LATEST STORIES

In a rapidly evolving health landscape, wellness professionals often struggle to find the resources they need to guide their clients effectively. Dr. Valerie Feghali, creator of the Wellness Vault, has made it her mission to bridge that gap. In a wide-ranging interview with TereZa Hakobyan-Lolli and Anthony Lolli, Editors-in-Chief of longevity and wellness platform Biohack Yourself, for the influential upcoming women’s health documentary, “sHEALed,” Feghali shared her journey from physical therapist to holistic health advocate and how her platform is revolutionizing the way health coaches support their clients.

The sHEALed Documentary is the sister documentary to Biohack Yourself, which became a massive success after exploding on the scene in December 2024 and ignited a firestorm of interest in information focused on health and longevity. Biohack Yourself features 114 prominent and respected high-profile politicians, doctors, bestselling authors, Ph.D.s, M.D.s, scientists, chemists, inventors, biotech investors, and world-renowned academics. Stemming from the success of Biohack Yourself, TereZa Hakobyan-Lolli and Anthony Lolli have grown Biohack Yourself Media to become the number one resource for health news, publishing over 500 articles ranging from breaking news to peer reviewed content.

From Physical Therapy to Holistic Health

Dr. Feghali’s path to creating the Wellness Vault was deeply personal. Trained as a physical therapist, she spent a decade treating patients, only to realize that conventional therapy often failed to address the root causes of chronic pain and health issues. “We treated with exercise and manual therapy, but we weren’t getting to the underlying problems,” she explained. This realization led her to explore holistic health, where she found a more comprehensive approach to healing.

Her passion for women’s health was further fueled by personal struggles. After discontinuing birth control in her mid-20s, she faced unexpected fertility challenges. “I didn’t get my menstrual cycle back for a year and a half,” she shared. “I was never educated on the long-term effects of birth control.” At the same time, her mother was diagnosed with cancer, exposing her to the shortcomings of conventional medicine in addressing both disease and wellness. These experiences motivated her to dive deeper into functional medicine and alternative health approaches.

The Wellness Vault Comes to Life

The Wellness Vault was born out of necessity. As Dr. Feghali transitioned into holistic health coaching, she found that many coaches lacked the resources needed to support their clients. “Education alone isn’t enough,” she noted. “Clients need tools—meal plans, challenges, and structured programs—to implement what they learn.”

Her solution was to create a content hub specifically for health coaches, wellness practitioners, and functional medicine professionals. The Wellness Vault provides fully customizable resources, including:

Meal plans and recipe packs tailored to different health needs
Challenges and protocols for detox, hormone balancing, and metabolic health
Guides on circadian rhythm, liver health, and strength training

This allows practitioners to personalize content for their clients without spending hours creating materials from scratch.

A Focus on Women’s Health

Women’s health is at the heart of the Wellness Vault, reflecting both Dr. Feghali’s personal experiences and the needs of her community. “Most of our members are women treating other women,” she said. The platform includes specialized resources on hormone balance, menstrual health, and fertility, recognizing that women face unique challenges that are often overlooked in mainstream medicine.

She also emphasized the importance of strength training for women, which is frequently neglected in traditional wellness programs. “Women need to build muscle to support hormonal health, bone density, and overall longevity,” she explained. The Wellness Vault provides strength training programs that can be adapted to various fitness levels.

Continuous Evolution and Community-Driven Content

One of the standout features of the Wellness Vault is its commitment to continuous improvement. Dr. Feghali and her team regularly update the platform with new materials based on member feedback. “We’re constantly asking what our practitioners need,” she said. “We run Q&A calls, send surveys, and work with experts to develop new guides.”

This collaborative approach ensures that the Wellness Vault stays relevant in an ever-changing health landscape. It also reflects a larger shift toward more holistic, integrative health solutions, which Dr. Feghali sees as the future of wellness.

The Growing Demand for Holistic Health

The rise of functional medicine and holistic health is reshaping the medical industry. Dr. Feghali is optimistic about this shift, especially as more conventional doctors begin incorporating holistic approaches. “We’re seeing primary care doctors explore functional medicine, and that’s where the Wellness Vault comes in,” she explained. “It provides them with resources to support their patients beyond standard medical advice.”

She believes that holistic health will continue to gain traction as people seek more sustainable, root-cause-focused approaches to wellness. “People are tired of band-aid solutions,” she said. “They want real, lasting change.”

Actionable Takeaways for Women’s Health

Dr. Feghali’s insights go beyond professional coaching—her advice is valuable for any woman looking to take control of her health. Here are some key recommendations:

1. Understand the Impact of Hormonal Health

Women should be educated on the long-term effects of birth control and how to support their hormones naturally.
Tracking menstrual cycles and addressing irregularities early can prevent
long-term issues.

2. Prioritize Strength Training

Regular resistance training helps maintain muscle mass, supports bone health, and balances hormones.
Women should not fear lifting weights—it is essential for longevity and metabolic health.

3. Be Mindful of Environmental Toxins

Endocrine disruptors in plastics, personal care products, and household cleaners can affect hormone balance.
Opting for organic foods and non-toxic products can significantly reduce chemical exposure.

4. Nutrition Matters More Than You Think

Whole, unprocessed foods should be the foundation of a healthy diet.
Avoiding seed oils, processed sugars, and artificial additives can improve overall well-being.

5. Advocate for Holistic Care

Women should feel empowered to seek functional medicine practitioners who address root causes rather than symptoms.
Healthcare should be a partnership, not just a prescription.

Looking Towards the Future

Dr. Feghali envisions a world where holistic health is not just an alternative, but a fundamental part of mainstream wellness. Her goal is to continue expanding the Wellness Vault, providing even more tools for health coaches and practitioners. “We want to make holistic health accessible,” she said. “When practitioners have the right resources, they can change lives.”

Her message is clear: women’s health needs more attention, and practitioners need better tools. Through the Wellness Vault, she is not just providing content—she is building a movement that empowers both health professionals and the individuals they serve.

For those interested in taking charge of their health, whether as a practitioner or an individual, Dr. Feghali’s work offers a roadmap for lasting, meaningful wellness
