OverviewLast episode as of Dec 2023Emily Ana Levy is a distinguished social impact entrepreneur, renowned patient advocate, healthcare Key Opinion Leader, and acclaimed international public speaker. Emily's journey led her to co-found Mighty Well in 2016. It's a startup driven by her personal experiences as a patient grappling with chronic neurological Lyme disease and autoimmune conditions, along with the challenges of managing vascular access devices. Mighty Well's direct-to-patient brand offers innovative medical products and comprehensive digital learning on vascular access, empowering patients to confidently navigate their health journey. With an unwavering commitment, Levy and her team have successfully launched seven adaptive medical products, notably the Class 1 FDA-registered PICCPerfect® Pro. Emily and Mighty Well's impact has been featured across various media outlets such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Who What Wear, The Boston Globe, PBS, Forbes, and more. In 2021, inspired by her transformative healing journey in the Amazon and stepping into her gifts as a seer, medium, and deathwalker, Emily established Hamsa Healing. In her practice, she is dedicated to facilitating clients in experiencing profound healing practices from the Amazon and the spiritual realm — practices that played a vital role in saving her life and putting her chronic illnesses into remission. Currently residing in Providence, the heart of the Ocean State of Rhode Island, Emily finds solace in cold water plunges that invigorate her senses and ground her in the present moment. She cherishes moments at home with her two adopted poodles, a warm blanket, and a cup of tea; valuing introspection over bustling networking events. Emily remains devoted to self-discovery, eager to share her insights with folks who, like her, have felt marginalized within a business and medical system that often overlooks their needs for visibility, understanding, and validation. What started as an entrepreneurial journey to 'turn sickness into strength' has now become one of learning strength from sickness.Key LinksMighty WellDr. Casey Kelley on UP - Ep 118TakeawayTune in as Emily shares:* that she'd blocked out a memory of being bitten by a tick at the age of six; she was bitten again at the age of 12, alongside having confirmed EBV* what her initial symptoms were like* how she was overlooked because of her age and gender — and initially put on birth control to control her “hormones”* that she finally found a Lyme-literate NP in her home state when in college — and received the diagnosis of Lyme and tick-borne illnesses at the age of 19* her additional diagnoses: POTS/dysautonomia, Hashimoto's disease, CIDP (chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy), C-PTSD, and Gilbert's syndrome* that she went to see Dr. Casey Kelley after hearing her episode of the show!* how her lived experience informs the creation of adaptive devices and wearables for Mighty Well* how she was able to embody her identity as a disabled person — coming from a family of athletes* that she had a lot of Lyme support in college, but also felt “othered” in the sense that she had to advocate for her health for the first time* what a typical day was like for her before remission* her rumination on the invisibility of her diagnoses — and their few visible signifiers, which included her PICC line and chest port, as well as her occasional use of a cane* how exhausting it can be to tell people your life story when you live with invisible illness and have to provide validation to others* the epidemic affecting women in healthcare: acute infections, especially those presenting with multiple and varied symptoms — and how important it is to listen to and include women, both in treatment and in research* how her family background in textiles informed the Mighty Well product line* her advice for fellow spoonies and entrepreneurs* why living near the water is so important for her* that she has trained her dog, Olive, as a medical alert service animal* her belief that ketamine therapy saved her life, with regard to the diagnosis of C-PTSD* her endorsement of plant medicines and herbs, and why she has moved in that direction where her ongoing treatment is concerned Get full access to Uninvisible Pod at uninvisiblepod.substack.com/subscribe

Emily Levy is the 27-year-old visionary female entrepreneur and co-founder of Mighty Well. Mighty Well is a medical wearables company that grew from a vascular access equipment company (PicPerfect) to a community that has defined the Adaptive Fashion industry. Ms. Levy's journey to CEO of a venture capital backed category king began when she was bitten by a tick at the age of 6. For the following 6 years, untreated Lyme disease presented as chronic illness without a diagnosis until the end of Ms. Levy's first year of college. The many trials faced by Ms. Levy and her 2 best friends and caregivers during their collective college experiences became the inspiration for the three to start a movement “to change the perception of patients from victims to fighters.” If you would like to learn more about how functional and stylish apparel, accessories and medical wearables were manifested by Lyme disease and the love that developed between 3 college classmates, then tune in now!

Good vibes only and positivity is a concept where people believe in keeping only the positive and rejecting any negative thoughts and notions. This approach also believes that you’re in control of your body and what happens to you and that you can simply remove yourself from negative situations. You’re to blame if you stay in the negative situation or thoughts, and you’re to blame for bringing up negativity. It is the stigma that bad feelings are well, bad! Having unrealistic hopes is self-destructive, as you are putting mental and emotional energy into making it happen, and are likely to be disappointed when you fail to reach your goal. Can you already see where this is going to fail? In this week's podcast episode, Marni travelled virtually to New York to speak with Kayla Juettner. Chronic illness and disability advocate, and the woman behind the Instagram account @chronically.kayla. Being born sick made Kayla create unique challenges and outlook on the world. Dealing with appointments, and hospitals rooms, and disability can be lonely; thus, @chronically.kayla was born. She wanted to create a space to foster conversations and community around living with chronic illness and disability. Inspiration Porn peak ableism that can’t help but damage people living with skin conditions and disabilities. Many people perpetuate toxic positivity without realising what they are doing, many times as a form of ableism.

On this episode, we talk with Emily Levy, the Co-Founder, and CEO of Mighty Well. Mighty Well creates functional and stylish apparel and accessories to help patients turn sickness into strength. Mighty Well was started out of a need that Emily had herself after she was diagnosed with Chronic Neurological Lyme Disease and had a PICC line put in. She noticed that all the options available to cover it weren’t conducive to living a functional and “normal” life. Emily decided that she needed to create a solution… and Mighty Well was it. They currently have six products out so far and have raised around $500,000 from investors like Breakaway Ventures, Tim Draper and crowdfunding platform, Republic. We focus in on Mighty Well’s experience raising money as a woman-led team, the unique aspect of developing a super personal product, how to build an engaging and community-driven brand, and much more!

Starting a successful new company is impressive enough. But opening a new market is even more so, especially when the founder happens to be a college student. That's what Emily Levy accomplished as the CEO and co-founder of Mighty Well — a company at the intersection of fashion, lifestyle, and disease management. But that's just part of her story. While a student at Babson College Emily won our 2015 Beantown Throwdown and this year she returned as one of the judges of the 2017 Beantown Throwdown. Her selection as a judge made a lot of sense given that she has won 15 pitch-offs altogether — in addition to the $200,000 Mighty Well has received so far in venture capital. But Emily is not only the CEO and co-founder of her new company. She is also a customer. It turns out that Mighty Well wasn't just a solution to a problem identified through a market study — although her team has certainly conducted a number of those. It is also a solution to a problem she had to face personally.
