From Wheelchair To Weightlifting: Fighting MS With Strength and Resilience
Click Here for a FREE 15 min Zoom Consultation With Brad:
In this podcast interview between Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness Hacks and Kim Rahir from Fabulous In 15, Kim shares her inspiring journey from being struck down by Guillain-Barré syndrome to living with multiple sclerosis (MS) and how weightlifting transformed her life.
At 45, Kim thought she had achieved her life's pinnacle with a successful career and three children. However, she was suddenly paralyzed from the hip down due to Guillain-Barré syndrome. After a lengthy recovery, she was diagnosed with MS, a lifelong condition. Determined to regain control, Kim turned to weightlifting for both physical and mental strength.
She embraced heavy lifting and experienced significant improvements in her physical and mental well-being. Despite ongoing challenges with MS, Kim found stability and confidence through her fitness journey. She emphasizes the importance of muscular strength for overall health and believes in its potential to positively impact immune system function.
Kim's story highlights the transformative power of exercise, resilience, and maintaining a positive outlook in the face of adversity. Her journey serves as an inspiration for others, especially women over 40, facing similar health challenges.
