What happens when the body suddenly stops cooperating with the life you've carefully built?
In this conversation, we explore a woman’s journey from artist to patient advocate, the lessons learned while living with epilepsy, the importance of caring for and listening to our bodies, and what it means to seek care in a health system focused on profit.
Today's guest, Holly Eckert, grew up in a small mountain town in Idaho and discovered her Love for dance in childhood.
Healthy, strong, and thriving into her mid-thirties, Holly's life took an unexpected turn when she began experiencing uncontrollable seizures. Epilepsy quickly disrupted everything she thought she knew about her body, her future, and the healthcare system she depended on for answers.
What followed was not only a search for healing but also a deep investigation into the strengths and shortcomings of modern medicine in the United States.
Determined to share what she learned, Holly transformed her experience into a powerful memoir, SEIZED: Searching for Health in the United States. This was one of the most beautiful conversations I've had so far, in 3 years of podcasting. Enjoy!
