About this episode
How does being disabled actually improve sex? Guest Jonah Berger answers this and more as he chronicles his life living with Charcot Marie Tooth Syndrome, a degenerative disease that affects the peripheral nervous system and severely weakens one's extremities. Faced with the challenges of a debilitating and, in Jonah's words ""worst-named-ever"" disease, Jonah refuses to let his bodily limitations limit his life - or his sense of humor. Learn how a dream about eating butter was the spark that led him on a path where, adorned in leg braces emblazoned with blue flames, he biked across Iowa, climbed the tallest mountain in Colorado, and finished two triathlons, where he came in... last. Listen as Jonah's glass ""half-filled"" perspective eventually overpowers Justin's ""half-spilled"" one.SUPPORT THE SHOWINSTAGRAMFACEBOOKSend us your comments, questions and guest suggestions! noheropod@gmail.comSUPPORT JONAH'S CAUSE:www.cmtausa.org Learn more about your ad choices.
