On today's Episode #10, Dr. Chuback, Dr. Iker, Dr. Gloviczki, and Dr. Melin welcomed AMY RIVERA to the show.

From Amy Rivera's Website:

I believe living a purpose driven life shouldn’t be directed by objectives in our path but rather align with our values. I left the corporate medical world to pursue my calling and to live life through philanthropy.

I was born with an incurable disorder called lymphedema that left me immensely disfigured. My right leg was 200% bigger than my left leg. I lived feeling alone for a long time. Through lifelong adversity with my disability, I developed an activist mindset as I feverishly fought to better my quality of life through medicine, nutrition, fitness, and faith. Against all odds, my journey led me to overcome the worst known severity of lymphedema, and I now manage it with minimal maintenance. I left the corporate medical world to pursue my calling to be a voice for those with disabilities and live a philanthropic life. You can read about my story in the book I am releasing on August 2nd: Drop The Skirt: How My Disability Became My Superpower.

I created a supportive and educational community around lymphedema called Ninjas Fighting Lymphedema Foundation. Together, we can live, laugh, and learn how to heal as we awaken our inner resilience and take authority over our own lives.
