EVEN MORE about this episode!

Is your body holding onto emotional pain that's keeping you sick? Join us for a powerful conversation with chronic illness coach and functional medicine expert Danielle Pashko as we uncover how unresolved emotions can sabotage healing. Danielle shares her groundbreaking “Soul Hacking” method—an emotional and spiritual approach to chronic illness—and reveals how rebalancing the nervous system is key to recovery from conditions like Lyme disease and autoimmune disorders.

We explore ancient healing practices like Tai Chi, Qigong, and grounding to calm the body and restore energy, as well as eye-opening truths about “healthy” foods that may be hurting more than helping. From personalized nutrition to EMF detox, this episode offers practical tools and fresh insight into chronic illness, fatigue, and emotional healing. If you're ready to move beyond the lab tests and reconnect with your body on a soul-deep level, this is the episode for you.

Guest Biography:

Danielle Pashko is a Functional Nutritionist and Chronic Illness Coach with 20 years of experience specializing in immune health, digestive issues, weight loss, women’s health, children’s nutrition, Lyme Disease, and Long COVID. Her deep understanding of nutrition and functional medicine took a powerful turn when she personally battled Chronic Lyme and Long COVID—challenges that conventional methods couldn't fully resolve.

Her true healing came through internal martial arts like Tai Chi, Qigong, and Wing Chun Kung Fu, which helped her rebuild strength and vitality from within. Now, she combines these ancient practices with modern wellness strategies to guide others through chronic illness recovery. A sought-after expert featured in outlets like USA Today, Reader’s Digest, and ABC News, Danielle is also the author of Weight Loss Mistakes Even Healthy Chicks Make and Smile at Your Challenges.
