Show Notes

In this powerful episode of Energy in Action, host Marcy Young welcomes Tania, a resilient mito patient, as she shares her compelling journey of navigating life with a rare and challenging diagnosis. Tania recounts her transition from a fulfilling career as a pediatric nurse to becoming an advocate and educator within the mitochondrial disease community.

Together, they explore Tania’s early symptoms, the frustrations of searching for answers, and her eventual clinical diagnosis of mitochondrial disease despite inconclusive genetic testing. Tania opens up about the emotional toll of stepping away from her career, the grief of losing aspects of her identity, and the unique ways she’s found to give back—whether through mentoring medical students, supporting her family, or educating others about rare diseases.

This heartfelt conversation provides hope and insight for those facing similar challenges and highlights the importance of resilience, connection, and advocacy in the face of uncertainty.
