From Paralysed to Extreme Athlete: Rebuilding With Multiple Sclerosis | Blush & Bloom | Ep. 42
Episode Description
In this episode of Blush and Bloom, Gigi Kenneth speaks with Dr. Sabine Seymour — creative scientist, cultural strategist, and founder of Regenerative Punk — about Multiple Sclerosis, autoimmune disease in women, and the future of health data and wearables.
Dr. Sabine coined the term fashiontech, was the inaugural professor of Fashionable Technology at Parsons School of Design, and spent over 30 years building wearable technology — starting with body area networks before Bluetooth existed. In 2024, she marked 20 years since her Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis, which put her in a wheelchair and left her speech-paralysed within 48 hours. She shares what she did to regenerate her health, what worked, and what nearly killed her.
They discuss why autoimmune disease is so poorly understood despite affecting nearly 80% of patients who are women, what data sovereignty in women's health actually looks like, and Dr. Sabine's vision for a bio-based agentic wearable that computes entirely on-device and keeps your health data yours.
This episode is for women living with autoimmune or chronic conditions, FemTech and HealthTech founders, wearable designers, and anyone interested in women's health data and personal technology.
