Discover Health Podcast

Joshua Sharp, DC

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.
