Jennifer J. Brown is a scientist, a writer, and a mother who never got the luxury of separating those roles. Her memoir When the Baby Is Not OK: Hopes & Genes is a punch to the gut of polite society and a medical system that expects parents to smile through trauma. She wrote it because she had to. Because the people who gave her the diagnosis didn't give her the truth. Because a Harvard-educated geneticist with two daughters born with PKU still couldn't get a straight answer from the very system she trained in.We sat down in the studio to talk about the unbearable loneliness of rare disease parenting, the disconnect between medical knowledge and human connection, and what it means to weaponize science against silence. She talks about bias in the NICU, the failure of healthcare communication, and why “resilience” is a lazy word. Her daughters are grown now. One's a playwright. One's an artist. And Jennifer is still raising hell.This is a conversation about control, trauma, survival, and rewriting the script when the world hands you someone else's lines.Bring tissues. Then bring receipts.RELATED LINKS• When the Baby Is Not OK (Book)• Jennifer's Website• Jennifer on LinkedInFEEDBACKLike this episode?

For over a century, vaccination has been repeatedly linked to severe neurological injuries including brain damage — with many modern studies showing a 3 to 7 fold increase in common chronic illnesses To dodge this massive liability, all research into vaccine injuries (and many other catastrophes like Agent Orange) was suppressed so that health authorities could claim there was “no evidence” of vaccine harm Another scheme was to redefine the brain injury as “autism” rather than encephalitis (which the U.S. government was legally required to provide injury compensation for) Previously, children with significant vaccine brain damage were referred to as “mentally retarded.” However, after a multi-decade campaign cancelled “retarded” they were instead diagnosed as autistic — a vague term which blurs severe and minor disability together, thereby effectively concealing the severe cases from the public's awareness This article will reveal the manipulative techniques and wordplay that have been used to conceal vaccine injuries from the public's awareness, as now is the time when we can at last end this atrocity

This episode of Standard Deviation features Oliver Bogler in conversation with Dr Na Zhao, a cancer biologist caught in the crossfire of science, politics, and survival. Na's life reads like a brutal lab experiment in persistence.She grew up in China, lost her mother and aunt to breast cancer before she turned twelve, then came to the United States to chase science as both an immigrant and a survivor's daughter. She worked two decades to reach the brink of independence as a cancer researcher, only to watch offers and grants vanish in the political chaos of 2025.Oliver brings her story into sharp focus, tracing the impossible climb toward a tenure-track position and the human cost of a system that pulls the ladder up just as people like Na reach for it. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the NIH funding crisis, the toll on early-career scientists, and what happens when personal tragedy fuels professional ambition.Listeners will walk away with a raw sense of how fragile the future of cancer research really is, and why people like Na refuse to stop climbing.RELATED LINKSDr Zhao at Baylor College of MedicineDr Zhao on LinkedInDr Zhao's Science articleIndirect Costs explained by US CongressFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, our guest, Talitha Humes, shares her journey living with multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic illness that affects the central nervous system by disrupting communication between the brain and the body. This disruption can lead to various symptoms, such as fatigue, trouble walking, cognitive difficulties, and bladder control issues.Talitha recounts her diagnosis in 2005, a time filled with fear as she learned to navigate her various symptoms, particularly the trouble walking, cognitive difficulties, and bladder control issues. She emphasizes the support of her family, especially her husband and daughters, in coping with the challenges of MS.Talitha highlights the lifestyle changes she has made to manage her symptoms, including using a cane for stability and engaging in physical therapy to improve her strength and mobility. To address her bladder control issues, she discusses the use of disposable underwear, or "protection," which has provided her with comfort and confidence in her daily life. She also created an app called "See Meds" to help track her medications, which is crucial given the cognitive impairment associated with MS and the challenges of polypharmacy, where multiple medications are taken simultaneously.She discusses the importance of establishing a balanced routine, pacing herself, and taking breaks to avoid fatigue. Talitha also shares her experiences with depression and encourages those recently diagnosed with MS to seek help in accepting their new reality.This episode is a powerful reminder of resilience and hope. Talitha inspires listeners to focus on what they can do and find joy even in challenging circumstances. Join us for this uplifting conversation about living with MS and the strength that comes from support and determination.Who is Talitha Humes?Talitha is a patient-turned-founder who created a medication management solution after struggling with the confusion of taking multiple daily medications. She's been been living with multiple sclerosis since 2005, and she has experienced firsthand how medication appearance can change from month to month—creating unnecessary stress and uncertainty. She realized there was a gap in how patients track and recognize their pills. She transformed that personal challenge into a mission: to help others take the right medication at the right time. She's passionate about using tech to support people managing chronic illness, polypharmacy, or caregiving for loved ones—and she loves sharing her journey to inspire and inform others.You can find Talitha:On the web: https://seemymed.com/ On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seemedsapp/Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/E7NBTm1u9_4Original date of episode: July 18, 2025Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hot-topics--5600971/support.

