College student Ellie Altman shares her incredible story of transformation after suffering two severe concussions that triggered daily, uncontrollable seizures. She details the shock of being misdiagnosed with generalized epilepsy and finding no relief from maximum medication dosages. Ellie reveals how functional neurology, coupled with unwavering faith, was the only path to healing. She describes the "new hope" she found when traditional medical approaches failed, achieving complete seizure freedom and recovering her cognitive life through neuroplasticity.

Ellie’s story is a testament to the power of never accepting "never." Her recovery culminated in achieving complete seizure freedom and successfully making the cut for her university's competitive a cappella group. Inspired by her own journey, Ellie is now pursuing her calling to become a functional neurologist, embodying the principle that sometimes your greatest trial becomes your greatest purpose.
