18. Chronic Health Conditions and Navigating The U.S. Medical Industrial Complex with Lilly King

In this beautiful intimate conversation with Lilly King, we discuss  the realities of navigating mental and physical health concerns within a fractured health care system in the U.S. We share our best tips for advocating for yourself, navigating the medical industrial complex, talking to doctors, and building a care team.  Lilly’s work is largely interdisciplinary. She loves chatting with people about nutrition, health advocacy and how to navigate US healthcare. Her diagnosis of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome has further ignited her desire to help people work around the many roadblocks in privatized healthcare.
