On this episode of Free Thinking, Montel talks with Jimmy Choi, a 46-year-old endurance athlete and Parkinson’s Advocate. He received a diagnosis of Young Onset Parkinson’s at only 27 years old and doctors told him that he would need to use a wheelchair in just 15 to 20 years. After extensive research, he found that exercise was the only treatment proven to slow or even halt the progression of Parkinson’s Disease. Since then, he has used fitness to battle his illness and collected an incredibly impressive record of being a four-season veteran of American Ninja Warrior and has completed one ultra-marathon, 16 marathons, 100 half marathons, numerous 5Ks, 10Ks, and triathlons. He and his wife have raised close to $500,000 for Parkinson’s research. He is best known for showcasing feats of athleticism on his social media to serve as inspiration for his fans and those facing similar health challenges.
