Occult Awareness

The "Occult Awareness" podcast shares stories about “hidden” medical conditions. It empowers global health advocates and undiagnosed patients by telling their stories, educating the broader public, and discussing the lack of healthcare with health professionals who are rare/undiagnosed patient advocates and allies.

The podcast serves as a beacon of hope and knowledge for individuals navigating the complexities of the often misunderstood realm of hidden or 'occult' medical conditions, such as Occult Tethered Cord and Cervical Cranial Instability (CCI) within the Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and beyond.

Each episode invites listeners into the lives of those who face the daily challenges of seeking accurate diagnoses, battling misperceptions, and often receiving inadequate treatment.

The heart of "Occult Awareness" lies in its compelling storytelling, as guests share their personal journeys, from the trials of living with undiagnosed symptoms to the triumphs of finding understanding and proper care. Alongside these powerful narratives, the podcast brings expert voices from the medical community to discuss the subtleties of occult conditions, current research, and emerging treatments.

By fostering a community of empathy and advocacy, "Occult Awareness" empowers those affected by these conditions and educates the broader public, healthcare providers, and policymakers about the critical need for awareness and the nuances of medical care for occult disabilities. Each episode aims to educate, inspire, and advocate for change, contributing to a more informed and compassionate society.
