It's funny, raw, and wildly relatable.Whether you're navigating your own healing journey or just need a good laugh, this episode reminds us that wellness isn’t just about green juice—it's about truth, humor, and living on your own terms.Thank you to our sponsorsGenova Diagnostics: https://www.gdx.net/Oxyhealth: https://www.oxyhealth.com/Rani Lounge: https://ranilounge.com/Koala Eco: https://koala.eco/What We Discuss:00:00 Introduction00:42 Chelsea’s Emotional Evolution05:10 Losing Her Brother & How Grief Shaped Her09:18 Therapy, Trauma & Humor14:40 Why Chelsea Thinks She’s Basically a Doctor19:15 Aging Without Children23:50 Her Rules for Living Honestly32:02 The Medicine of Showing Up38:15 What She Prescribes to Her Friends (Illegally)42:20 Heartbreak & Healing47:35 The Gift of Doing the Work51:00 Sneak Peek at Her New Book54:10 What Chelsea Wants Women to KnowFollow Chelsea:Instagram: @chelseahandlerWebsite: www.chelseahandler.comFollow Dr. Nigma:Instagram: @drnigmatalibPodcast Instagram: @thehealthydocpodFacebook: nigma.talibWebsite: www.healthydoc.comThe HealthyDoc Podcast — Science, humor, and healing from the inside out.
