Tune in to hear her inspiring story of battling autoimmune disease and regaining her health and fitness!

In this episode, Izzy talks about:

• Izzy’s background and her health and fitness journey
• What was it like growing up for Izzy with chronic pain and experiencing signs of inflammation from a young age but not being properly diagnosed

Notable Quotes:

“When you have symptoms, they might feel completely random—pain over here, pain in your eye, pain in your heel—just different signs of inflammation that you might think aren’t connected. Please listen to me when I say that your body is trying to tell you something, and you need to find the answers. You need to go looking for the root cause.”
