About the show
The Chronic Fighter is a podcast for teens and young adults navigating chronic illness, disability, life-changing health challenges, and unexplained symptoms who are ready to take their lives back.
Hosted by Liv Winkler, a health and nutrition coach with a BS in psychology and a lifetime of lived experience with chronic illness, this podcast is the space she wishes she had growing up. For years, she always felt so different, going through things no one could explain. Yet she learned how to live a meaningful life: going to school, playing competitive soccer through college, and staying connected to life by learning how to make intentional lifestyle choices.
Each episode shares empowering stories and practical tools to feel safe in your own body, build mental resilience, regulate your nervous system, navigate the healthcare system, advocate for yourself when you feel dismissed, and rediscover your purpose beyond your illness. We have honest conversations about the realities of chronic illness — the kind that are hard to fully understand unless you’ve lived it.
No matter where you are in your health journey, you can start building a life you are excited about now.
