Today's episode focuses on the incredible story of Celine Dion, a woman who has captivated the world with her powerful voice and unwavering strength. Recently, Celine revealed her diagnosis of Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare and debilitating neurological disorder that affects only a handful of people worldwide. As I explore her journey, I also break down the science behind this mysterious condition, drawing from the latest research to better understand what it means for Celine and the many others who live with it. Join me as I shed light on this rare disorder, celebrate Celine's resilience, and discuss how she continues to inspire despite facing such a profound challenge.
