There are two worlds in chronic illness. One world is the Not So Sick, and that world is defined by people who haven’t been totally exhausted from doctor shopping or trying everything interesting in the alternative health world while still keeping an optimistic approach. The Not So Sick still have a passion for managing their mild bloating, mild weight gain, mild acne, mild fatigue and so many other varieties of symptoms that don’t get completely in the way of their quality of life. It can be exciting trying another new trend to combat the mild intermittent complaints. And then there’s the sick, the chronically ill, the ones that have been to many conventional doctors and alternative doctors; they have been seasoned by experience and have seen so much in the health space. They’ve been in their darkest hour or are still in there now, struggling and feeling a loss of faith and hope. They’ve tried just about everything out there and know what keeps them going and what sends them backwards. The Not So Sick don’t know what it’s like to be on their hands and knees, praying to God because they don’t know if they are going to live or die today. It’s these two worlds that are so far apart, but at the same time collide with the new social media doctor that doesn’t want to work on people in the office anymore, or the influencer health gurus with very little experience who want quick glory for peddling bio hacks and shock and awe. In this intense, enlightening episode you will learn critical information on the new world around us that will help you navigate through the games, lies, manipulations, gaslighting and bullying of the chronically ill. In this episode… • Learn what the healing journey entails and what it takes to stay strong and keep the faith to heal. • Uncover the difference between new and old dietitians, and what new dietitians are doing differently that you need to know. • Discover what health coaches and nutritionists tell their clients and why that may not be the most sound advice for the chronically ill. • Learn how everyone out there seems to know what they’re talking about when it comes to health, how they all seem to be an expert and all have credentials, and how this overwhelm of dietitians, coaches, influencers and practitioners seems, at first glance, a great thing for all these newly sick individuals out there. • Discover how many years on the health scene some of these practitioners and coaches really have. • Learn what these health coaches are actually marketing to the chronically ill and how the coaches themselves may not be as healthy as they seem to be. • Learn how people who are sick can end up being “experiments” for these influencers. • Discover how dangerous it is to treat the health industry like other industries out there, such as fashion or design. • Learn how the chronically ill are becoming the funders of these health influencers who are living their best lives. All this and more, tune in and don’t miss out on this important episode. You can revisit this episode anytime you need it. For more information visit www.medicalmedium.com
