1. ABOUT US
Premier Integrative Health (PIH) is a cash-based functional medicine practice in North Kansas City, built on a simple conviction: health is created, not prescribed. Our founder, Dr. Bradley Dyer, is a board-certified internal medicine physician who completed a fellowship in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona under Dr. Andrew Weil and is certified through the Institute for Functional Medicine. He started this practice after years in the conventional system convinced him that suppressing symptoms is not the same as resolving what causes them.
Our physicians, naturopathic doctor, nutritionists, health coaches, nurse, and patient support team work side by side in a collaborative, data-driven practice serving patients across the Kansas City metro and virtually. Patients come to us through our six-month Premier Signature Program and our lifetime Premier Health Collective membership, which means we walk alongside people for years, not appointments.
Our goal is not to make patients dependent on the healthcare system. It is to teach them to become stewards of their own well-being - to eat, move, think, breathe, and live in a way that supports lifelong vitality. We are building a team of compassionate, growth-minded professionals who believe healthcare should be personal, proactive, and transformational.
2. OUR CORE VALUES
We operate by a set of values that shape everything we do — from how we serve patients to how we show up as a team:
- Ownership — We take responsibility for our actions, follow through on our commitments, and proactively solve problems rather than waiting for someone else to do it.
- Connection — We build trust by treating patients and teammates with honesty, kindness, respect, and genuine care.
- Growth — We embrace feedback, pursue continuous improvement, and challenge ourselves to become better every day.
3. ABOUT THIS POSITION
Our Health Coaches help patients turn personalized treatment plans into lasting lifestyle change. Working alongside our physicians, nutritionists, and care team, you will bridge the gap between clinical recommendations and everyday implementation through education, accountability, encouragement, and ongoing support. You’ll manage your own panel of patients across our Premier Signature Program and Premier Health Collective, while leading one weekly group coaching session for our membership community.
In your first 90 days, you’ll build trusted relationships with your patient panel, confidently lead your weekly group session, maintain timely and accurate clinical documentation, and independently manage patient communication and follow-up. As you settle into the role, you’ll also contribute ideas to improve workflows, strengthen the patient experience, and help us continually refine how we deliver care.
As a cash-based functional medicine practice, our patients have made a significant investment in their health. They are committed to creating meaningful, lasting change and value a high level of partnership, responsiveness, and personalized support throughout their journey. This is an opportunity to work with engaged, motivated patients while being part of a collaborative team that is deeply committed to delivering exceptional care.

8. WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE HERE
Our coaches do not simply conduct appointments - they become trusted partners in each patient’s health journey. You will know you are thriving here when your patients are implementing the changes their care plan calls for and telling you about it, when your charts and follow-ups are current without anyone asking, and when your weekly PHC session is a room people do not want to miss.
Over time, success means the physicians trust your judgment on your panel, the team counts on your communication, and the workflow around this role runs better because you improved it. Most of all, it means patients who were stuck are moving again - and they credit you with helping them get there.
9. HOW TO APPLY

- Tell us about a patient who was not making progress. What did you do, and what happened?
- What does your own health routine look like right now, and how does it shape the way you coach?
- Our patients often know what they should do but struggle to actually do it. How do you help someone bridge the gap between knowing and doing? Please give a specific example.
