Registered nurse and wellness coach Amber Villarreal joins Bouncing Back to share a thoughtful, real-world approach to healing chronic illness. With more than two decades in healthcare, Amber explains why true wellness requires more than medication alone—and how stress, environment, gut health, and lifestyle choices play a critical role in inflammation and long-term health. This episode offers clarity, encouragement, and practical insight for anyone navigating autoimmune disease, burnout, or the desire for sustainable healing.
