About this listen
Giselle shares her journey with Cushing syndrome, a rare and often misunderstood condition caused by an overproduction of cortisol. For years, Giselle’s symptoms were dismissed by doctors as lifestyle-related issues, despite her insistence that something deeper was wrong. She describes the frustration of being unheard, the relief of finally receiving a diagnosis, and the resilience it took to advocate for herself. Giselle’s story is not only about overcoming medical challenges but also about learning to trust her intuition, seek second opinions, and embrace recovery with hope and gratitude. Her message is one of strength, persistence, and encouragement for others who may be questioning their own health.
The song that Giselle chose is Rise Up by Andra Day.
