Raising Public Awareness About the Danger of Sepsis

San Francisco Bay Area celebrity makeup artist Christina Flach joined host Marcylle Combs on the podcast 50% with Marcylle Combs for a powerful conversation about raising public awareness of the dangers of sepsis, a cause deeply personal to her own life story.
Christina was married to professional tennis player Ken Flach, a Grand Slam champion and Olympic gold medalist, who passed away in 2018 after a brief and unexpected battle with sepsis. Since his passing, Christina has dedicated herself to educating the public about the warning signs of sepsis and the critical importance of seeking swift medical attention. She has partnered with Sepsis Alliance to produce awareness campaigns highlighting Ken’s story, and has spoken on the topic across numerous major platforms, including Fox News, KTVU, NBC Bay Area, Tennis Channel, ABC Bay Area, CBS, and Marin Independent Journal, among others.

In this episode, she shares how she has carried both her career and her advocacy work forward simultaneously, using her platform to spread public health awareness while continuing to build a thriving beauty business.
Listeners walk away with a deeper understanding of sepsis, its symptoms, and why swift medical intervention matters, alongside an honest, moving look at how Christina has turned personal tragedy into a meaningful mission of advocacy and education.
