    Episode 12: Putting Chronic Disease Into Remission with Susan Amanda, MBA, RN

    Episode 12: Putting Chronic Disease Into Remission with Susan Amanda, MBA, RN Can chronic disease really be put into remission? In this episode of Built, Not Burnt Out, Melissa Petersen sits down with Susan Amanda, MBA, RN, a licensed nurse, Certified Food Addiction Professional through Joan Ifland's Addiction Reset Community (ARC), and leader of ARC's Chronic Disease Remission Group. Susan shares her personal journey from food addiction to recovery and explains why so many chronic illnesses are driven by metabolic dysfunction and food addiction rather than simply bad luck or aging. Together, Melissa and Susan discuss what it means to address the root causes of disease instead of merely managing symptoms. They explore the growing evidence that nutrition, food addiction recovery, metabolic health, and lifestyle change can help many people achieve remission from chronic diseases and reclaim their lives. Whether you're living with obesity, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, hypertension, chronic inflammation, autoimmune conditions, or simply want to understand why your body isn't healing, this episode offers practical insights and hope. • The connection between food addiction and chronic disease• Why metabolic health is foundational to healing• What "chronic disease remission" really means• Why treating root causes matters more than symptom management• How nutrition and lifestyle influence long-term health• The work Susan is doing through the Addiction Reset Community to help people restore their health Healing begins when we stop asking, "How do I manage this disease?" and start asking, "Why is my body struggling in the first place?" This episode is an invitation to think differently about chronic illness and discover that, for many people, remission is possible by addressing the underlying causes.

    What if the earliest signs of chronic disease are already visible—years before you ever feel sick? In this episode of Built, Not Burnt Out, Melissa Petersen sits down with Dr. Ana Rosa, a U.S. and Brazilian board-certified radiologist, physician educator, international speaker, and expert in metabolic health. Drawing from years of experience interpreting diagnostic imaging, Dr. Ana Rosa explains how medical imaging can reveal the hidden effects of metabolic dysfunction long before serious disease develops. We discuss visceral fat, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), pancreatic fat, sarcopenia, myosteatosis, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and why metabolic health impacts virtually every organ system. Beyond the science, Dr. Ana Rosa shares how gratitude, stress regulation, and sustainable behavior change are essential to lasting transformation. As a Certified High Performance Coach®, Jay Shetty Certified Coach, certified menopause educator, and grief educator, she offers practical strategies to help people build resilient minds, healthier bodies, and lives filled with purpose. Whether you're looking to prevent disease, improve your metabolic health, or simply understand what your body may be trying to tell you, this conversation is packed with practical insights and hope. • Why metabolic disease often develops silently for years• What imaging reveals about visceral fat and organ health• The connection between insulin resistance and chronic inflammation• How muscle loss (sarcopenia) affects long-term health• Why gratitude and mindset play an important role in healing• Practical lifestyle changes that support lifelong metabolic health FIND DR.
