Discover Health Podcast
As a Doctor of Chiropractic and health coach, I feel like my mission is to help moms struggling with chronic illness. We know how hard it can be for moms to feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and frustrated with the health care system because we lived it. My wife battled chronic Lyme, mold illness, EBV and more. After finding solutions that actually helped her go from using the walls for support just to walk through the house to now exercising and traveling with her family, we want to help other moms achieve their dream health goals too!
For exhausted Christian moms like you, this podcast will help you change your health trajectory with intentional, doable steps so you feel genuinely hopeful about your future instead of stuck in survival mode. If you keep listening for 6–12 months, you’ll get real, practical, and actionable advice from me and from experts who’ve either lived your struggles or walk closely with women just like you, so you can feel confident, supported, and guided toward better health.

She Survived a TBI & Became a Brain Injury Nurse — Here's What She Learned
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when the medical professional becomes the patient? Kelly Tuttle was a cardiology nurse practitioner when a car accident in 2015 gave her a traumatic brain injury that changed her life completely. Instead of accepting the limits she was handed, she fought her way back and turned everything she learned into a lifeline for others.
In this episode, Joshua and Kelly unpack the hidden realities of brain injury recovery that most doctors never tell you about. From neuro fatigue and sleep disruption to returning to work, protecting your finances, and finding hope when the road feels impossibly long.
