BREAKING: This week's episode of "Unsilenced: Rising After GBS" just dropped!

Have you ever wondered what it feels like when your body literally rewires itself? Our newest episode dives deep into the raw reality of nerve regeneration - not the sugar-coated version you get in the doctor's office.

"This isn't medical advice. This is survival knowledge. There's a difference."

WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE

Holly brings on two powerful voices to cut through the medical jargon:

  • Dr. Samantha Wei - A neurological rehabilitation specialist who isn't afraid to tell you what your medical team won't

  • Mark's Incredible Journey - From being hooked to a ventilator to crossing marathon finish lines in just 18 months

"Three years ago, I woke up and couldn't feel my legs. Within 48 hours, I was completely paralyzed. The doctors gave me a 30% chance of walking again."

THE BRUTAL TRUTH ABOUT NERVE RECOVERY

Did you know your nerves regrow at only about 1 inch per month? Most doctors won't prepare you for:

  1. The bizarre sensations during nerve regrowth

  2. Why progress seems to stop and start randomly

  3. The mental battle that's sometimes harder than the physical one

BEYOND THE 30% CHANCE

When Holly's doctors gave her minimal odds of walking again, they underestimated one critical factor: determination.

"Today, I'm not just walking—I'm reclaiming every inch of freedom they said I'd never have."

This episode breaks down exactly how Holly and Mark pushed past their initial prognosis and what specific techniques made the biggest difference.
