About Natalie Youssef, MPH

A Coach with a Public Health Lens

I’m Natalie Youssef, MPH — a performance and health coach shaped by mountains, movement, and a lifelong pursuit of vitality.

My work blends behavioral physiology, neuroscience, and systems thinking to help high-performers rebuild their energy, regulate their nervous systems, and create lives that feel sustainable — not stress-fueled.

Because your health isn’t just about what you eat or how you move —
it’s about how you live, work, and the systems that surround you.

From the Mountains to Public Health

I grew up in the mountains as a competitive freestyle skier, making it to the Junior Olympics. Later, I led wilderness therapy expeditions — watching people transform when they were taken out of their usual chaos and given space to reset.

That curiosity about how environment shapes resilience led me to study Environmental Studies at Bowdoin College and earn my Master of Public Health from George Washington University, where I focused on environmental health, social determinants of health, and community wellness design.

Before founding Thrive With You, I worked in public health research and policy, building systems-level solutions. But I kept coming back to the same question: How do we help individuals rebuild their own systems before they break?

Science Meets Real Life

What drives me now isn't just research or theory — it's people.
I work with high-achieving professionals who are brilliant at what they do but exhausted by how they're doing it. People who've tried everything and still feel like they're running on fumes.

As a certified Health & Wellness Coach trained in behavioral physiology and neuroscience, I help clients stop overriding their bodies and start working with them. We rebuild energy from the ground up — through nervous system regulation, sustainable habits, and systems that actually fit their real life.

This isn't about perfection or willpower. It's about alignment.

My Approach: The Thrive With You Method™

A science-backed framework that integrates three systems of vitality:

1. Body Systems
Restore energy through rhythm, rest, and nourishment

2. Mind Systems
Build clarity, focus, and emotional resilience

3. Environmental Systems
Optimize your surroundings for calm and performance

Each pillar supports the next — creating alignment between how you feel, think, and live.

Let’s Build Something Sustainable

You don’t need to do more — you need a system that supports you.
Together, we’ll bridge science and daily life to help you show up with energy, clarity, and intention.