Katie Henry has seen some things. From nonprofit bootstraps to Big Pharma boardrooms, she's been inside the machine—and still believes we can fix it. We go deep on her winding road from folding sweaters at J.Crew to launching a vibrator-based advocacy campaign that accidentally changed the sexual health narrative in breast cancer.Katie doesn't pull punches. She's a born problem solver with zero tolerance for pink fluff and performative empathy. We talk survivor semantics, band camp trauma, nonprofit burnout, and why “Didi” is the grandparent alter ego you never saw coming.She's Murphy Brown with a marimba. Veronica Sawyer in pharma. Carla Tortelli with an oncology Rolodex. And she still calls herself a learner.This is one of the most honest, hilarious, and refreshingly real conversations I've had.

S4 E2 Windy shares her experience of her faith and healing journey while living with chronic illness. It can be difficult to wait on healing for over 20 years and still keep the faith, but she is determined not to lose faith in God.

After nearly many years with chronic fatigue syndrome, I thought healing would be the end of my struggles. I was wrong. Recovery brought an unexpected identity crisis that nobody warned me about. In this video, I open up about the raw truth of what happens when you finally heal from chronic illness—the disorienting experience of no longer recognizing yourself or your place in the world. When survival mode ends, who are you underneath? What you'll discover: Why healing can trigger a profound identity crisis How chronic fatigue syndrome changes your personality and values The challenge of reconnecting with friends who moved on during your illness Why the "old you" might not exist anymore (and why that's okay) How to rebuild community when you no longer fit anywhere Practical steps for navigating this overlooked part of recovery If you've been struggling with chronic fatigue syndrome, ME/CFS, long covid, or similar conditions and feel lost after improvement, you're not alone. This identity shift is a normal part of the healing journey that deserves attention and compassion. Have you felt this identity confusion during your chronic illness recovery? What helped you navigate this transition? Timestamps: 00:43 The unspoken identity shift 05:40 Social disconnect and re-entry schock 11:11 The search for a new community 15:28 Rebuilding Identity Join the Release program to speed up your healing from ME/CFS, Chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, MCAS, Post-Vac and other chronic illnesses.

Through fascinating patient stories - like how a 20-year-old ankle injury can cause back pain 30 years later when left unchecked - Rick demonstrates how compensation patterns create chains of dysfunction throughout the body. We explore the science of myofibroblasts, specialized connective tissue that responds to stress hormones and provides a real, physical pathway for how emotional states manifest as tension in the body. This conversation challenges the false dichotomy of pain being "all physical" or "all mental" and offers hope for people who've been told "nothing's wrong" while living with very real symptoms.Resources mentioned:→ Rick's Youtube ChannelMEET DESTINY: Website / Instagram / BlueSky / YouTube / TikTokMEET GUEST: Website / Facebook→ READ THE BLOG FOR THIS EPISODEASK DESTINY ANYTHING→ Submit your questions hereFOR YOU, OUR PODCAST LISTENERS:JOIN DESTINY'S MEMBERSHIP - for folks with chronic pain & illness→ ⁠Join Welcome To The Waiting Room⁠ (ongoing support for staying regulated while living with chronic illness - This does not replace therapy, but it's a great addition to your regular therapy appointments)FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS:

