| If you’ve ever felt like healing your body is a full-time job, this week’s Health Fix Podcast episode is for you.I sat down with Mel Hopper Koppelman , a health strategist and deep thinker in the chronic illness space, to unpack what true healing really takes—beyond the supplements and symptom-chasing.We dive into:Why health creation is a lifelong journey, not a destinationHow internal family systems (IFS) and understanding your personality “parts” supports emotional and physical healingWhy order matters in your treatment plan (yes, diving right into methylation too soon can backfire!)How dissociation shows up in chronic illness—and what to do about itWhy your neurodevelopment has a key role in developing chronic illness as you get olderYou’ll also learn why: ✅ Exercise intolerance is a sign of deeper issues ✅ Nervous system health is the foundation for lasting change ✅ Most people aren’t failing—they’re just not using the right tools in the right order Now you might be thinking – what is the right order of healing? As far as many folks in the chronic illness and longevity space see it – it seems working on the immune and nervous system connection is step one to setting the stage for vitality. By this I mean – microbiome, gut health, liver function, and how the gut, brain and nervous system, yes, the Vagus Nerve, all communicate. Then from there other things like hormones and thyroid can be dialed in. The naturopathic and functional medicine industry have honed in on this phenomenon however, we’re still doing a lot more “band-aiding” of symptoms with supplements vs helping the body work to heal itself. This is where I’m hoping to inspire folks to invest in protocols and education on how to restore health vs take a supplement instead of a pharmaceutical medication to counter a symptom. Tomorrow I’ll be diving into what I’m seeing work to reboot the immune and nervous system for true health restoration.
