In this episode, Liz interviews Kate McGrath, who discusses her challenges with Dysautonomia, a nervous system disorder affecting bodily functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, digestion, and temperature control. Kate also speaks about her campaign to raise awareness of this little-known disease."
