Beyond Medicine: Coaching, Movement & Mindset in Chronic Disease

December 1, 2025

In this episode of Frontiers in Kidney Medicine and BioIntelligence, Len Usvyat, Head of Clinical Advanced Analytics at the Renal Research Institute, speaks with Ingrid Adelsberger, a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach who has lived with multiple sclerosis for more than 15 years.

Together, they explore the intersection of health coaching, exercise, and nutrition—and how these approaches can empower people with chronic conditions, including those with chronic kidney disease, to take active roles in their health.

Topics discussed:
• What health coaching really is—and how it differs from therapy or social work
• How small lifestyle changes lead to lasting improvements
• Nutrition and cultural context in kidney care
• Group coaching and the role of community support
• Technology, wearables, and AI in behavior change
