Deconstructing Conventional Health with Christian Elliott

In this episode of Founders, Future, with host Zach Young, we sit down with Christian Elliott, co-founder of Healing United and a holistic health coach with over 20,000 hours of one-to-one coaching experience. Christian shares how his journey began by trying to solve his own declining health in his 20s — a path that led him outside the traditional medical model and toward mentors who helped him understand detoxification, nourishment, and the deeper root causes of chronic health issues. What started as personal exploration transformed into a decades-long mission to simplify true healing, question conventional systems, and empower clients to take ownership of their health.Christian also walks through the evolution of his business: from early nutrition and fitness coaching, to owning a 10,000-sq-ft integrated wellness facility, to now running comprehensive online programs with his wife and team. He explains how Healing United blends group coaching, one-on-one support, emotional processing, nervous system work, and practical detox methods — all within a psychologically safe, high-touch environment. Christian also reveals the challenges of running a natural health business in a shifting digital landscape and shares his goals for the coming years, including expanding his podcast Deconstructing Conventional, completing his book, and continuing to build a human-centered alternative to today’s fragmented healthcare system.
