.DrSomedayMaybe is determined to promote fitness for all body types.
In 2009 I was very sick—vomiting for weeks straight at times and frequently being admitted to the hospital. I was a medical mystery for years. I would get so sick I’d be in the hospital for weeks vomiting and nobody knew why. I went through college at the University of Florida as a registered disabled student. I thought that was going to be my life.
In 2016, I just started applying to medical school and I looked at my mom and said, “I can’t live like this.” That’s when I was finally diagnosed with Addison’s disease, after really pushing my doctors to look for a better answer. They ordered one blood test and my cortisol levels came back as undetectable. I will be dependent on steroids for the rest of my life.
But that has never stopped me. I did marching band at the University of Florida, and I was also on the sailing team. I call myself an endurance athlete.. We started in Baltimore, and we ended in Seattle. And in the summer of 2020, I swam the coastline of Marco Island, six and a half miles, and I did that in three hours and eight minutes. I love open water
. I like grand undertakings. I’m a go-big or go-home person. And I’m also not the “typical” picture of fitness.
