Episode 65: Kevin Alexander - PKU

 

Kevin opens up about living with PKU, a rare metabolic condition diagnosed at birth that requires lifelong dietary management. As a passionate advocate and storyteller, Kevin walks us through his journey, from early challenges of growing up with a restrictive diet to becoming a global voice for the PKU community. The conversation dives into mental health, feelings of isolation, access disparities in healthcare, and the healing power of music and connection. Kevin’s vulnerability and perspective offer not just education, but comfort to others navigating rare diseases.

The song that Kevin chose is Shadow Days by John Mayer.
