In this episode, we dive into the world of chronic health conditions, the leading cause of illness, disability, and death in America. We’ll start by defining what a chronic condition is, explore the most common conditions, and discuss their shared risk factors. Joining us is Jillian Bodden Hoenisch, a nurse practitioner from UW Health, who shares her insights on disparities in health outcomes and advice for managing life with a chronic condition. Tune in for practical tips, lifestyle strategies, and resources to empower those navigating the complexities of chronic health management.
