202: Pinky Uttayaya-Andrews Empowers Veterans and Spouses Against Chronic Pain Through Holistic Wellness

Also available on Youtube: https://youtu.be/TL_bJay3DFo

Are you able to recognize chronic pain or discomfort in your life? If so, what steps have you taken to manage it more effectively? For Pinky Uttayaya-Andrews, her desire to help others began after seeing her husband, a Marine Corps veteran, struggle with chronic pain and PTSD.

Pinky (a.k.a. "Coach P") founded Zenergy Health and Performance and created the proven 7-pillar system to help veterans and the military community overcome physical and invisible wounds through a holistic approach. Her approach encompasses mindset, physical well-being, nutrition, stress management, sleep management, recovery, and social well-being. She draws her knowledge from veterinary medicine to understand and explain medical issues to her clients. She finds her work rewarding, especially when she sees her clients regain their mobility and improve their quality of life.

Listen to Pinky's passion for making a significant impact on the quality of life for veterans and the military community!
