"The sickness slowed me down and gave me time alone to get to know myself,  reflect on my life and learn who I was"   ~ Sondee
 
In this episode, we follow Sondee’s journey through hyperacusis, misdiagnosis, and the terrifying possibility of losing her independence. A low-frequency hum became the trigger that unraveled her nervous system, leading to vertigo and migraines. After a 2022 concert, months of denial, financial strain, and the emotional weight of parenting while unwell, her search for answers pushed her past symptom labels and into functional medicine testing, uncovering food sensitivities that shifted everything. 

Sondee also shares the emotional side—the cost of staying silent, the courage to ask for help, and the power of rebuilding community. Her story becomes a blueprint for anyone seeking root-cause healing and an honest path forward.
