Fitness influencer Alicia Beveridge has shared a health update after she underwent an emergency brain surgery in September.

She took to Instagram on October 5, 2025, to share with her followers that she had been in the hospital for nearly two weeks. She wrote:

“A rare condition I never saw coming.”

And added:

“Relearning how to speak some moments, struggling with vision, and coming to terms with what recovery is going to look like over the next few months. It’s easy to take basics for granted, your words, your vision, your independence. Until suddenly, they are not guaranteed.”

She further stated that the experience has completely changed her. It forced her to slow down and lean on people and to find strength in challenging moments. In her concluding message, she asked her followers not to take their bodies lightly, as nothing is promised.
