Andrea J. Burns

Founder, Researcher, Health Educator & Consultant

Andrea J. Burns is the founder of Chronic Health, LLC, a health education and consulting company built on the belief that health is best understood as an interconnected ecosystem rather than a collection of disconnected symptoms.

She is the creator of the Personal Ecosystem Framework, a multi-dimensional model that examines how microbiome, nutrition, environment, physical structure, behavior, genetics, and social-emotional wellbeing interact to shape long-term health outcomes. This framework forms the foundation of the Personal Ecosystem Scan, a self-assessment tool she developed to help people identify which areas of their personal ecosystem may be contributing to chronic health challenges and details the very first step to take.

Andrea holds a master's degree and has spent over 25 years translating complicated information into easy-to-understand concepts. She is a former Research Director who is also a Certified Hypnotherapist, Certified Holistic Health Coach, Certified Fitness Coach, Certified AI Professional, Certified Precision Nutrition Coach, and Certified Functional DNA Coach, creating a multidisciplinary foundation that informs every dimension of the Personal Ecosystem Framework.

Andrea is currently developing the Whole-Self Health book series, beginning with a guide to the microbiome that translates emerging research into clear, actionable guidance for everyday readers. She also writes regularly about chronic illness, body literacy, and the hidden connections between environment, behavior, and long-term health.

Andrea's mission is to help people stop seeing their bodies as broken and start understanding them as ecosystems that are always communicating, if you know how to listen.
