The Dr Shannon Kelly interview - The Bravest Heart

Greg McWilliams Season 1 Episode 31

Dr. Shannon Kelly, an international triathlete and medical graduate, has a compelling story of overcoming significant health challenges on her journey to becoming an elite athlete. In 2019, during a routine cardiac screening required for a triathlon event in France, a rare blood clot was discovered near her heart. This condition, caused by a rare complication from oral contraceptive pills, could have led to a fatal pulmonary embolism if left untreated. Fortunately, timely diagnosis and treatment allowed her to recover fully and return to competition by October 2019​

This is an insightful chat and one that provides inner strength, resilance and drive. 

As always, wherever you get the pod, I hope it reaches you well.
