Listen Later

In this memorable episode, Ryan, who has seemed to manage his classic salt wasting CAH head-on with an organized, matter of fact approach, has been faced with new challenges to consider now that he is in his 30's.  Ryan's mom, Heidi, knew in his first 2 weeks of life that something was just not right with her baby and thanks to her intuition and diligence she did not stop until the hospital found a diagnosis. Once she was told her newborn had CAH, she began her quest to give Ryan the very best life she could, filled with independence, knowledge, responsibility and most of all positivity. Ryan credits his mom for being his rock, leading him to live a typical life filled with adventure, fun and love.  

Join Stephanie and Dina as they visit with Ryan and unveil how he has navigated living with CAH from elementary school, through college and recently marriage as well as his difficult relationship with the powerful steriod "Dex" and how grateful he is for every one in his life who has helped him on his journey with this rare condition.
