At 29, Liz Rozet hit a terrifying rock bottom — daily migraines, nerve pain, and complete exhaustion. What she thought were “just headaches” turned out to be a complex network of chronic conditions, including POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), Type 1 Chiari malformation, hEDS (Hyper-mobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome), CCI (Cranial Cervical Instability), and MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome).In this episode, Liz shares her journey through years of misdiagnoses, endless doctor visits, and the emotional weight of living with these “invisible illnesses” that are becoming more and more common. Her courage and persistence remind us that healing isn’t always linear — sometimes, it’s about learning to trust your own body again.Follow Liz on Instagram---Presented by Jigsaw Health Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@therockbottom.podcastFollow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rockbottom.podcast---Chapters: 00:00 – Intro: Welcome to the Rock Bottom Podcast 00:24 – Meet Liz Roset: Misdiagnosed Migraines and Pain 01:14 – Rock Bottom: Daily Pain and Fear to Breathe 03:36 – Early Symptoms in College and Constant Fatigue 05:04 – Searching for Answers: “Heal Your Headache” Diet 07:19 – Realization: It’s More Than Just Migraines 10:00 – MRI Results: Discovering Chiari Malformation 19:48 – The ER, Spinal Fluid Leak Scare & Dismissive Doctors 25:33 – Discovering Dysautonomia & POTS Diagnosis 33:07 – CCI, Hypermobility & Facing Possible Spine Surgery 37:28 – Life in Tennessee, Diet Changes & Raw Milk Discovery 44:13 – MCAS Diagnosis, Food Sensitivities & Hope Restored 49:00 – Lessons in Self-Advocacy & Reclaiming HealthNew Episodes Every other Wednesday
