Podcast Overview

Are you one of the millions living with a chronic illness or pain? Our diseases may be very different, but we have many of the same experiences, obstacles and frustrations. We are all working for a better quality of life knowing that pain and limitations will be our traveling companions. My name is Annette and I'm the host of Chronic Wellness, a brief, weekly, podcast where we talk about it all: sex, self-care, mental heath, loss of identity, anger, how to navigate health care and have less days that suck so hard. I have this belief that: If health is the absence of disease, and wellness is the presence of wholeness; whether or not I'm ever "healthy" again, I can work work toward my wellness, my wholeness. Curious? Join me where you listen to Podcasts, for a few moments of Chronic Wellness.

Episode 433: Scamanda and Apple Cider Vinegar - Scams that Damage Us with Chronic Conditions

Scamanda and Apple Cider Vinegar - Scams that Damage Us with Chronic Conditions. https://www.instagram.com/theannetteleonard or my website https://www.annetteleonard.com I tuned in to the podcast and now the TV versions of "Scamanda" and now the Netflix show "Apple Cider Vinegar." Here are examples of two young white women who lied about having terminal cancer and scammed people out of tens of thousands of dollars. In both cases they were discovered and prosecuted. I'm not here to relitigate Riley and Gibson. How do these kinds of scams harm the rest of us who do have chronic and/or terminal conditions? Since Watergate, have we ever trusted a president as much? What that means for those of us who are trying to get medical expenses covered by friends and family or getting meals donated, how much less likely are people to do that kind of thing because of people like Riley and Gibson? While we can't calculate that amount, it certainly factors in. There are different seeds of doubt now that people have been duped. Gibson said she overcame a glioblastoma with nutrition. She touted those changes in her app and book. That begs the question why are we willing to give our health decisions over to people who are not educated in medicine, health, nutrition? Because we are desperate. We're desperate for change, answers, and alternatives. When you see how corrupt big pharma is you wonder whether there's another way. And so we turn to these "experts" and their alluring Instagram photos. The more Riley's and Gibson's there are we all suffer when liars have a bigger platform. Check your sources. Find out what's actually true, not just what's buzzworthy. Have you watched these shows? What did you see or think when you watched? Do you have a sense of why their (and others like their) platforms are so popular? What do we do about the erosion of public trust? How do you decide who you trust in the health space? This is the Chronic Wellness Podcast. I'm Annette Leonard, speaker, coach, and sick person who believes that my illnesses do not define me. If health is the absence of disease and wellness is the presence of wholeness, then no matter what your disease status, we can work toward your wellness, your wholeness. Whether or not you are ever "healthy" on paper, you can be well. Join me and others on the path back to wholeness at AnnetteLeonard.com.

Episode 431: PROPER Maintenance Can SAVE Your Inogen Portable Oxygen Concentrator!

PROPER Maintenance Can SAVE Your Inogen Portable Oxygen Concentrator! Instagram https://www.instagram.com/theannetteleonard or website https://www.annetteleonard.com I recently traveled by plane which means using oxygen. The last time I used my Inogen, portable concentrator I got a message that said, "oxygen low." When I contacted companies to service my Inogen I learned that I could pay a lot to send in my model to be repaired, or I could pay a WHOLE lot to have lifetime service for my machine. These costs were too much for me. I continued to research what I as the user could do to maintain my machine -- from cleaning the filters to changing the columns. In so doing, I learned that my "oxygen low" message likely meant that I needed to change the columns. I purchased these online for about $100. Once they arrived I looked up a video on YouTube about how to change out the columns. Then, critically, you have to fiddle with the computer so the machine *knows* the columns have been replaced. Upon use, my machine worked great and the battery life was increased by more than four times! It was clear I needed new columns. These machines need routine maintenance (just like home oxygen concentrators) if they're being used regularly. **I have a new mini-course I'm finishing about how to unlock the power of your next doctor appointment*** the first 50 people get FREE enrollment.
