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 MaryAnn Brock, who shares her journey with cardiac health.
MaryAnn describes experiencing persistent burning chest pain, initially misdiagnosed as acid reflux, despite ongoing treatment. Over time, she realized the importance of self-advocacy in healthcare, especially for women, who often downplay symptoms or face dismissal.
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.
