Helping people and companies create true well-being
Meet Dr. Carla Hightower
As an MD, certified health coach and wellness expert, I founded Living Health Works to provide wellness workshops and online courses to teach educational information on food and lifestyle changes that help you heal yourself. I also work directly with companies to help create healthy energetic teams.
Healthy nutrition and lifestyle choices support your well-being so that you can live fully and thrive. I believe you can replace doubts about your future with peace of mind.
Research studies show that plant-based nutrition, superfoods, and lifestyle habits help…
- Boost energy
- Strengthen the immune system
- Promote healthy weight loss
- Maintain normal blood sugar
- Maintain normal blood pressure
- Decrease inflammation
- Decrease insulin resistance
- Support heart health
- Reduce joint pain

What makes Living Health Works unique is my extensive education and training, particularly my MD background and coaching certification. My wellness workshops and courses deliver evidence-based educational information that’s up to date and easy to understand.

Lifestyle Transformation
Research shows nutrition and lifestyle habits provide robust health and wellness benefits. In addition to a healthy lifestyle, work with a your personal primary care physician for any medical advice you may need.
Often a healthy lifestyle looks simple, but it’s not easy to achieve by using trial and error, figuring everything out on your own. Conflicting information and even misinformation are obstacles preventing you from reaching your goals. However, with the right educational resources and support, you will start your wellness journey with a clear path to your goals.
It’s my pleasure to show you how to live well and thrive!
