Mireille shares her full story: the college stress that preceded her lupus diagnosis, the blood clot that took three ER visits to catch, chemotherapy and medical leave, and the slow, deliberate comeback that started with a quarter-mile run.We get practical: how Mireille structures training around flares with her stoplight protocol, why sleep is her non-negotiable recovery anchor, how she approaches nutrition and meal prep for inflammation, and how to tell normal training fatigue from the start of a flare. Plus the mental game — why "you're not gonna get anywhere chasing a ghost," and what invisible strength means to her.✨ FREE QUIZ: Not sure where to start on your own health journey?