Welcome back to The Integrative Health Podcast! In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Neil Nathan, MD—physician, teacher, and author with over 50 years of experience helping patients with complex chronic illness.We dive deep into the importance of finding and treating the root causes of illness rather than just masking symptoms. Dr. Nathan shares why listening to a patient's story is the most powerful diagnostic tool, and how conditions like mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) are often at the core of chronic health struggles.Dr. Nathan walks us through his staged treatment approach—starting with rebooting the limbic and vagal nervous systems, stabilizing mast cells, and then carefully addressing the underlying root cause.We also explore how COVID-19 can unmask hidden illness, why many patients feel unheard in conventional medicine, and how hope is the most powerful medicine of all.This is an eye-opening, compassionate conversation for anyone navigating chronic illness or supporting a loved one through it.PODCAST: Thank you for listening please subscribe and share!Shop supplements: https://healthybydrjen.shop/CHECK OUT a list of my Favorite products here: https://www.healthybydrjen.com/drjenfavoritesFOLLOW ME:Instagram :: https://www.instagram.com/integrativedrmom/Facebook :: https://www.facebook.com/integrativedrmomYouTube :: https://www.youtube.com/@integrativedrmomFTC: Some links included in this description might be affiliate links.

Modern Life Is Killing Us: Why Your Body Can't Keep Up | Karel Cast 25-118 Human bodies haven't changed in 100,000 years, but our world has. From the rise of agriculture just 10,000 years ago to nonstop modern stress, tech overload, and processed living, we're locked in an evolutionary mismatch—and it's making us sick. Obesity, depression, cancer, and anxiety aren't just random—they're signs our environment is outpacing our biology. Karel breaks down why life today feels like an uphill battle, how modern pressures are breaking us down physically and mentally, and most importantly: what you can do to protect your health and reclaim your time.

Heather McKean interviews Vicki Durfee who shares how addressing buried trauma unlocked profound changes in her body and life. After years of interstitial cystitis procedures every 3–4 months, chronic pain, and weight gain, Vicki discovered Mind Change, began with the book and a small group, and eventually flew to a private retreat during 2020. As she released shame and fear, her triggers calmed, her marriage came alive, and she shed 65 pounds without “dieting”—guided instead by self-worth.  If you've “tried everything,” wonder whether your symptoms are tied to old wounds, and are finally ready to choose yourself, this conversation offers a hopeful, practical roadmap for true healing.What we cover in this episode:

Impacting Indoor Air Quality From Mold and Mycotoxins:Scott introduces us to Seth Jones, CEO of Hygia Living Corp, to discuss the growing issue of toxicity in homes and businesses. Seth highlights that 66 million homes and 170 million people in the U.S. are affected by ongoing water damage and mold, leading to mycotoxin production. He shares his personal experience with building-related illness in Los Angeles and introduces Hygia products: a biodegradable cleaner for mycotoxins, a chlorine dioxide gas for decontamination, and an endurance coating to prevent mold growth on surfaces. Seth emphasizes the importance of personal accountability in creating healthier living environments. Your Co-Host Today:Seth Jones is the CEO of Hygia Living Corp., where he and his team developed Superstratum, the first patent-pending process to remove mycotoxins from homes. His work has focused on understanding the hidden causes of Building-Related Illness (BRI) and developing products and solutions to address these issues. Before founding Hygia Living, Seth spent 15 years as an international songwriter, producer, and DJ. However, a personal experience with BRI changed everything, leading to the creation of Superstratum. Now, Seth and Hygia Living are on a mission to heal the estimated 66 million homes in the U.S. that create toxic conditions leading to BRI. With 170 million people currently living in these homes, the Hygia Living mission to heal our homes has never been more important. Seth believes that our health can only rise to the level of our environment and that a pure, toxin-free environment is essential for the healing of the body, mind, and soul. Today's Top 3 Takeaways:Current statistics: 66 million homes and 170 million people affected by ongoing water damage issues. 47-48% of homes and office buildings in the US have ongoing water damage issues. The role of environmental toxins in chronic illness and the need for lifestyle changes to improve health.

