Maya's job at a summer camp resulted in fluid retention.
Transcript
I went to work as a camp counsellor overnight camp and the food there is terrible. So I came home completely fluid overloaded, not knowing what was going on – actually trying to avoid it completely – just not acknowledging that there was anything wrong with me. But my mom noticed that there was an issue and she took me to the emergency room. So I returned home went back to camp resumed an intentionally low sodium diet because I kind of realized that there was an interaction there.
