Chris Willard - AKA The Advocate Voice

In this episode I chat to Chris Willard. In late 2022 Chris was diagnosed with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system attacks the myelin that insulates and protects your body's nerves. Since his diagnosis, Chris has been on an incredible journey as he has adapted to life with the condition and learnt more about it. in less than 12 months he has written two books about the importance of functional fitness and nutrition in managing his condition and has established a global community for those whose lives are touched by rare disease.  Chris and I chat about his remarkable journey from first symptoms to the amazing work he is doing now and explore how he has had to respond differently to life with CIDP compared to previous medical challenges. To learn more about the Advocate Voice go to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8IY9tZTxIiE1703HQoERTA  or https://www.instagram.com/theadvocatevoice/
