I’m Erin Palmer, a functional medicine nurse and health coach helping men and women strengthen their bodies, deepen their faith, and build practical wellness habits for the lives they’re called to live.

The name

Leve så vel — live so well.

That’s what my Norwegian grandmother would say. She embodied those words, living well for her faith, her family, and all who stepped into her 98 years on this earth. She was bigger than life, and the evidence of her imprint continues today.

Her example shaped a simple conviction: health is not merely the absence of a diagnosis. It is the capacity to love, serve, participate, and live with purpose.

The choices we make today can create ripple effects of strength and wellness for generations to come.

My story

My Journey from Prediabetes to Whole-Person Wellness

I’m a registered nurse, functional medicine nurse specialist, and health coach. I’ve spent 30 years educating and caring for people during times of health and great need.

My own health changed the direction of my work. Several years ago, after 18 months of “clean eating” and twice-daily exercise, I was dealing with injuries that wouldn’t heal and was diagnosed with prediabetes. I thought I was doing everything right — yet I was still moving toward chronic disease.

That wake-up call pushed me beyond surface-level advice. Through deeper study and practical changes, my metabolic health improved and I rediscovered energy, clarity, and hope. But God also showed me something bigger: we don’t simply need more health information. We need strength and resilience for the lives we’re called to live.

We need Him.

That conviction has grown into RISE UP Strength & Soul — a yearlong journey connecting physical wellness, spiritual growth, peace, purpose, and practical change.

I am a Registered Nurse, Functional Medicine Nurse Specialist, and Chronic Care Professional, and I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Informatics and Patient-Centered Technologies.

But more than all these things, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ..

The Live So Well approach

Mind, body, and soul belong in the same conversation.

I blend clinical experience, functional-medicine principles, health education, faith, and compassionate coaching — without promising quick fixes or pretending one plan fits everyone.

Faith & purpose

Your health is a gift to steward — not a measure of your worth.

Faith does not guarantee a life without illness, and wellness should never become another source of guilt. My hope is to help you make wise, sustainable choices from a place of grace while trusting God with the larger story.

Rise with strength. Live with soul.
