tampa, FL, providing evidence-based health coaching with a holistic, heart-filled and integrative approach.

Services Overview

What is a Christian Health Practitioner?

The goal of a Christian Health Practitioner (CHP) is to coach clients through nutritional and lifestyle recommendations which are founded in Biblical health truths. Recommendations are made through understanding of the foundational aspects of health (a nutrient-dense diet, hydration, movement and exercise, rest and sleep, sunlight, time in nature), and better health is a natural consequence.

CHPs assess the bio-individual needs of each client and create a personalized, holistic plan for nutrition and lifestyle change. In her CHP work, Carly specializes in:

 

Digestive Health & Food Sensitivities

Optimize digestive function for whole-body wellness with simple yet effective protocols and functional testing such as the GI-MAP or GI Effects (or even empiric protocols).

Discover and address the root cause of your symptoms with MRT food sensitivity testing and/or a functional elimination diet and reintroduction process focused on nourishment rather than restriction.

Nervous System

If your brain and nervous system are programmed for illness and disease, rather than health, it will be difficult to access the complete healing God has for you. I specialize in vagal and limbic support for the nervous system, which has a role in every type of dis-ease and illness!

Metabolic Health

Nourish your body with whole food nutrition, reach your optimal weight, and say goodbye to restrictive diets for good! Utilize tools such as carbohydrate cycling, strategic exercise, and lifestyle factors to help you reach your goals through an empowering, non-diet approach.

Hormone Balance & Fertility

It’s time to reconnect you with God’s perfect design for your body and hormones– learning to love and embrace your cycle, understand your fertility, and make peace with your body once and for all. I utilize blood hormone testing and DUTCH testing along with diet, lifestyle and customized nutrient support.

Detoxification

Regain energy through whole-body cellular detoxification using the Cellcore Biosciences Foundational and Comprehensive Protocols, which address a wide variety of pathogens, bio-toxins, and chemicals as key factors in healing. I also address mold with many of my clients.

👋🏼Hey There, Friend!!!!

I’m Carly,
Your Christian Health Expert

As a functional nutritional practitioner trained through the Nutritional Therapy Association and the Institute for Functional Medicine, I blend the best of conventional medicine know-how with a heart-filled, holistic and integrative approach.

This isn’t just my profession — this work is deeply personal to me. By the age of 16, I had three chronic autoimmune diseases and a laundry list of symptoms. Conventional doctors offered little in the way of answers or reassurance, and I left appointments feeling disheartened time and time again. My quest for health, and journey through recovery is what sparked my passion for this field.

The functional approach changed my life, and it can change yours too. Simply supporting the body with what it needs to heal optimizes everything from metabolism and hormones, to mental & emotional health. This includes personalized nutrition, exercise & lifestyle habits in addition to strategic supplements.

 

🔍What can I expect?

Personalized, clear, effective care.

Rebuilding your health shouldn’t require spending thousands on expensive testing and supplements. That said – your health IS an investment that will pay dividends for years to come. I price services fairly and appropriately while keeping the mind, body, and spirit health of “future you” my top priority.

I use my coaching experience to prioritize the most critical nutrition, dietary and lifestyle interventions and the most efficient testing to make the most of your investment. This is how we make functional health solutions sustainable and attainable for all.

How is the care of a Christian Health Practitioner different from what I've tried before?

I assess the bio-individual needs of each client and create a personalized, holistic plan for nutrition and lifestyle change. We don't just make a plan- we educate, coach, and encourage you through the process, making adjustments as needed along the way. In this setting, I am consulting with you to support your health. A Christian Health Practitioner does not diagnose or treat pathological conditions, injuries, or diseases. Rather we support the foundations of health and root causes of dysfunction resulting in full-body balance.

Do I have to give up my favorite foods?

Not necessarily! You are in the driver’s seat here. 🚗 We will partner together to find the best plan to fit your individual needs, and I will support you in making the changes YOU decide are the right fit for you.

I’m all about bio-individuality and body autonomy, including food, lifestyle, and supplements – and this applies to your medical choices and decisions, too. Education and empowerment first, always, and radical respect regardless of what you choose!

Do you accept insurance?

Unfortunately, nutrition and wellness work are not generally covered by insurance as they are not considered a medically necessary intervention by conventional standards.

The good news? Without the expensive overhead associated with insurance, I am able to pass along savings to you with my appointment pricing! In addition, I provide a 20% supplement discount to all active clients. Every effort is made to keep care at Wholehearted® affordable, accessible, and effective.
