Kristy Sobel is Unstoppable, Unbreakable, Unbeatable!
BIOGRAPHY:
Kristy lives a blessed life. When she was told it was over, Kristy defied the odds. An automobile accident took her baby and crushed her L4-5 disc. Johnson and Johnson Charite Artificial Disc was implanted into her spine. Horrific complications mounted rapidly and her outlook was not good. She was diagnosed with Autonomic Neuropathy, an incurable illness. It occurred when the autonomic nerves were significantly moved due to the size of the artificial disc, causing irreparable damage. After receiving the bleak news, on her drive home she did not know if she had anything left to fight or let go. While stopped at a red light, the answer did not come, so when the light turned green Kristy gunned it straight for a cement column. Just before impact she started locked up the brakes and screamed, “I want to live!” She went home, researched the illness and sought out the expert who explained what would happen if the artificial disc came into the United States. She reached out and his response was, “there is nothing I can do, good luck.” The following day she boarded an airplane, flew out, sat on his doorstep and told him, “if I am going to die you are going to watch me.” Kristy continues to defy all odds.
In 2019, Kristy was met with another challenge when she was diagnosed with stage 1 Breast Cancer. She had a partial lumpectomy, underwent chemotherapy, and radiation. Kristy chose to wear DigniCap during chemotherapy. DigniCap freezes the hair follicles during chemotherapy preventing 90% of hair loss. She then contacted DigniCap and partnered with them due to the physical and mental benefits. Kristy is cancer free and living life to the fullest. She has dedicated her life to helping others who are going through life altering situations.
