Listen Later

In this emotional and deeply inspiring episode of the Healthspan Podcast, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE shares the story of a remarkable woman who defied every limitation placed on her. After a spinal cord injury left her in a wheelchair, she was told she wouldn’t live past 50. But instead of giving in to despair, she turned to HealthspanMD in search of better answers, better care, and most of all, hope. This episode captures her powerful journey of reclaiming her health, mobility, and sense of self through personalized, proactive care.
