If you suspect a thyroid issue, this episode is your next step.

    From Bedbound to Fully Alive: Nervous System Regulation, Lyme, and POTS with Allie Chandler

    Allie Chandler once couldn't get out of bed. Living with Lyme disease and POTS, her nervous system was in a constant state of survival—leaving her exhausted, dysregulated, and disconnected from the life she wanted. Traditional approaches focused on symptoms, but nothing truly addressed the root of what was keeping her body stuck. In this episode, Allie shares how nervous system regulation became the missing piece in her healing journey—and how it helped her go from bedbound to 98% cured. Today, Allie runs multiple successful businesses, travels freely, and lives a full, vibrant life she once thought was impossible. We talk about: Why chronic illness is often a nervous system issue, not just a physical one How Lyme and POTS keep the body trapped in fight-or-flight The turning point that allowed her body to finally feel safe enough to heal What nervous system regulation actually looks like in real life Hope for anyone who feels stuck, exhausted, or "too far gone" to heal If you're dealing with chronic illness, fatigue, dysautonomia, or feel like your body is constantly on edge—this conversation will change how you think about healing. Allie Chandler is a strategist specializing in functional medicine and wellness brands. After her own healing journey from chronic Lyme disease, mold toxicity, and parasites transformed her from bedbound to thriving, she discovered her passion for helping practitioners share their healing gifts with the world. With over 11 years of experience, Allie has held executive positions at industry giants including CellCore Biosciences, Microbiome Labs, and Novozymes OneHealth. She's scaled supplement companies to $60-100M in revenue, launched 21+ products, and generated $1.3M/month in Amazon sales. Holding a Master's in Writing from California College of the Arts and certification as a Lyme Specialist from Trinity College of Natural Health, Allie bridges the gap between scientific expertise and compelling storytelling.

    The Hidden Dangers of Popular Autoimmune Diets (And Why "Healing" Isn't One-Size-Fits-All)

    Autoimmune diets are often marketed as the ultimate path to healing—but what happens when they actually make symptoms worse? In this solo episode, I unpack the hidden dangers of popular autoimmune diets, including nutrient deficiencies, metabolic stress, food fear, and burnout. We'll talk about why what works for one body can backfire for another, how restrictive eating can disrupt hormones and energy, and what to consider before jumping into the next "miracle" protocol.

  4. What Is a Pain Coach? Why Chronic Pain Doesn't Improve with More Treatments Alone

    What Is a Pain Coach? Why Chronic Pain Doesn't Improve with More Treatments Alone

    If you've tried everything for chronic pain and still feel stuck, this conversation may change how you think about healing. In this episode, I sit down with Alex Crowther to answer a question many people are quietly asking: what is a pain coach, and how is this different from traditional pain management? Alex explains how pain coaching helps people move beyond symptom-chasing and into true nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and long-term relief. We explore why pain often persists even after surgeries, medications, or physical therapy—and what's actually missing from the conversation. You'll learn: What a pain coach does (and doesn't do) Why chronic pain is not "just physical" How mindset, safety, and the nervous system influence pain Who pain coaching is for—and who benefits most Why more treatments don't always equal more healing If you live with chronic pain, autoimmune symptoms, or unexplained discomfort and feel dismissed or exhausted by the medical system, this episode offers clarity, validation, and hope. 🎧 Listen in to discover what a pain coach really is—and why this approach is helping people reclaim their lives when nothing else has worked. For more than three decades, Alex Crowther built a global career as an advertising executive, leading billion-dollar accounts, managing international teams, and operating at the highest levels of corporate life. His world revolved around performance, pressure, and achievement. Success was measured in results, and for years he lived entirely in that rhythm of constant motion. Everything changed when chronic pain entered his life. What began as a physical injury spiraled into years of relentless pain that no doctor, medication, or procedure could resolve. Eventually diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, often called "the suicide disease," Alex was forced to confront the limits of his own endurance. The experience dismantled the identity he had built and brought him face-to-face with the question of what truly matters. Rather than succumb, Alex made a decision: if pain was going to stay, it had to have a purpose. That moment marked the beginning of his transformation. He began studying the neuroscience of pain, the psychology of healing, and the power of human connection. He became a Reiki Master and an initiated Shaman, blending science and spirituality to understand how the mind, body, and spirit interact in healing. Today, Alex serves as the CEO of Pain Coach Academy, the world's premier training organization for board-certified pain coaches. He leads a movement to redefine how society understands and treats chronic pain, empowering both individuals and professionals to help others calm the nervous system, retrain the brain, and rebuild lives of meaning. His upcoming book, Reframing Pain: Understanding Pain in Everyday Terms, captures this work. It explains how pain is created and sustained by the brain, and how awareness, education, and compassion can quiet it.  Through his leadership, writing, and speaking, Alex's mission is simple yet profound: to reduce needless suffering and show that purpose is more powerful than pain. In doing so, his goal is to train 10,000 coaches and help in excess of a million people living with complicated pain. https://www.paincoachacademy.com Schedule a 1 hour pick my brain session to get personalized help and resources. https://tidycal.com/annalaurabrown/coaching-session My youtube channel with videos of this podcast and more. https://youtube.com/c/annalaurabrownhealthcoach Check out my essential oils membership and coaching and schedule a free consultation. http://essentialwellnesscircle.com Request a free foundations of wellness kit: https://forms.gle/jBoGuUSNJebET77B6 Watch my free 3 steps to an autoimmune energy reset: https://annalaurabrown.com/autoimmune-energy-webinar/

