In this compelling episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we sit down with Shant Cimenian—author, film producer, and entrepreneur—to explore his extraordinary journey from battling Familial Mediterranean Fever to inspiring thousands globally.

We dive deep into the mental strength it takes to live victoriously despite chronic illness, the role of faith in finding meaning through adversity, and the power of turning personal struggles into global missions of hope. This conversation is a raw and uplifting reminder that resilience isn't about avoiding hardship—it’s about rising through it.
