In 2023, to her shock, Jamie discovered a rare thymic tumor and was also diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune disorder. Since then, Jamie has been working diligently with the best of integrative, metabolic and conventional medicine to heal her body and continue to thrive. She believes radical healing is possible, and happening all around her, and has learned an infinite amount of wisdom on this journey. 

During our conversation, Jamie opens up about the unexpected eye issues that led to her Thymoma diagnosis at age 36, how being turned down by her first surgeon became a great blessing, and the team of practitioners she credits for her recovery. She shares the complementary therapies that prepared her for a complicated surgery, the humbling choice to accept financial help, and the powerful life lessons she’s learned throughout her healing journey.
