Check out Allie Chandler’s Bio:
Allie Chandler is the founder of Upsell Health, where she helps functional medicine practitioners and wellness brands scale to $2-10M+ through marketing that feels as natural as the healing they provide. Her approach? Data-driven strategies delivered with heart, creating connections that convert without feeling salesy.
Her path into wellness marketing began in 2013 while teaching high school creative writing, when a trip to Europe led to sudden illness in Amsterdam. This began an eight-year health journey with chronic Lyme disease, mold toxicity, and “normal” test results despite severe symptoms. She experienced being bedbound, major weight loss, and complex protocols, giving her deep insight into what patients need in healing.
Today, she runs Upsell Health and teaches her Practitioner Archetype Framework, helping healers grow thriving practices without losing authenticity or burnout.

Hi there! I am Jane Hogan, the Wellness Engineer, and the host of Wellness By Design. I spent 30 years designing foundations for buildings until the pain and inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis led me to hang up my hard hat and follow my heart. Now I blend my backgrounds in science and spirituality to teach people how to tap into the power of their mind, body and soul. I help them release pain naturally so they can become the best version of themselves.
Wellness By Design is a show dedicated to helping people achieve wellness, not by reacting to the world around them but by intentionally designing a life based on what their own body needs. In this show, we explore practices, methods, and scientific principles that help naturally relieve pain and inflammation.
