5. Living Limitlessly with Lupus: What it's like beating the odds, overcoming chronic pain, joining the NYPD and living life to the fullest with Christine Galgano

On episode 5 we are joined by Christine Galgano. Christine is a 30 year old NYPD officer who loves BJJ and CrossFit. She has always lived an active lifestyle until one day she physically couldn't. Christine was diagnosed with a rare form of Lupus that was eating away at her muscles. The doctors said if it wasn't for Christine's athletic build before the onset of the disease she would have died. From that point on Christine knew she had a dedicate her life to fitness. Her first thought was to serve her county in the United States Army, however, with her diagnosis that was no longer an option. When one of her brothers (she is a triplet) mentioned that the NYPD was opening up their test Christine hopped right on board and began the process of becoming a police officer.

On this episode Christine talks about her journey of being diagnosed with Lupus and how she decided to not let the diagnosis define her. She is living her life to the fullest and will be headed to Africa next month and hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro.
