In this episode of The TPE Blueprint, Lisa Buyer sits down with world-renowned choreographer Mia Michaels for a deeply personal conversation about health, healing, and reclaiming life after years of unexplained illness. Known for her groundbreaking work on So You Think You Can Dance, Celine Dion's A New Day, and countless other productions, Mia shares how decades of prioritizing success over self-care ultimately led to a complete health collapse.

Mia opens up about her struggles with chronic illness, brain fog, inflammation, gut issues, hidden infections, and the emotional toll of stepping away from the career she loved. She discusses the role toxins, mold exposure, infections, trauma, and lifestyle choices may have played in her health journey, and why she's now pursuing Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) as part of her recovery. Most importantly, Mia shares a message of hope for anyone feeling disconnected from themselves, their health, or their purpose.
