For the 50th episode of the Joel Nelson Podcast, we are joined by the fabulous Ali DiGiacomo!

Diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis at 15 and then hit with severe Rheumatoid Arthritis at 22, Ali went from competitive swimming to giving up fitness entirely. But a decade later, she decided to fight back, one workout at a time.

Whether you're struggling with chronic pain, looking for a fresh perspective on fitness, or simply in need of a dose of inspiration, Ali's RA story is a must-listen.
