Muscular Dystrophy And Making Music || Nate

02-07-2023 • 1 hr 13 mins

Real stories, told by real people.

We've a new episode, and a new GIANTS AMONGST US. Today Nate joins us, and he's got a story to tell. Nate's a musician, who's been in love with music for as long as he can remember. At an early age, he was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. With there being no real treatment or medication for his condition, he was prescribed pain killers at one point, and found himself heavily addicted for 13 years. Nate talks about the point where he finally decided to kick the habit (cold turkey), and his growing discouragement with Western medicine.

There's also 2016, where Nate was diagnosed with lung cancer - "the middle & bottom lobes of my right lung removed during a 9 hour surgery. Luckily the surgeons got all of the cancer out and I didn’t need chemo or radiation." It's not the size but the fight in the dog, and Nate's got plenty of fight in him. Despite his condition, he's still ROCKIN', he's still ROLLIN' and he's without a doubt one of the GIANTS AMONGST US. From acupuncture sessions, to hot spring waters, floating tanks, and an investment in his own sauna. Plus, the loving support of his wife and kids. Nate is still enjoying life, and doing what he loves, and that's create MUSIC.

It's not all doom and gloom, and he's proof of that. Check out his new album, just released - BAD PART OF TOWN https://natermusic.com/shop/ He plays all the instruments, writes, sings, produces, mixes and masters his own music. He's a one man band folks!!

If you enjoyed the Show, give it a review and share it with someone you think might find value in it. And if you appreciated hearing from Nate and his story, stop by his website to shoot him a line and check out what he's doing over there. I'm sure he'd be happy to hear back from you.

PEACE!!
