From Chronic Pain to Chronic Health - Chronically Healthy Life S4 Ep23
💛 This Friday, I’m not hosting… I’m sharing my story.
For most of my life, the word “chronic” didn’t mean “health” to me.
It meant pain.
It meant medications.
It meant waking up and wondering if this was just… my new normal.
When I was 18, I was hit by a one-ton truck.
That accident didn’t just bend metal — it changed the next 20 years of my body, my gut, my mood, my energy… my entire life.
Doctors did what they were trained to do: manage symptoms.
Pain meds. More pain meds. “This is probably as good as it gets.”
And for a long time… I believed them.
Until the day I realized something that still makes me emotional to say out loud:
I was surviving — not living.
This Friday on Chronically Healthy Life, Kristy Boyd Johnson interviews me, and I share the real backstory behind how I became a Functional Nutrition & Longevity Coach — and why I’m obsessed with helping people uncover the root cause behind chronic symptoms like:
âś… chronic pain
âś… inflammation
âś… fatigue / low energy
âś… gut issues (IBS, bloating, sensitivities)
âś… weight loss resistance & metabolic dysfunction
âś… brain fog & mood swings
âś… toxin overload (heavy metals, pesticides)
We talk about functional nutrition (not diet culture), bio-individuality (because YOU are not a template), and why healing often requires more than “eat better and work out harder.”
We even get practical — like why intermittent fasting (starting with a simple 12/12) can support metabolic health, and why the body needs time to rest, repair, and renew.
And we go into what I call biohacking for longevity — using tools that support the body’s innate ability to heal, like optimizing oxygen, improving mitochondrial function, and stacking strategies that support recovery and resilience. (Yes… you’ll hear us talk about things like hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and PEMF too.)
But most of all… this episode is personal.
Because I know what it feels like to be told:
“You’ll just have to live with it.”
And I also know what it feels like when your body whispers:
“Try again. There’s another way.”