Our Cleaners are specifically designed for Mycotoxins, and we've done research as well as published a white paper from that hard work. Let's not forget the other contaminants like the VOCs aka Voltaile Organic Compounds, that are present in our environments. That new construction smell, off-gassing from paints, carpets, caulks, sealants and much more are different. 29:25 – The chemist who developed it, he had worked at Sherwin Williams for many, many years in non-toxic craft paints and things. So he had a very unique chemistry knowledge. He moved to the mountains up in Georgia, and started getting algae growing on the side of his house. So he developed a long term mold resistant coating that would stick to vinyl and give him many years of resistance performance,40:00 – Today, a lot of kids are growing up in really toxic environments. It's affecting their cognitive development while impacting their learning disabilities. These mycotoxins have been linked to childhood autism as well. It was a blessing to be able to grow up and have access to outside and clean air. 54:15 – Final...

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I share my top five productivity tips for chronic illness, autism, and ADHD. Inspired by the many shortcomings of conventional productivity advice, particularly its lack of inclusivity for disabled, neurodivergent, and chronically ill individuals, I share strategies that can be adaptable for those who are autistic, ADHD, or spoonies. These tips range from energy management techniques to setting flexible goals and organizing your space effectively. I provide practical examples and emphasize the importance of customizing these tools to your needs while addressing the broader challenges posed by systemic issues and capitalism.If you liked what you heard, check out my episode on the ABC method of productivity and blog post on ways to consistently meet deadlines with chronic illness. Access a copy of my GSF Productivity resource bundle here. Get your free copy of my Grad School Femtoring Resource Kit here.Support our free resources with a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠one-time or monthly donation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.To download episode transcripts and access more resources, go to my website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://gradschoolfemtoring.com/podcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  This podcast is a proud member of the Atabey & Co.

In this episode of Business with Chronic Illness, I'm joined by Jason Winters, an energy alignment coach and EFT tapping practitioner, to talk about the warning signs that your business is built out of alignment, especially important for entrepreneurs managing chronic illness and unpredictable energy levels.Jason opens up about his experience with rapid business growth that felt unsustainable, from lowering his prices out of fear to over-delivering because of self-worth issues. He shares how he recognized these patterns as symptoms of deeper misalignment and the practical steps he took to restructure his business around what actually serves his life and energy.We dive into why entrepreneurs with chronic illness are particularly vulnerable to business burnout, the difference between fear (which is natural) and doubt (which comes from learned trauma responses), and Jason walks through his truth work method for clearing limiting beliefs that keep you stuck in exhausting cycles.By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with:A framework for recognizing misalignment - the specific signs that your business decisions are coming from fear instead of values, and why over-delivering often signals deeper issues.Practical tools for realignment - Jason's truth work technique for separating thoughts from feelings, plus how to check your decisions against your core values instead of external pressure.Permission to build differently - understanding why rest builds trust in your business and how to create systems that honor your natural capacity rather than fighting against it.Jason's story reminds us that sustainable business growth isn't about pushing harder; it's about building from a foundation that actually serves your energy and values from the start.Leave us a Review and share this episode with a friend.Send Me A Text & Share Your QA's or ThoughtsJoin The 5-Day Audio Series - Rooted Sales Products We Love + Special Guest Gifts → Want to support the show and treat yourself?

