143: Why Putting Your Health First is Non-Negotiable (and How to Do It with a Chronic Condition)

Send us a text

Do you ever feel like you’re doing everything right—eating clean, taking supplements, going to functional medicine—but still running on empty?

In this episode of Get Your Energy Back, we’re talking about something that hits deep for women living with chronic conditions: putting your health first—not after the dishes are done, not after the kids are settled, not after everything else is handled.

Because here’s the truth:
 👉 You can’t do anything if you don’t have your health.
 👉 And you don’t have to earn your right to rest, joy, or peace.

If your body is constantly in survival mode, no amount of green smoothies or magnesium will fix it until you get to the root of what’s draining your energy.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why prioritizing your health isn’t selfish—it’s essential
• The #1 mistake women with chronic illness make when trying to feel better
• A 3-part framework to help you start reclaiming your energy today
• A guided rib breathing exercise to calm your nervous system and reset in real time
• Why simple steps aren’t enough—and what coaching can do to go deeper and make the change last
