Welcome to Designing the Best YOU! Hosted by Vennessa McConkey, sought-after chronic illness consultant, certified functional nutrition coach, author, and the CEO of Vennessa McConkey Coaching, where we educate and empower women to take control of their fatigue and pain during the in-between moments, while confidently owning their journey so they can live a vibrant life with chronic illness and autoimmune diseases. This podcast explores new concepts with autoimmune diseases and chronic illness, combining personal stories and experiences, with guest expert teachings on nutrition, digestion, stress management, sleep, what to ask your doctors, root cause troubleshooting, and more. Vennessa is determined to provide women with hope for the in-between moments because daily living with chronic illness completely changes your life but no one talks about it. It's so easy to feel that you are the only one struggling - but now you are not alone! As a mom of three young boys living with three autoimmune conditions, Vennessa knows exactly how it feels to lose your old self and life and is here to share how she learned to cope with many changes autoimmune diseases and chronic illness brings and all those other things your doctor doesn't tell you. Life is hard, but living with chronic illnesses doesn't have to be. It's time to take control of YOUR life and design the best YOU that this world so desperately needs!
