In this powerful and personal episode of the Rebel Health Collective podcast, I sit down with my cousin Brittany to discuss her life-altering battle with parosmia—a rare condition that distorts taste and smell—after recovering from COVID. This episode is extra special to me, as Brittany’s journey represents so much of what we stand for at Rebel Health Collective: advocating for those navigating invisible health challenges, educating on lesser-known conditions, and fostering resilience in the face of adversity.

Brittany opens up about the emotional and physical toll parosmia took on her daily life, from the foods she once loved turning into something repulsive, to the isolation she felt when even social gatherings became unbearable. But this is more than just a story about struggle—it’s about perseverance, hope, and reclaiming control over her health and well-being.

If you’ve ever faced an invisible illness, felt dismissed by the medical system, or struggled with your mental health while dealing with physical challenges, this episode is for you. Join us as we dive into Brittany’s inspiring journey of survival, healing, and finding strength in unexpected places.
