Life-Saving Transplant by Crowdfunding $250k, Type 1 Diabetes & Chronic Illness Stigmas, and Mask Advice from a Pro with Brandon Mouw | Episode #5

This is for those days that seem hopeless, the moments that feel insurmountable, the challenges that never stop. This is a story of not just surviving, but thriving. 

And this is Brandon Mouw. 

At 3-years-old Brandon was diagnosed as a Juvenile Type 1 Diabetic. Later in life, he grew to be a brittle diabetic, underwent 9 surgeries, lost a kidney, told that death was imminent, and raised over $250,000 to pay out-of-pocket for a life-saving pancreas-only transplant. 

And after all that, he’s here on this podcast to tell us how he overcame the odds. 

If you’re looking for hope, keep listening. If you want to learn how to be a better advocate for yourself, this is your guy. 

And if you want to be inspired, look no further as Brandon tells us all that and so much more on this week’s The Chronic Illness Playbook.
