Welcome To Vitality Pod!
Vitality Pod is my attempt to increase the database of knowledge on muscular dystrophy. My goal is to help anyone with the condition or without it find ways to live healthier and better lives. All the knowledge written on these blogs are from my personal experiences and have helped make me feel amazing despite my condition. I hope that some of the information on the website can help you in some way.
