Living Well with Chronic Illness: Tools That Support Strength and Healing

Chronic Illness, Nervous System, Functional Nutritionist

In this episode, Rachael shares how she began living well with chronic illness by shifting from conventional treatments to a holistic approach rooted in nervous system support, nutrition, and mindset. Her journey offers practical tools and encouragement for anyone ready to move beyond survival and start building strength, resilience, and hope.

About Rachael Green

Rachael Green is a blogger passionate about health, nutrition, and nervous system regulation. She shares her chronic illness recovery story to encourage others on similar journeys. For years, she was debilitated by severe pain, fatigue, and neurological symptoms, and was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, chronic Lyme disease, dysautonomia, Chiari malformation, gastroparesis, and more. At her worst, she was essentially bed-bound and barely surviving. Through brain retraining, nervous system regulation, animal-based nutrition, and other supportive tools, she found a path to healing. Now able to work, travel, hike, and rock climb, Rachael is committed to sharing a message of hope for those living with chronic illness.

In this episode, we chat about:

  • Why chronic illness often requires more than conventional treatment
  • How regulating your nervous system can reduce symptoms
  • The role of brain retraining programs like DNRS, GUTA, and Primal Trust
  • Why an animal-based diet worked when others didn’t
  • How fear-based support groups can stall progress—and what to do instead
  • Why mindset shifts are essential for creating space for healing
  • How celebrating small wins can build confidence and momentum during recovery
