The Secret to Chronic Illness Management: Chronius Care

This week on Calling in Sick, I sit down with Danielle Lazarowitz, founder of Chronius Care, a virtual healthcare service designed for chronic illness warriors by a chronic illness warrior. Danielle shares her powerful journey, from the struggles of searching for a diagnosis and managing debilitating symptoms to dealing with lackluster care. These experiences ultimately inspired her to reimagine healthcare for spoonies everywhere. We unpack why the current healthcare system often fails chronic illness patients and how Chronius Care is changing the game. The virtual platform gives each patient access to a primary care physician, patient coordinator, patient advocate and mental-health specialists. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit into the box that is the current medical system, this episode is for you. As always, sending love! xx, Alex Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Calling in Sick! 00:01:22 Alex’s Catch-Up 00:04:49 Alex’s Picks of the Week (Magic Minds & Mini-Gravity Blanket) 00:07:27 Why Chronius Care is on Calling in Sick 00:09:42 Welcome to Chronius Care! 00:10:22 Danielle’s Health Story — Symptoms, Diagnosis and Current Care Regimen 00:30:01 Danielle’s Thoughts on Chronic Illness’ impact to Grief, Identity and Mental Health 00:34:03 Finding Providers: Primary Care, Specialists and Mayo Clinic 00:36:25 The Creation of “Chronius Care” 00:47:04 What Does Chronius Care Offer? 00:53:19 What Does Being a Chronius Care Patient Look Like, and Do I Need a Formal Diagnosis? 01:05:51 Chronius Care’s Helping Patient’s Navigate the ER & Hospitalizations 01:10:31 Chronius Care’s Care Advocate Program 01:13:10 The Future of Chronius Care 01:21:13 Get In Touch 01:23:09 Thank you for listening! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Stay connected and follow social: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/callinginsickpod/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@callinginsickpod Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558234607568 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Powered by: Just Media House -- https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Produced by: Alexandra Wildeson — https://www.instagram.com/alexandrawildeson/ Episode Resources: Chronius Care: https://www.chronicillnesspcp.com/ Contact Chronius Care: hello@chroniushealth.com Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us Alex’s Picks of the Week: Magic Minds: https://www.magicmind.com/CALLINGINSICK20 Weighted Lap Blanket: https://go.shopmy.us/p-11988412 #chronicillnesssupport #livingwithautoimmunedisease #healthandwellness #podcast #podcastclips #chronicillnessidentity #chronicillnessmanagement #chroniuscare Learn more about your ad choices.
