ABOUT

I'm Carey Kauffman, founder of WellSelf 360

My work is personal. I’ve lived through rare diseases, chronic illness and mental health challenges in my family starting at an early age. I know what it feels like to search for answers when there are none to be found. Through my background as a collegiate and professional athlete and my training as a whole health educator and coach, I’ve explored countless approaches and tools for optimizing performance, health and mindset over the years. Viewing whole health through a metabolic lens stands out as one of the most powerful, empowering myself and others to finally connect the dots and take meaningful steps toward healing and health.

​More on my story

CONNECT THE DOTS BETWEEN SYMPTOMS + ROOT DRIVERS

What is Metabolic Health?
 It’s not a new wellness trend or just about calories, weight, blood sugar or even diabetes. 

Metabolic health is how well your body powers every system. It influences everything - from hormones and brain function to sleep, immunity, and inflammation.

When it’s off, symptoms pile up: fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, poor sleep, or mood swings. Left unchecked, it can drive conditions like diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune flares, or depression.

​When it’s strong, you feel it: more energy, clearer thinking, steadier moods, lasting resilience, and more.

WHOLE HEALTH COMES INTO FOCUS THROUGH A METABOLIC LENS

The WellSelf 360 Framework
Connects 3 Essential Layers: Drivers, Levers + Support

CORE DRIVERS OF METABOLIC HEALTH
We focus on 5 core drivers of metabolic health. ​When these drivers are out of balance, they create "dis-ease" in body and mind; when supported, they create the foundation for lasting health.
LIFESTYLE LEVERS THAT SHAPE DRIVERS
These drivers are shaped every day by 6 lifestyle levers. Even small shifts in how these levers are used can influence how the body and brain function + accelerate healing potential. 
THERAPEUTIC + HEALING
​SUPPORT
Alongside daily choices, many people  benefit from therapeutic and healing support. ​These supports ensure every healing journey is guided, personalized + connected to the resources needed most.
Together, these layers help us understand why health breaks down, how symptoms connect, and more importantly, how to take targeted steps toward healing in a sustainable way.

Extend Care Team Support
For Women With Complex Health
​Challenges Beyond Clinical Visits

At WellSelf 360, we specialize in supporting women navigating midlife, perimenopause, and menopause, as well as those living with chronic or rare conditions and mental health challenges.

We collaborate with:
  • Primary care, integrative and other care team providers to help patients understand and apply lifestyle strategies that complement treatment plans and goals.
  • Psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists to share insights and enhance outcomes in the evolving field of metabolic psychiatry. 

We also equip care teams with science-backed educational resources, coaching insights and practical toolkits through workshops that foster patient-centered, whole-person care delivery. 

We do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Instead, we serve as a trusted extension of your care team - helping women bridge the gap between insight and action beyond the clinical encounter.
FOR COMMUNITIES + CHANGEMAKERS

Partnering with Organizations, Agencies
+ Leaders to ​Drive Meaningful Change
​At WellSelf 360, we believe true change happens when insights reach beyond individuals to transform systems. Our community and advocacy efforts unite individuals, organizations, and public-health leaders to advance understanding, collaboration, and action across women’s health, mental health, and chronic illness.

We collaborate with:
  • Community organizations, women’s groups, and corporate wellness teams to deliver accessible education and initiatives that empower women with knowledge, tools, and shared understanding.
  • Public agencies, nonprofits, and research partners to strengthen prevention and care initiatives addressing mental health, suicide risk, chronic disease, intimate partner violence, and substance use disorder. 
  • Policy and health-system leaders to translate science, stories, and data into sustainable strategies that improve equity, outcomes, and connection across systems of care.

Our goal is to help bridge the gap between awareness and action - empowering women, professionals, and communities to create environments where health, belonging, and hope can thrive.
​You don’t have to navigate this alone.
​Whether you’re focused on your own health,
supporting patients, or building programs that serve others,
my goal through WellSelf 360 is to help you
turn insight into action and create real change that lasts.
