Episode Synopsis

Send us a textNever in a million years did Andi ever think she'd lace up a pair of boxing gloves. In fact, she was rather disapproving of boxing as a sport. But as soon as she was diagnosed people started saying, "I've heard boxing is a really good thing to do if you have Parkinson's." So Andi tried a class at Rock Steady Boxing -- a program specifically for people with Parkinson's, and boxing is now her favorite thing to do on Saturday mornings. But if boxing is suspected as the cause of Parkinson's in people like Muhammad Ali, why is it also used as a treatment?
