Welcome to Designing the Best YOU! Hosted by Vennessa McConkey, board-certified holistic health practitioner, functional nutritionist and autoimmune and trauma survivor, Vennessa McConkey. Vennessa focuses on holistic health - educating and empowering people to take charge of their own fatigue and pain during the in-between moments of life, while confidently owning their own health journey. It’s so easy to feel like you are the only one struggling and boy, does Vennessa know! As a wife and mom of three young boys, whose body acted as if she had multiple autoimmune diseases because of the childhood trauma she endured, she knows what it is like to lose yourself and life. She is here to share how she learned to cope with the many changes disease brings and the things your doctor doesn’t know or tell you!
In her practice, Vennessa helps uncover the hidden stressors that are causing your body to be ill and correlates them to your life since birth. She believes in the TEST DON'T GUESS model - as so many health coaches and drs do.
Each week we will be focusing on the missing piece in the healing process from chronic conditions, typically hidden stressors which includes past trauma. The mind-body connection is VERY real. We include conversations on metabolic and individualized nutrition, lifestyle, autoimmune disease, stress reduction, the power of the nervous system and more!
We bring on guests who share their stories of overcoming trauma, managing their chronic conditions naturally, as well as hearing Vennessa’s story and tips from top practitioners and experts in the field of holistic health.
Get ready to be blown away by and start Designing the Best YOU that this world so desperately needs!
