Get Social Health speaks with Matt Cavallo, author, speaker and trainer who also happens to have Multiple Sclerosis. Hearing that you have been diagnosed with MS is devastating no matter who you are. But if you a 28 year old, 6'2" former football player with a new wife and a memory of an Aunt's passing of the same illness, it can knock you down, hard. Matt found a reason to get up and go on to become a nationally recognized MS blogger, speaker, chronic-illness coach and now, assistant soccer coach for his son's team. Matt shares his health and life journey on the podcast.
