Former England ruby captain Lewis Moody recently revealed he had been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND), and our conversations give an insight into how lives can be overturned by this muscle wasting condition. Dr Mehboob in Canada was diagnosed five years ago and is now paralysed from the neck down. He is joined in conversation by his wife, Sophie, and Evy in Belgium, whose dad died last year 46 years after his diagnosis. MND is incurable. Over time, muscles weaken, affecting movement, speech eating and breathing. People over 50 are most likely to get the disease but there is evidence that elite athletes are also disproportionately affected. We bring together Narayana in India with James and Gillian in the UK, who were all diagnosed in their 30s, to share their experiences of living with the condition.

It's all change for Steve Borthwick's England ahead of the Autumn Nations Series. Tom Willis has announced his move to Bordeaux, ruling him out of international rugby duty, whilst his Saracens peer Noah Caluori burst onto the scene with FIVE tries against Sale.Meanwhile, Dan Cole and Ben Youngs salute the retiring Emily Scarratt, analyse the Leinster v Munster thriller at Croke Park, and pay tribute to their former teammate Lewis Moody following his MND diagnosis.

Here we review ashwagandha a nutritional supplement that has plausible mechanisms for slowing ALS, promising pre-clinical evidence, and a reasonable safety profile.  There is one person with ALS who experienced a reversal of symptoms on a cocktail of treatments that included ashwagandha.  Cases like this are difficult to interpret as there can be multiple explanations for a person experiencing an ALS reversal.  We have not found any other cases suggesting improvement on this product.  We hope to see the data from the completed phase 2 trial soon.

Rugby icon Kevin Sinfield joins Brad to talk purpose, resilience, and leadership that holds up under pressure. He explains how supporting the MND community gave his life a new mission, why he chose seven marathons in seven days, and how he keeps competition healthy, competing with himself while protecting family time. You'll hear practical frameworks: chunking big goals into the next three hours, the “make the start line tomorrow” mantra, and a daily 30-minute habit that compounds. Kevin also breaks down the three traits of leaders people love to follow: humility, high standards, and courage, and the best advice he ever received: to be a champion, be a champion at home first.Subscribe for more conversations on performance, purpose, and building a life that wins the right way.About Kevin Sinfield:Kevin Sinfield is a legendary rugby player and coach whose second act has inspired the world.

Vicky Gomersall is joined by Charlie Wyett, Jonathan Northcroft and The Athletic's Jack Pitt-Brooke to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We begin with looking at the pressure Ange Postecoglou is under.  Jonathan questions whether Forest are worried about league position and want solidity.  Charlie is surprised some of the fans have turned on Ange already.  What's gone so wrong for Ange? We then turn to England news, firstly to Jude Bellingham and the criticism he has received for his lack of presence with the press; Charlie questions whether he would be a good future England Captain but considers Declan Rice a better candidate.  Then to Elliot Anderson, and Jack praises how natural he looks in a position so important to Tuchel's side ahead of the World Cup.  And on the UEFA committee's meeting to revive interest in the International break, we ask whether the no-jeopardy games are too boring.We also look at The Telegraph's story that Strasbourg have turned into a Chelsea feeder-club. Jonathan explains the fans' reason to protest; how multi-club ownership can affect the lesser clubs involved and how the fans believe their identity is being diluted. Next, news that Barcelona want to sign Marcus Rashford on a permanent deal; Jonathan believes £25m is a great price in today's market for the Spanish side, but bad-selling business from Man United.  We move on to Mo Salah's current form; Jack considers last season's Liverpool playing to Salah's strengths, whilst this year transitioning with Slot's new signings and tactics.We then explore the story that Europe's elite clubs answer to nobody as they carve up football's billions.  Jonathan criticises the distribution of funds, with £6billion coming in for Champions League sides, but lesser clubs not getting parity with very little filtering down to clubs missing out.  And finally, we conclude this week's pod on a sombre note, with the sad news that England Rugby star Lewis Moody is diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease.  Running Order:3mins – Ange Under Pressure20mins – England News38mins – Downside of Multi-Club Ownership42mins – Rashford permanent Barca deal?57mins – Europe's elite clubs carve up football's billions61mins – Lewis Moody diagnosed with MND

Gabby and Mark answer all of your questions from building their 'dream athlete' and their favourite Match of The Day moment so far, to England winning a home Rugby World Cup and the Ryder Cup crowds.Plus, we look back at this week on The Sports Agents. Double Olympic champion and Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas joined us in the studio to talk about how recent pro-Palestinan protests might change the future of cycling. Former Bournemouth Chairman, Jeff Mostyn, discussed saving the club and whether Eddie Howe is England manager material. And after former England rugby captain Lewis Moody announced his motor neurone disease diagnosis Professor Dame Pamela Shaw explained whether or not there is a link between exercise and MND.

Motor neurone disease is a devasting condition that's recently come to prominence in the media with the diagnosis of former English rugby captain Lewis Moody. Another famous person who suffered from the condition was Stephen Hawkins. What is motor neurone disease? It's a progressive nerve disease. It damages and kills nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain that control muscle movement in the body. The damaged nerve cells mean the brain can no longer signal muscles in the body. Muscles slowly lose the ability to function. Why does it occur? The exact cause is not fully understood. It's thought that up to 10% of cases are inherited and related to a patient's genes, while 90% are random with no clear genetic cause. Several things may be important: Abnormal accumulation protein in the nerve cells, destroying them. A possible inflammatory or immune system malfunction. Possible environmental factors like exposure to heavy metals or pesticides, however there's no clear evidence. What are the symptoms? It's difficult to diagnose initially with subtle changes: clumsiness in hands, slurred speech, tiredness. As time goes on, the main issue is weakness in the arms, legs, and hands – the person gradually losing the ability to use them. Speech and swallowing become difficult. Breathing problems as the muscles around lungs weaken. There can be mood swings. Can it be treated? Unfortunately, it is incurable. On average, patients live 2 to 5 years. Stephen Hawkins was an example of someone who actually lived with it for much longer – he was diagnosed at age 22 and lived to 76, which is very unusual. There are some experimental drugs that may slow progression that are being looked at. However, most treatment is supportive – trying to improve the person's quality of life.

