Invisible Illnesses
Invisible Illnesses explores why so many people experience real, sometimes severe symptoms—like back pain, headaches or fatigue—yet medical tests come back normal. Hosts Alex Ward-Booth, who’s been through his own personal medical journey, and his cousin Dr. Stephen Ward-Booth, a practicing GP, shed light on “functional illnesses” like IBS and fibromyalgia. Through real stories and expert voices, they reveal the surprising mind-body connections and share practical strategies for feeling better—even when the causes and answers aren’t obvious. Not medical advice; speak to your GP.
Episode 3: Ciaran's Story (Part 1 of 2)
In Episode 3, Stevie and I sit down with Ciaran Willcocks, who candidly shares his experience with functional illness and recovery, starting from the upheaval of 2020. His honest, relatable account sheds light on how doing too much - at work AND at home - can take its toll, and what we can all learn from this story.
We believe Ciaran’s story will resonate with anyone facing invisible illnesses, and offer new understanding for colleagues, friends, and family, too
