Listen in to my chat with Dr. Rick Bedlack and hear about his inspiring mission to conquer ALS.

Here I chat with Dr. Richard Bedlack, a neurologist known not only for his relentless ALS research but also for his unique style. This episode unfolds the fascinating story of how an encounter with legendary designer Manuel Cuevas led to the creation of a special jacket that embodies Dr. Bedlack's fight against ALS. We also celebrate the powerful alliances formed through advocacy, as highlighted by a heartfelt recognition from Zac Brown Band's John Driskell Hopkins. I loved hearing Dr. Bedlack talk about the how fashion, music and medicine are all playing a part in the battle against ALS.
For 24 years, Dr. Bedlack of the Duke ALS Clinic has been at the forefront of ALS research, driven by a childhood fascination with the brain. His journey has been marked by pivotal moments that shaped his dedication to building a program offering hope and options for ALS patients.  Here, Dr. Bedlack reflects on the significance of hope, not only as a treatment strategy but as a vital component of navigating life with ALS.
Dr. Bedlack also shares his learnings after studying the 62 known cases of ALS reversals.  This episode is a testament to the relentless pursuit of a brighter tomorrow, where there is a world without ALS.  Listen in and share with a friend.

Hugs, Lorri
