About the guest: Sue McKinley is a systems health strategist who applies systems thinking to one of society's fastest-growing challenges: modern chronic illness. After more than two decades helping organizations solve complex problems, Sue began asking those same questions about health when her youngest son became seriously ill. That journey led her to work with more than 100 families navigating modern chronic illness, where she recognized that many seemingly different conditions follow common underlying patterns. Her work explores a simple but powerful premise: building health isn't separate from fighting disease - it's an essential part of it. Today, Sue leads the Wellness System Listening Project, interviewing leaders across healthcare, public health, business, education, and integrative medicine to explore how health is actually created. Her work invites audiences to imagine a complementary systemone that not only fights disease, but intentionally builds health so people are better able to prevent illness, recover when it occurs, and thrive throughout their lives.
