About My Guest:

CEO and founder of The Mighty a platform in which people can write about their own experience with health-related issues.

Bio:

Emily Levy is an award-winning social impact entrepreneur and patient advocate through her work as the CEO and Co-Founder of Mighty Well. Mighty Well creates innovative products in the emerging Adaptive Wear market that is focusing on inclusivity in the chronic illness and disability communities which affect 1 in 3 Americans. As patients and caregivers ourselves, we apply sportswear fabric technology to the medical industry and building a digital supportive community of Friends in the Fight for our consumers. Levy and the team are leading the global charge of helping patients and caregivers turn sickness into strength with the vision of Mighty Well being the Under Armour of Health Care.

While Emily does love speaking and inspiring health care professionals, she loves her husband, Yousef, and dog, Olive, more. Together, they live in New York City.

Key Takeaways:

  • It took 7 years to get an accurate diagnosis of Lyme disease and co-infections. After getting sick in 7th grade I couldn’t finish that year of school.
  • When showering hurts. Instead of being an athlete and playing three sports, I could barely walk to class.
  • Chronic pain, light sensitivities, extreme fatigue became part of everyday living.
  • Mighty Well the company came from an entrepreneurial upbringing.
  • I think of patients as athletes.
  • “I love my life, but I wouldn’t wish it on anyone”-Jessica Donaldson
  • Learn to use your voice to help others.
  • Sometimes your health has to come first. Maybe I need to take a few days off, but I’ll be back.
  • Created Mighty Pack Backpack for easy IV infusions as well as an antimicrobial PICC line cover sleeve.
