Written by CRNA, Functional Health Coach, and competitive athlete Kristina Morros, Get Healthy or Get Dead challenges conventional thinking about health and offers readers actionable strategies for building resilience in a world where chronic disease has become the norm.
After more than two decades in hospitals, operating rooms, trauma centers, and ICUs, I saw what happens when people wait for a health crisis to act.
Get Healthy or Get Dead is about acting sooner. It offers practical strategies for nutrition, movement, recovery, stress, and taking a more active role in your health—before a crisis makes the decision for you.

I'm a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, Functional Health Coach, author, and competitive paddle athlete who believes health is built through action—not handed to us by a healthcare system.
After more than twenty years working in hospitals, ICUs, trauma centers, and operating rooms, I saw both the power and the limitations of modern medicine. Today, I help people take greater ownership of their health with practical strategies for better energy, recovery, performance, and long-term well-being.
The same principles I teach—nutrition, movement, recovery, mindset, and accountability—are the ones I use every day, whether I'm coaching, writing, training, or racing.
My goal is simple: help you build better health so you can keep doing what you love for years to come.

Get Healthy or Get Dead provides the foundation for understanding the principles of better health, nutrition, recovery, and personal responsibility. At Paddle Performance Health, I help individuals put those principles into practice through personalized health coaching, functional health strategies, and performance-focused wellness programs.
Whether your goal is to improve energy, support healthy aging, optimize athletic performance, or build long-term resilience, coaching provides a structured approach tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Readers are challenged to look beyond symptom management and take a deeper look at the lifestyle, environmental, and metabolic factors influencing their health. The book provides a practical framework for building resilience in an increasingly unhealthy world.

The companion workbook was created to help readers put those ideas into practice. Through guided exercises, reflection prompts, health assessments, and action planning tools, the workbook transforms concepts into a personalized roadmap for change.
The conversation doesn't end when you finish the last page. Through coaching, writing, speaking, and community, my mission is to help people take ownership of their health and create lasting change.
If you'd like to connect, collaborate, or learn more about working together, I'm just a click away.
