In this episode of Energy in Action, host Marcy Young sits down with Alex Salser, a passionate advocate and volunteer with MitoAction, to discuss her inspiring journey of overcoming challenges with LCHAD, a mitochondrial disease. Alex shares her recent milestone of graduating college in just three years, despite numerous hospitalizations, and how she continues to fight for the life she wants to live.
Alex also introduces Our Space, the young adult support group she leads through MitoAction, designed to help those aged 18 to 30 connect, share, and navigate life with mitochondrial disease. From relationships and careers to education and insurance, Our Space fosters understanding, encouragement, and friendship for those facing similar challenges.
