Work with Shawn
You cannot pour
from an empty cup.
Work one-on-one with Shawn Blymiller — special needs dad, certified Functional Medicine Coach, and founder of Pure Living Family Foundation — to reclaim your health so you can show up fully for your family.
Written for parents who are running on empty
If any of these sound familiar, you are exactly who this coaching is designed for.
Exhausted but cannot rest
Your nervous system never fully turns off. You lie down and the alarm is still ringing inside.
Brain fog and low energy
You are researching treatments for your child but cannot think clearly enough to process what you're reading.
Weight, mood, or hormone changes
Your body is telling you something is wrong. You simply have not had the time or space to listen.
Ready to prioritize yourself
You know your child needs a healthy parent. You just need a clear place to start and someone to walk beside you.
One clear path.
Two ways to walk it.

Not a coach who read about this.
A dad who lived it.
Shawn Blymiller spent seven years navigating autism, gut health, functional medicine, and caregiver burnout as the father of Theo — an 11-year-old nonspeaking boy with autism. He did not discover this in a book. He built it because his family needed it.
In April 2026 he testified before the federal Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee, citing gut-brain research from Dr. James Adams at Arizona State University. He works alongside Dr. Adams as a formal community research partner.

There is no way our children can grow and thrive with their unique special needs unless we first attend to our own. Self-care is not selfish. It is the most important thing a special needs parent can do for their child.
Simple to start.
Clear from day one.
Questions before you begin.
How much does coaching cost, and can I cancel anytime?
Private Coaching is $250/month and Group Coaching is $97/month, both at a founding rate. Both are cancel-anytime memberships — there is no long-term contract.
Do I need a doctor's referral or existing lab work to start?
No referral is required. We begin with comprehensive lab work through Function Health so your plan is built on your own biomarkers, not guesswork.
Is this a replacement for my doctor or my child's medical team?
No. Coaching is designed to complement your family's existing medical care, not replace it. Always continue working with your child's medical providers.
What actually happens on the free discovery call?
It's a real 30-minute conversation — no pitch, no pressure — to understand where you're starting from and whether coaching is the right fit for your family right now.
I'm not ready to commit yet — is there a lower-commitment way to stay connected?
Yes. Join our free email list (in the footer below) for wellness tips and updates, and book your call whenever the timing feels right. No pressure, no deadline.
