The podcast I Am You is hosted by Dr. Nitza Alvarez, a board-certified cardiologist and bestselling author. The episode aims to empower women to take charge of their health and advocate for themselves within the healthcare system. In this episode, Dr. Alvarez interviews Karin McNeil, a woman diagnosed with heart disease at 40 after initially mistaking her symptoms for the flu.
Karin shares her struggles with misdiagnoses, inadequate medical care, and the need to advocate for herself to receive life-saving treatment, including heart surgery and a defibrillator.

The podcast seeks to inspire women to become the "CEO of their own health" by sharing real-life stories demonstrating the power of persistence and self-advocacy in overcoming barriers in the healthcare system. It encourages listeners to trust their instincts, speak up about their health concerns, and seek providers who respect and advocate for their well-being.
