Today’s episode is a really special one, because I’m sitting down with a young woman named Allie—who actually found me on Instagram and reached out to share her story. And when I read her message, I was struck by how similar her journey was to mine.
Allie was young, healthy, and had no prior health conditions. But after getting sick, her health declined rapidly. Thankfully, her parents trusted their instincts and got her to the hospital just in the nick of time. That decision truly changed the course of her life.
Unlike my story, Allie didn’t end up needing mechanical support—but she did get very, very sick. And her experience is such an important reminder that viral myocarditis can be caused by so many different viruses, and it doesn’t discriminate. It can affect anyone, even when you least expect it.
I’m so grateful that Allie was willing to come on and share her journey so openly. Her story brings awareness, hope, and a powerful reminder to listen to your body and advocate for your health.
So today, I’m honored to introduce you to Allie, and I can’t wait for you to hear her story.
