Aron Bender talks with Kelli Tennant, a former All-American volleyball player turned TV sports reporter with ESPN, Fox Sports, Spectrum SportsNet LA and others. While at USC she stopped playing volleyball after being diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Kelli says she was on various mediciations for more than a decade before she learned she'd been misdiagnosed. She didn't have fibromyalgia. Kelli actually had Epstein Barr, leaky gut and SIBO. In 2012, while Kelli's juggling her medical condition and jobs, her boyfriend-turned-fiancé lost his leg in a motorcycle accident. She would end up taking care of him until he could walk again -- but the relationship didn't survive. A few years later, Kelli left her TV sports reporting gig, and shut down all social media and public appearances for months. She reemerged as host of the Ceremony Wellness podcast, focusing on modern healing, wellness and spiritual development.

EPISODE NOTE: I recorded this podcast with Kelli Tennant before TMZ reported she's suing former Lakers coach Luke Walton for sexual assault. I've emailed Kelli asking if she wants to comment on the report or the lawsuit -- and I've not heard back. If and when I hear back, I'll either update the podcast, or post it on my Twitter or Instagram: @aronbender.
