Diagnosed Podcast: Real Stories of Life After a Medical Diagnosis

Be a guest on Diagnosed!

Being diagnosed with a medical condition can change everything - how you see yourself, how you plan your future, and how you experience everyday life. For many people, diagnosis day is a moment they never forget.

Diagnosed: The Day That Turns Your Life Around is a new podcast created to explore those moments honestly, humanly, and with hope.
 
Hosted by Lee Cunningham, the podcast features real conversations with people living with medical conditions. Each episode follows a simple but powerful journey: life before diagnosis, the day the diagnosis arrived, and what life looks like now.
 
This isn’t a clinical or medical podcast. Diagnosed is a series of conversations with real people, sharing real experiences, and the strength it takes to adapt, rebuild, and move forward when life takes an unexpected turn.

​Why we’re creating Diagnosed

At You ID Me, we support thousands of people living with medical conditions every day. Again and again, we see how powerful shared experiences can be - especially for someone who’s newly diagnosed, scared, or unsure what the future holds.

Diagnosed was created to offer reassurance through storytelling. 
​
Hearing from someone who’s “been there” can make a huge difference. It can replace fear with understanding, isolation with connection, and uncertainty with hope. This podcast exists to remind people that they are not alone.

​What the podcast covers

Founder of You ID Me and host of Diagnosted: The Day That Turns Your Life Around Lee Cunningham

Each episode of Diagnosed is shaped around conversation, not scripts. Topics naturally include:

• Early symptoms and diagnosis journeys
• The emotional impact of receiving life-changing news
• Adjusting to treatment, routines, and daily life
• Relationships, work, and identity after diagnosis
• Finding support, purpose, and resilience
• Advice for others who are newly diagnosed

Episodes cover a wide range of conditions - from common diagnoses such as diabetes and epilepsy, to rare conditions, long-term illnesses, and people living with multiple medical conditions.

​Who can feature on Diagnosed?

​Diagnosed is open to anyone with a medical-related story to share.

You don’t need to be an expert, a public speaker, or someone with a “perfect” outcome. You can be any:

• Age
• Gender
• Background
• Condition (common or rare)
  
  

What matters is that you’re willing to talk honestly about your experience and how diagnosis affected your life in a meaningful or positive way.
​
Most interviews are recorded remotely, in a relaxed and supportive environment. Guests are always in control of what they share and can pause or skip any question at any time.
