How are daily habits shaping (or sabotaging) your long-term health outcomes?

In this episode, you’re invited to think about health the same way you think about wealth—something that compounds through daily decisions, not last-minute fixes. Also, Suneera’s guest, Nathalie Jorge, shares why chronic stress, burnout, and disease are often decades in the making, and how functional medicine addresses what traditional systems miss.

Nathalie Jorge is the CEO of Companion Health and a healthcare innovator focused on preventative, functional medicine. With decades of entrepreneurial experience, she helps individuals reclaim agency over their health through personalized, root-cause care.

What you’ll learn in this episode:
