Today, 7/10 is Chronic Disease Awareness Day
7 of 10 deaths can be attributed to chronic disease – 7 in 10!
The CDC says that 6 in 10 of us have a chronic condition in 4 in 10 of us have two or more.
These are staggering statistics.  Many of our conditions can be improved or prevented with lifestyle changes.  We can shift our quality of life by: stop smoking, reducing alcohol, cleaning up our diet, getting better sleep, and exercising.  
What are you committed to doing for your health?  
Today is a great opportunity to initiate conversations and begin making changes to improve your health.

Episode 266: The Laws Of Attraction

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.
