Calling In Sick

This week on Calling in Sick, I'm sitting down with someone who lives this chronic illness life from both sides of the equation. Cortney Gensemer, PhD is a scientist at ChronicleBio, a patient with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, MCAS, POTS, and adrenal insufficiency, and the creator behind @CortDoesScience, and she is not holding back.

This week we're diving into:

🔬 What it's actually like to study your own disease

🩺 The challenges of specialized care and diagnosis for the chronic illness population

🧬 How "omics" research is what’s connecting the dots across chronic illnesses to move beyond labels and actually find answers

💊 Our hot takes on if: diagnostic labels 100% helpful, wellness culture is actually toxic, patients are more informed than their providers, and so much more

xx, 

Alex

In this Calling in Sick x Ask Alex, I’m joined by Mickey Trescott to talk about one of the most confusing parts of living with chronic illness: figuring out what’s actually helping… and what might be making things worse. From “food as medicine” discourse to the overuse of words like remission, this conversation gets into the nuance that’s so often missing online.

We cover:

💊 Diet vs. medication: when it makes sense to explore nutrition changes… and when delaying treatment can come at a real cost

🌀 The “remission” conversation: why that word can be misleading in the chronic illness space and how it can create false hope

🥬 Wellness trends under the microscope: mushroom coffee, greens powders, carnivore diets, nootropics, cold plunging, low-histamine diets, and more

⚠️ Supplement overload: why “natural” doesn’t always mean safe, especially for people with autoimmune disease

🧰 Building your toolbox: how to stay open-minded without falling into the trap of extreme protocols or one-size-fits-all advice

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting health advice online, or wondered why something that helped one person made you feel worse, this episode is such an important reminder that chronic illness is never one-size-fits-all. Mickey brings so much clarity to the conversation around management, experimentation, and finding the approach that actually works for your body.

xx,

Alex

This week on Calling in Sick, I’m sitting down with Mickey Trescott (@mickeytrescott), one of the original voices behind the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), to talk about what AIP actually is, who it’s for, and how to approach food when you’re living with chronic illness without spiraling into overwhelm.

Mickey shares the story of her own autoimmune diagnosis journey, how changing the way she ate became one of the first tools that actually helped her feel better, and how that experience eventually led her to help build what became the AIP community. We also get into the evolution of AIP itself, why it’s not meant to be a forever diet, how to think about elimination and reintroductions in a realistic way, and the foods and habits that can make eating feel more supportive instead of more stressful.

We’re diving into:

If food has ever felt confusing, restrictive, or emotionally loaded in the context of chronic illness, this episode is such a grounding reminder that you do not need to do everything perfectly. You just need information, a little structure, and a way of eating that supports your body.

xx,

💬 Comment: Mickey talked about learning your personal food triggers instead of chasing one perfect diet. Have you ever had a food or eating habit make a bigger difference in your symptoms than you expected?

In this Calling in Sick x Ask Alex, I’m joined by Shamekka Marty to discuss the deeply personal and often invisible impact of living with chronic illnesses… how the diagnosis and disease ripples through every aspect of life and relationships. From the way your children see you to the difficult conversations you have with your employer regarding your health.

We cover:

💜 Parenting with chronic illness: how to educate your children without passing on trauma or fear

🤝 The "Village" Effect: how the diagnosis hits the patient and the entire support system

👨‍👧 Chronic Illness Guilt: navigating complex family dynamics and the heavy emotional toll on parents of sick children

🛑 Stop the Flake: how to communicate with friends when your body and mind aren't in sync

🏢 Chronic Illness in the Workplace: the urgent need for empathy training and why you shouldn't be afraid to ask for accommodations

Living with a chronic illness means balancing the roles of parent, professional, and patient all at once. Whether you're struggling with "the guilt of being sick" or trying to build a workplace that understands your value, this conversation offers the validation and tools you need to lead a "big life" while managing a disease

This week on Calling in Sick, we are honored to sit down with one of the most resilient and powerful voices in the chronic illness community: Shamekka Marty, better known as Mika or the “Pretty Sick Lupus Chick”. Mika’s journey is a masterclass in turning medical trauma into advocacy, having navigated a life shaped by caregiving, a life-saving kidney transplant, medical trauma and the complexities of being a Black woman navigating the Western medical system with an invisible illness.

We’re diving into:

⭐ Advocacy as a Purpose: How Mika transitioned from her role as a caregiver throughout her childhood to becoming a nationally recognized advocate who uses her story to drive legislative and systemic change

⚠️ Navigating the Unthinkable: Mika opens up about the mental torture of losing her mom at a young age, undergoing seven miscarriages, her surgery complications, and how she held onto hope through it all

🏥 The Reality of Transplantation: An inside look at the organ exchange swap program, the grueling post-transplant medication regimen, and the importance of building a "village" to support your recovery

💊 Taking Power Back: Practical strategies for auditing your health records, overcoming medical gaslighting, and the "smackdown" approach to ensuring your pain is believed and your care is prioritized

If you have ever felt small in a doctor’s office or overwhelmed by a daunting diagnosis, this episode is a reminder that you are the "end user" of your medical practice and you have power to demand better.

xx,

💬 Comment: Mika mentioned that she "focuses on what she can do, not what she can't". What is one thing you’ve accomplished this week, big or small, that made you feel powerful in your own body?
