Do you feel like you no longer have control of your life due to chronic illness?
You know you are not ok.
Have you been diagnosed with Thyroid Disease, Autoimmune Disease, Lyme, Mold, EBV, or Long COVID?
Do you white-knuckle it through each day because you are so tired you don’t have the energy to do the things you need to do, let alone want to do?
Are you losing time with your family due to fatigue?
Is your sex drive gone?
Can you remember the last time you felt energetic enough to go on date night or take your kids to the park?
Or maybe you are experiencing a sluggish metabolism no matter how much you exercise or eat?
Do you struggle to remember simple things or have difficulty with word recall? Are you constantly cold?
If this sounds familiar, then the Vital Basics Method™ is for you.
While your symptoms are common, they aren't normal.
Did you know it takes an average of 7 years and multiple doctors for women to get a formal autoimmune or hypothyroid diagnosis?
Are you ready to regain consistent and reliable energy so you can work to achieve your dreams, maximize each day, enjoy your family, and feel amazing?
I highly recommend Vashti Kanahele as a health coach!
I have been working with Vashti on my auto-immune disease for the past few years and I have found her knowledge and guidance extremely helpful. Working with Vashti, I have learned more about my auto-immune disease, been provided with helpful and informative resources, and benefited from Vashti's exceptional research. Working with Vashti led me to start seeing a naturopath who is more knowledgeable about my auto-immune disease than my regular doctor (who I am still seeing). Through this work, my gut, adrenal, and overall health has improved, and medication has been optimized. As a consequence, I have dropped pounds and inches, further improved my eating habits (including avoiding foods that my body reacts to), sleep better, and overall feel so much better.

You know this program is for you if:
This program isn’t for you if:
I know investing in your health can seem scary and overwhelming. But ask yourself these two questions:
What could your health look like in 6 months or a year if you invest in your health?
What’s the cost of not investing in your health?
I am totally indebted to Vashti as she is my superwoman who gave me my voice.
After I recovered from my pulmonary embolism in March 2021, I needed to learn more about my body, and how to remain healthy by making healthy choices. I contracted with Vashti to assist me in my needs. I also needed to prepare my body for my upcoming surgery, specifically myomectomy.
The word myomectomy to many women like me has a positive connotation as our menstrual pain is real and we do not have to go through the pain alone, there is an answer. Vashti not only helped me prepare my body physically with workouts appropriate for my body type, but we also worked together to get my mindset in a healthier state as she provided me with the tools to be successful. Vashti and I derived a plan. Vashti’s expertise related to environmental toxins was beneficial to my health as I did not want to consume any toxins that would affect my hormones and my body. In addition, a great liaison existed during my three months as Vashti assisted me in asking questions to my doctor, and helping me to comprehend my doctors’ explanations. I am totally indebted to Vashti as she is my superwoman who gave me my voice.
