The incredible Dr. Vibhav Bansal, Neuro-Intervention Medical Director, Javon Bea Hospital, in Rockford, IL, joins Atul to discuss Neurodegenerative diseases, and in particular, ALS, which affects nerve cells in the brain & spinal cord. There is no cure for ALS yet, an unforgiving illness, impacting all patients differently.  I wouldn’t wish this to happen to any loved one, but it happened to my dear Mom, whom we lost in August of this year.  This episode is meant to drive awareness around ALS, an understanding of it, how we can support, and a celebration of my dear Mom.
Part II in our Prof P Health Series: tips to help us create & curate afulfilling life of value. Please listen to "Whiskey Hue Episode 72: Hustle Generation (A Tribute Episode)", where us 3 co-hosts celebrate parents we had lost at that time. Carry the family torch with honor and respect, and the legacy lasts forever...
