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.
