Ep 283 From Rock Bottom to Radiant: How Antoinette Lee Healed Her Chronic Illness
from Professor of Perseverance Podcast · host Dr James Perdue Professor of Perseverance
Antoinette Lee relied on a walker, service dog, and full-time caregiver, having previously managed her parents’ care before their passing. She wished she’d known more about treatment options to better advocate for them—and for herself. Facing her fifth surgery, with failing organs and no clear path to recovery despite excellent insurance, she hit rock bottom. Unable to eat or drink for five weeks, she said goodbye to her service dog, Phoebe, preparing for the end. Today, she is a sponsored adventure sportswoman, writer, and motivational speaker, having traded her walker for a life of joy. Phoebe, her service dog, is now a semi-retired pet.
