"Unlock your inner strength and experience the power of resilience with a chronic illness journey that is truly iconic."
"My health may be chronic, but this ass is iconic."- Ambre Minty
Ambre Minty is a mum and chronic illness warrior, patient leader, feeding tube advocate, and Oley ambassador. She has been diagnosed with dysautonomia, gastropresis, Ehlers Danlos, colonic inertia, and eosinophilic esophagitis and has used IV fluids, feeding tubes, and TPN to manage her conditions.
Ambre Minty was living with a variety of medical conditions, struggling with extreme nausea and fatigue, and unable to eat properly. After three surgeries, discovering IV fluids, and needing a feeding tube, Botox saved the day and allowed her to eat again. With the help of her family and friends, Ambre overcame her health challenges and found a passion for advocacy, lobbying to make medical nutrition needs more accessible for everyone. Despite the pain and frustration along the way, Ambre found strength and a newfound appreciation for food, finding joy in simple moments like tie-dye T-shirt making and getting the occasional ice cream treat.
