Manage episode 414044535 series 3569889
We have the privilege of sitting down with Krista Hernandez, a dedicated wellness coach who has triumphed over chronic illness and now empowers other women to do the same.
Krista shares her transformative journey, from the frustrations of seeking a proper diagnosis to the invaluable insights she's gained on the road to healing. At first, without even asking any questions, a doctor spent less than 5 minutes with Krista and gave her a diagnosis of Hashimoto's. Then a few minutes later changed it to PCOS... That was Krista's first experience that had her questioning things.
Alongside our hosts, Krista unpacks the importance of taking personal responsibility for our health, the impact of toxic relationships, and the significance of setting boundaries as we navigate our healing journeys.
Join us as we delve into the profound wisdom and experience that Krista offers, and discover the hope and resilience that echo through her empowering message.
