Empowering people living with chronic illness through advocacy, education, and real-life strategies. I use my story and voice to push for better access, greater awareness, and care that truly supports us.

I’m Sally Figueroa, a health advocate, educator, and digital creator living with Type 1 Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis, along with Raynaud’s disease, chronic sinusitis, and the long-term impact of multiple surgeries. I also have deep personal experience supporting loved ones through amplified musculoskeletal pain syndrome (AMPS), Lyme disease, and endometriosis.
I use my platform to share real-world strategies, lived experience, and trusted resources to navigate chronic illness with more confidence, clarity, and self-compassion.
I also created Health Savings Expert — a resource hub to help people in the U.S. afford healthcare through real tools, programs, and shared experience. Find practical ways to lower costs, discover assistance programs, and learn from others who’ve been there.