  6. Why AI Might Replace Your Doctor (And Why That Terrifies the Healthcare System)

    12/22/2025

    Why AI Might Replace Your Doctor (And Why That Terrifies the Healthcare System)

    What if the biggest problem in healthcare isn't technology—but the system itself?  In this episode, AnnaLaura Brown sits down with Hunter Ziesing, founder of Longevity Health, to explore why modern healthcare waits far too long to act—and how AI could radically change that. Motivated by personal loss, preventable disease, and firsthand experience with autoimmune conditions, Hunter shares why prevention is missing from medicine and how data-driven care could help people live longer, healthier lives. We discuss: Why the current healthcare system fails at prevention How AI could diagnose disease faster than traditional doctors, The controversial idea that AI could replace primary care physicians within five years Longevity Health's $11,000 concierge "billionaire bundle" — and their upcoming AI-driven $1,000/year alternative How secure, patient-owned data and a voice-based AI agent could personalize care Why behavioral change—not information—is the real key to better health.  This conversation challenges long-held beliefs about doctors, diagnostics, and who should control your health data. Whether you're managing autoimmunity, frustrated with the medical system, or curious about the future of healthcare, this episode will make you rethink what "care" really means.  ⚠️ Important note: we also discuss the ethical, regulatory, and privacy concerns of AI in healthcare—and why human oversight still matters. Hunter Ziesing is the founder of Longevity Health, a physician-led, data-driven healthcare company focused on prevention and extending healthy lifespan. After spending two decades on Wall Street covering healthcare and technology, Hunter left finance following personal losses from largely preventable disease—including cancer and a rare autoimmune condition in his family. His work now centers on using advanced diagnostics, AI, and personalized data to detect disease earlier, change behavior, and reduce long-term healthcare costs. Through Longevity Health, he is building both a high-touch concierge longevity program and a scalable AI-driven platform designed to make preventive care more accessible and affordable worldwide.

    Thyroid Supplements: Helpful Support or Hidden Problem?

    If you've ever stood in the supplement aisle (or scrolled online) wondering which thyroid supplement is the "right" one—this episode is for you. In this solo episode, I'm breaking down the truth about thyroid supplements—what they can support, what they can't fix, and why more pills don't always mean better thyroid health. We'll talk about the common supplements marketed to women with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism, the mistakes I see over and over, and how supplements can sometimes mask deeper imbalances instead of healing them. You'll learn: Why thyroid supplements aren't one-size-fits-all The difference between supporting the thyroid and overstimulating it When supplements can actually make symptoms worse What to focus on before adding another bottle to your routine This episode is about stepping out of supplement confusion and into clarity, calm, and informed choices—so you can support your thyroid without burning out your body or your wallet.
