In this episode of The Real Deal, host Janine Igliane and cohost Ryan Hatcher sit down with Brian Gilmore, owner of Gilmore Electric and an Arizona resident who recently faced a serious battle with Valley Fever, to talk about his diagnosis, hospitalization, recovery, and what he wants everyone living in the Southwest to know.What started as a high fever and pain in Brian’s side quickly became something much more serious. After going to the emergency room, doctors discovered a mass in his lung and initially told him it was likely cancer. What followed was a frightening journey through hospital stays, procedures, breathing complications, multiple tests, and unanswered questions before Brian finally received the diagnosis that changed everything: Valley Fever.Throughout the episode, Brian shares what it was like to spend two weeks in the hospital, why an initial Valley Fever test did not give him the answers he needed, and how advocating for another test ultimately helped lead to his diagnosis. He also opens up about his recovery, the impact the experience had on his perspective toward health and family, and why he now feels so strongly about raising awareness of Valley Fever.Janine, Ryan, and Brian also discuss common Valley Fever symptoms, Arizona’s desert environment, dust exposure, the importance of advocating for yourself when something does not feel right, and precautions people can consider when dealing with heavy dust. Brian also shares his journey from California to Arizona, rebuilding his electrical business from scratch, and how the experience has affected the way he approaches life.Whether you live in Arizona, recently moved to the Southwest, work around construction or dust, or simply have never heard of Valley Fever, this episode shares one Arizona resident’s experience and why awareness matters.Guest Information:Brian GilmoreOwner, Gilmore ElectricSponsor Information:The Home Selling Team AZthehomesellingteamaz.com(480) 298-0910Make sure to like and subscribe for more episodes & follow us on social media!Instagram: @thehomesellingteamaz & @therealdealpodcastaz#ValleyFever #Arizona #ValleyFeverAwareness #ArizonaHealth #BrianGilmore #GilmoreElectric #GilbertAZ #QueenCreekAZ #ArizonaBusiness #SmallBusinessOwner #HealthAwareness #PatientAdvocacy #ArizonaLiving #TheRealDealPodcast #TheHomeSellingTeamAZ
