Today, during International Pompe Day, we're raising awareness for those with the disease as well as their families and friends helping them live with this life-changing condition. Sloths represent Pompe awareness because muscle weakness and slowed movement are key symptoms of the disease.

Share this post to help raise awareness for Cushing’s disease and the importance of early diagnosis.

Alyssa is a mom of three, an entrepreneur, and a former competitive triathlete. When rapid weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, and muscle weakness took over her body, she knew something wasn’t right.

After months of testing, she was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease, caused by a pituitary tumor producing excess cortisol.

As part of Cushing's Awareness Day, we're sharing Alyssa's story again. Thousands of people, just like Alyssa, are living with Cushing’s disease, and many more are likely undiagnosed. The longer a diagnosis is delayed, the longer recovery can take.

Through surgeries, medical therapy, and holistic care, Alyssa continues to fight, and today, she’s training again.
