Dear Diary: Living Life With Parkinson’s Disease ft Jimmy Choi

In episode 65, Mel and Al sit down with the amazing Jimmy Choi, who shares how he turned a Parkinson’s diagnosis into one of the most powerful comeback stories you have ever heard. He talks about his early symptoms, the fear of being told he’d be in a wheelchair by 45, and the moment he decided to completely rewrite his future. Jimmy walks us through how small habits, community, and yes hundreds of burpees helped him go from using a cane to competing on American Ninja Warrior. They also dive into the biggest misconceptions about Parkinson’s and what day-to-day life with the condition is actually like. It’s an episode that will leave you inspired, hopeful, and ready ready to go try a burpee or two.Jimmy Choi IGMichael J.
