What happens when life hands you a diagnosis you never expected? In this powerful episode of PCOS Unfiltered, I sit down with Sam, a former coaching client who, at just 29, suffered a stroke and faced the reality of living with multiple health issues and medications. But instead of accepting that as her permanent future, Sam chose something different: she chose to fight for herself. Sam shares how she went from struggling with stroke recovery, heart surgery, and overwhelming medications to reclaiming her health through mindful eating, nervous system regulation, and a compassionate, realistic coaching approach. Though she doesn’t have PCOS, Sam’s story resonates with anyone who’s ever wondered if change is still possible after a scary diagnosis. From losing 60 pounds to reversing years of unhealthy habits and becoming an advocate for wellness in her community, Sam’s journey is living proof: it’s never too late to take back your health — or your life.