From $2,000 ADA seats to arenas telling disabled fans to “just show up and hope,” this story highlights how broken accessibility systems still are, even decades after the ADA.Cathy shares her personal experience as a fan with chronic illness and disability, the barriers that kept her from attending, and why accessibility advocacy is everyone's responsibility — not just the disabled community's.If you've ever struggled with chronic illness, disability, or the endless hoops of so-called “accommodations,” this one's for you.---

Dr. Ellen Langer joins Art to explore how uncertainty can be liberating rather than frightening. After losing 80% of her possessions in a house fire, Ellen discovered profound lessons about resilience and human kindness. Her groundbreaking research challenges everything we believe about aging - from the counterclockwise study that reversed aging markers in days to her work showing chronic illness doesn't mean uncontrollable. "One plus one doesn't always equal two," she explains, demonstrating how rigid thinking limits our choices. Ellen reveals why stress requires prediction and how mindfulness - simply noticing new things - can transform our health, relationships, and approach to life transitions. A master class in living with curiosity rather than certainty.Dr. Ellen Langer was the first woman to be tenured in psychology at Harvard, where she remains a professor of psychology today. Known worldwide as the "mother of mindfulness" and "mother of positive psychology," she has published over 200 research articles and thirteen books, including the international bestseller Mindfulness and her latest work, The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health. Her groundbreaking research on mind-body unity and the psychology of aging has earned her three Distinguished Scientist awards, the Arthur W. Staats Award for Unifying Psychology, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Liberty Science Genius Award. She is also a gallery-exhibiting painter living in Cambridge, Massachusetts.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week. Art has been through hundreds of transitions in his life. Many have been difficult, but all have led to a depth and richness he could never have imagined. On the podcast Art explores how to create more love and joy in life, no matter what transitions we go through.

Have you had symptoms return after stopping Lyme treatment? Share your story below. Your experience may help someone else navigating the same difficult decision.SummaryOne of the most frequent questions in Lyme care is: “If I feel better, should I stop treatment?” The answer is complicated. While no one wants to stay on antibiotics longer than necessary, stopping too soon often leads to relapse.Lyme disease is not a typical infection. Borrelia burgdorferi can persist by hiding in tissues, forming biofilms, and shifting into alternate forms. When treatment ends prematurely, surviving bacteria may re-emerge, and symptoms such as brain fog, joint pain, fatigue, or neuropathy often return. Co-infections like Babesia or Bartonella add another layer, sometimes becoming more obvious once Lyme therapy is withdrawn.Guidelines remain divided. IDSA discourages extended therapy, while ILADS—where I helped author the 2004 and 2014 guidelines—supports individualized, carefully monitored treatment when patients remain ill. The key is shared decision-making, weighing risks and benefits, and avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach.The goal is not indefinite treatment, but the minimum effective therapy that allows patients to heal and reclaim their lives. The takeaway is simple: stopping Lyme treatment too soon often means starting over. Recovery is about staying better tomorrow—not just feeling better today.

Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will learn about breakthrough therapies for chronic illness recovery including EBOO and TPE. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Tami Lyday.  Tami Lyday, DO, MS has been a physician since 2006 and a functional and integrative specialist since 2017.  Prior to that, she spent 11 years as a family practitioner but was never quite satisfied with conventional medical approaches.  Her mother's illness and subsequent side effects of traditional treatments prompted her to learn more about integrative medicine, and she has not looked back.  Dr. Lyday believes functional and integrative medicine is the best way to ensure lasting recovery as it helps patients determine the root of their health issues and does not rely on medications that treat symptoms while ignoring the underlying causes of illness.  She pursued training and certifications in functional and integrative medicine, including specialty training and certifications in the treatment of mold-related illnesses and Lyme disease. At the time of her certification, she was one of only 26 practitioners in the world who were Shoemaker certified in mold treatment protocols.  After 4 years as a functional and integrative medical practitioner, she opened The Lyday Center to provide a dedicated resource for people who are suffering from mystery illnesses and ailments that don't respond to conventional treatment and are seeking natural solutions to their chronic illnesses.  Since that time, she has expanded her specialties to include the treatment of thyroid disorders and overall energy levels.  Her mission is to heal the world one patient at a time. Key Takeaways: How much does environmental toxicity contribute to chronic illness? How is a patient tested for mold illness? What binders are most commonly used for detoxification?  Do natural binders have a place? What is the role of Actinobacteria and endotoxins in CIRS patients? Can a patient have fungal colonization and potentially benefit from antifungals? Does treating mold also treat Lyme and coinfections? How important is working on the limbic system to set the stage for healing? How might EBOO and TPE support those with autoimmunity? Where in a recovery timeline do EBOO and TPE best fit? Does Hashimoto's occur without mold? What is the role of EBOO?  What is the EBOO process? What is done before and after EBOO to support the patient? Can patients have detoxification or Herxheimer reactions after EBOO or TPE? How might EBOO and TPE help those with Long COVID? What types of infections might EBOO support? What is the role of TPE?  What is the TPE process? What types of toxicants and toxins can be filtered out? How is the removed plasma replaced Might beneficial materials be removed with TPE? Can EBOO or TPE help those with neurodegenerative conditions?

Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow is thrilled to welcome back returning guest, Dominique Gates, who bravely shares her personal experiences living with ulcerative colitis, a chronic illness she was diagnosed with at just 17 years old. Ulcerative colitis is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that leads to inflammation and painful sores in the lining of the large intestine and rectum, causing a range of symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue that can significantly disrupt daily life.Dominique opens up about the deep impact this condition has had on her everyday routine. She candidly discusses the frequent trips to the restroom that have become a normal part of her life and the emotional challenges that accompany them, including feelings of embarrassment and isolation. Throughout her journey, Dominique emphasizes the critical role mental health plays in managing her illness and shares how her faith and spirituality have provided her with strength during tough times.For many years, Dominique relied on a substantial amount of medication to control her symptoms. However, she made a courageous leap of faith by deciding to stop using these medications. Instead, she focused on making significant lifestyle changes, particularly with her diet, transitioning to a pescatarian diet and eliminating dairy products.

Sophie Sargent walked into the studio already owning the mic. A pandemic-era media rebel raised in New Hampshire, trained in Homeland Security (yep), and shaped by rejection, she's built a career out of DM'ing her way into rooms and then owning them. At 25, she's juggling chronic illness, chronic overachievement, and a generation that gets dismissed before it even speaks.We talk Lyme disease, Lyme denial, and the healthcare gaslighting that comes when you “look fine” but your body says otherwise. We dive into rejection as a career accelerant, mental health as content porn, and what it means to chase purpose without sacrificing identity. Sophie's a former morning radio host, country music interviewer, and Boston-based creator with a real voice—and she uses it.No fake podcast voice. No daddy-daughter moment. Just two loudmouths from different planets figuring out what it means to be seen, believed, and taken seriously in a system designed to do the opposite.Spoiler: She's smarter than I was at 25. And she'll probably be your boss someday.RELATED LINKSSophie on InstagramSophie on YouTubeSophie on LinkedInMedium article: “Redefining Rejection”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What happens when you hand a mic to the most extroverted, uncensored Gen Z career coach in New York? You get Olivia Battinelli—adjunct professor, student advisor, mentor, speaker, and unfiltered truth-teller on everything from invisible illness to resume crimes.We talked about growing up Jewish-Italian in Westchester, surviving the Big Four's corporate Kool-Aid, and quitting a job after 7 months because the shower goals weren't working out. She runs NYU Steinhardt's internship program by day, roasts Takis and “rate my professor” trolls by night, and somehow makes room for maple syrup takes, career coaching, and a boyfriend named Dom who sounds like a supporting character from The Sopranos.She teaches kids how to talk to humans. She's allergic to BS. And she might be the most Alexis Rose-meets-Maeve Wiley-mashup ever dropped into your feed. Welcome to her first podcast interview. It's pure gold.RELATED LINKS:Olivia Battinelli on LinkedInOlivia's Liv It Up Coaching WebsiteOlivia on InstagramNYU Steinhardt Faculty PageFEEDBACK:Like this episode?

Marc talks about what it means to build tools instead of just complaining, what Long COVID has done to his body and his patience, and why the illusion of “choice” in healthcare is a luxury most patients don't have.This conversation doesn't ask for empathy.
