One Step at a Time: Terri Chrisman's Path to Lifestyle Change

In this episode, hear the inspiring and experience-rich perspective of Terri Chrisman—a board-certified lifestyle medicine professional, nutritionist, author, and educator—who shares how personal loss, decades of self-discovery, and a deep commitment to plant-based living shaped her approach to health and healing.

By the time you finish listening, you’ll gain insight into Terri’s journey from childhood struggles with weight and loss to becoming a compassionate coach who helps others navigate lifestyle changes. She opens up about the emotional and behavioral roadblocks her clients face, the critical need to “start with what you know,” and why building trust and taking one small step at a time leads to sustainable transformation.

This conversation offers practical wisdom and personal reflection for both current and future clinicians. From overcoming misinformation to the power of personalized, whole-person care, Terri’s story highlights what’s possible when we meet people where they are—and lead with evidence, empathy, and lived experience.
