Geoff Ledford was a college student when he first found out of his condition as his friends noticed that his left leg is not properly working. Geoff had a couple of specialists diagnose his condition and they did not deliver. Finally, when he encountered Kaiser, the company put all effort and resources just to determine what was happening to him and found out that he is suffering from some kind of muscular dystrophy or muscle degeneration.

Geoff is currently working with Kaiser for an experimental treatment for his condition.

On this episode, Geoff talks about some of these episodes:

  • Finding out that his left leg is weak and not properly functioning
  • How the medical industry won't help if you are not familiar with your condition
  • Importance of being a "master" of your condition
  • What helped Geoff to face the slow process of healing head on
  • The moment he found out that the experimental treatment actually works
