Our Founder on the Pushing Forward with Alycia Podcast

May 14, 2026

Elizabeth Ansell recently joined Alycia on the Pushing Forward with Alycia podcast to share the story behind #NotJustFatigue, how self-teaching herself medicine led her to discover ME/CFS, and how the dismissive attitudes patients face turned her horror into action.

She also speaks candidly about grief, milestone moments, and finding hope in the ME/CFS community's growing momentum.

"It's very sad that we can't change the past with this disease. But right now in the present, we can work for a better future ~ Elizabeth Ansell
