What it is like to live inside symptoms and why having a health coach changes the outcome If you have ever walked out of a doctor’s office with normal lab results and a sinking feeling in your stomach, you are not alone. Most people do not struggle because they are ignoring their health. They struggle because they are trying to survive their symptoms while also being expected to describe them perfectly later. Fatigue does not happen on a schedule. Neither does pain, dizziness

Medicine is intended to support healing, clarity, and collaborative care. For many patients, however, the clinical encounter becomes a source of uncertainty when symptoms are dismissed as “anxiety” or treated as psychological without adequate evaluation. This article examines current research on misdiagnosis, diagnostic error, and the lived experience commonly described as “medical gaslighting.” The goal is to contextualize why these experiences occur, how they affect health

The struggle shows up on overloaded days. The days when your body is inflamed, your nervous system is on alert, or your schedule stacks decision after decision until your brain is done negotiating with you. On those days, the story many people are given is that they “fell off,” “lost motivation,” o

Most healthcare happens in minutes. A short appointment, a brief conversation, a new instruction, a handout, a patient portal follow up, and then life continues. But meaningful health change is not created inside those brief windows of time. It is shaped in the spaces between them. Real health change happens between doctor visits. It unfolds in daily routines, in moments of fatigue or stress, in caregiving roles, in grocery aisles, in commutes, in quiet evenings, and in morni
