Ruthie Perez Slingerland is a Certified Dr. Boz Keto Coach and Master Certified Coach (MCC) — the highest credential in the coaching profession, held by fewer than 2,655 people worldwide out of more than one million who call themselves a professional coach. She brings nearly 15 years of coaching experience and more than 20 years of leadership in communication, education, and wellness to every client she works with.

Her passion for metabolic health is personal. After years of navigating the energy fluctuations and health concerns that ran through her family, Ruthie made intentional changes through a ketogenic approach and disciplined daily habits. Those changes transformed her own wellbeing — and helped interrupt a long-standing pattern of diabetes in her family. That lived experience is what led her to become Dr. Boz certified. She doesn’t just understand the science. She’s lived it.

Ruthie integrates Dr. Boz’s metabolic framework with high-level behavioral coaching. Her clients receive more than dietary direction — they receive structured adaptation, genuine accountability, and strategic refinement built for the long term. Most coaches can tell you what to eat. Ruthie helps you understand why you keep getting stuck, and how to change that for good.

Her background is as grounded as her coaching. Before becoming a coach she worked as an adult ESL teacher, a legal Spanish-English interpreter, and a small business owner. She is known for her calm, steady presence and her ability to create the kind of clarity that makes meaningful change feel possible.

Ruthie has been married to her husband Jamie for 23 years. Together they have raised four children and recently welcomed their first grandchild. Her experience as a wife, mother, and grandmother shapes her coaching in a real way — especially for clients who are trying to build healthier lives while navigating the very real demands of family.

She lives in Franklin, Tennessee, just outside Nashville.
