Matt Simon, PHC, was born and raised in Austin, TX. Growing up on his grandfather’s ranch, he developed a deep appreciation for the outdoors. This eventually led him into the field (literally) of organic farming. Realizing the connection between regenerative agriculture and holistic health, and excited for the opportunity to share his passion for both, he completed the ADAPT health coaching curriculum and earned his Primal Health Coach Institute certification. His belief that optimal health lives inside each of us waiting to be revealed energizes his efforts as a Functional Health Coach.

Since working with Matt I have implemented multiple changes to my routine centered around making healthier choices. He has a very calm demeanor and inquisitive nature that really helped me feel comfortable talking about my health and wellness challenges. Prior to working with Matt I was mostly focused on the day to day challenges of life and he really helped me to craft a vision statement around my core values and priorities that I now use as a guide when things are particularly hectic in life. Would definitely recommend Matt if you’re looking for a health coach who listens attentively and has actionable insights on how to be healthier!
