Episode 120 - Lydia Guerrero: Making Infusions Comfortable for All


Listen Later

Lydia Guerrero founded Infusion Wear with a mission to create affordable adaptive wear, specifically designed for individuals undergoing medical treatments. Lydia was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2011, and her DMT infusion process was made more uncomfortable by having to struggle with clothing that was either too tight or cumbersome.

After seeing an adaptive sweatshirt online that was priced at $140, she realized there was a gap in the market for affordable, functional clothing. With her husband's support, she took matters into her own hands, literally sewing zippers into sweatshirts to make her infusion experience more comfortable. Lydia's grassroots approach not only filled a personal need but also aimed to help others facing similar challenges.

In my conversation with Lydia, we talked about the emotional impact of receiving her MS diagnosis, the motivation behind creating adaptive clothing, and the collaborative effort with family and friends to bring her vision to life. We also discussed the importance of creating affordable, high-quality adaptive wear for those with medical needs and the exciting plans for the future of Infusion Wear.
