Hi, I’m Jennifer Huber, also known as Solo Travel Girl. For nearly three years, I’ve been managing my type 2 diabetes with Mounjaro. Paired with improved diet and increased physical activity, this journey has led to a lower A1C, the reversal of non-alcoholic liver disease, over 50 lbs. of weight loss, reduced blood pressure, and better cholesterol levels.
I’ve been sharing my experience online, encouraging others to stay committed—even when challenges arise. And I get it. Last year, Lyme disease knocked me off track. My A1C climbed, and I gained weight due to treatment. The recovery process has been unpredictable, but I’m learning as I go.
While living in Florida, I likely contracted Lyme in New York while supporting a family member. Though rare here, Lyme and other tickborne and mosquito-borne illnesses do exist in Florida. As someone who loves the outdoors, I’m passionate about raising awareness and helping people protect themselves.
Let’s talk about prevention, perseverance, and living well—no matter the obstacles!
Hi, I’m Dan Noyes, and I bring a deeply personal lens to patient advocacy. I live with epilepsy and chronic health conditions, and I know what it’s like to navigate life when the road ahead feels uncertain. But I also believe fiercely in the power of living forward. With the help of my service dog, Gabe, I volunteer at hospitals to connect with patients — especially those who are also walking with invisible or complex conditions. Sometimes, the most healing thing isn’t a treatment plan — it’s feeling seen.
My work blends compassion with innovation. I’m using AI to build tools that support people emotionally and practically as they manage chronic illness. I’m not just imagining a better future for patients — I’m actively building it. What makes me different isn’t just my technical training or my story. It’s that I show up — every day — with a mindset of empathy, hope, and practical forward motion. I believe the past may shape us, but it doesn’t define us. Together, we can reimagine what it means to live well — starting now.