Gloucester's first half horror show ended up costing them despite a heroic comeback in the second half against Northampton. Trailing at one point 31-0, the Cherry and Whites ended up leading the former Champions by a point going into the final 10 minutes only to lose from a late penalty kick. We discuss the game, the overall disappointment and how the second half performance can't cover up the deep concern around injuries, defence and the breakdown woes. The lads also touch on the incredibly sad and tragic news that England World Cup winner and former Captain, Lewis Moody has been diagnosed with MND.Ed PriceJim HarleyJames Eastwood (Snowy)Russ BrookesCherry Jam is proud to be sponsored by PGT LLP

DiscourseSupport the show, and get way more fascinating insight than the Bros deliver on the pod! Everything in Spotlight is discussed, dissected and debated on Discourse, and membership is judge a small monthly pledge awayShow notesIt's a Bro-Science discussion today, as listener David inspired debate with a post on his epic Zone 2 indoor ride, and got us thinking - how do we spot Bro Science? Is it all bad? What are the alarm bells that should make us cautious, and how can we learn from the experiences and anecdotes of other people while staying credible. That's our Center Stage topic (47:45).Before that, we whip around the world for a Discourse Digest (1:38) that looks at NCAA 'trafficking' in Kenyan athletes, a win-win, but also maybe a loss for some. We talk Caster Semenya's off-now-on case to fight for inclusion into women's sport, and explore why it's about male advantage, not natural advantage. We also visit rugby, where head impacts and concussions are the focus of a big new study, a new player load guideline, and a link with neurodegenerative diseases in the wake of sad news of Lewis Moody's MND diagnosis.In Ross Replies (1:05:45), Gareth asks about training when fatigued, inviting discussion about the body's physiological resource budget, and how we spend it on stress as opposed to recovery. Listener Lens (1:11:41) fields another listener question, this time from Gianni, about the importance, or necessity, of breakfast before training. And Finally (1:14:52), Tua Tagavailoa has been advised that to prevent concussions, he needs more carbs. It's an idea detached from both reality and theory, but we discuss how it might have come about, and how ideas without basis become entrenched by unquestioning media and public.LinkChris Chavez post about NCAA RecruitingDW article on Semenya's legal caseThe entertaining LetsRun article on Tokyo 2025The large NZ study on neurodegenerative disease in rugby playersWorld Rugby's Load GuidelinesFormer guest James Smoliga's article on Tua Tagavailoa's sugar-concussion prevention belief Hosted on Acast.

2003 World Cup winner Lewis Moody has announced that he has motor neurone disease, so, Alex Lowe and Stuart Barnes join Alfie Reynolds to pay tribute to a great man and brilliant player. Tom Kershaw also discusses his investigation for The Times earlier in the year where he looked into the links between elite sportspeople and MND. They also look back on the second weekend of the PREM and ask whether Newcastle were correct to part ways with Steve Diamond and if it's too early to view Bath and Saracens as the best two clubs in the division. It was the opening weekend for the CHAMP which saw the return of Worcester Warriors, their back-rower Matt Kvesic chats to Alfie and Alex. And, Stuart explains why 2025 was the best Rugby Championship we've ever seen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A very special event that will raise money and awareness for the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association will take place in Cregmore Golf Club from the 4th to the 6th of September.  The event will be played in a Champagane Scramble Format and already has seen incredible interest with Saturday already sold out and limited spots on the Friday and Sunday.  Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a progressive neurological condition that attacks the motor neurones, or nerves, in the brain and spinal cord. This means messages gradually stop reaching the muscles, which leads to weakness and wasting. MND can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. However, not all symptoms necessarily happen to everyone and it is unlikely they will all develop at the same time, or in any specific order. The cause of MND is not known and sadly can strike people of all ages. There is also no cure. However, symptoms can be managed to help the person achieve the best possible quality of life. Sean Brennan is the organiser of the event and he spoke to George McDonagh on Over The Line.  

This episode follows the powerful and unexpectedly uplifting story of Jake Popyura, a musician and multi-instrumentalist in the indie rock band Supermilk, who was diagnosed with ALS at just 38. Rather than despair, Jake felt relief—finally understanding the cause behind years of unexplained symptoms. As his physical abilities shift, Jake and his bandmates have chosen adaptation over retreat, pouring their energy into their recent album Lazy Teenage Boasts. Balancing terminal illness, mental health challenges, and a relentless creative drive, Jake leans into dark humor and online community to navigate the journey. His story is a testament to resilience, reinvention, and finding meaning through music in the face of life's harshest realities.  Thanks for listening.  Hugs, LorriFollow and see what's coming next: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn.

Motor Neurone Disease is a condition that affects nerves found in the brain and spinal cord which tell our muscles what to do. The disease is life shortening and there is no cure. One listener, Diana Keys, was diagnosed in May 2023. She tells us about her experience and asks why does representation of MND in the media skew so heavily towards men? Diana is joined by Dame Pamela Shaw, an academic neurologist and world-leading researcher in MND.Listener Sally Ruffles describes herself as a 68 year old woman with one daughter and no grandchildren. She got in touch with Woman's Hour for Listener Week  to say: "There's this common assumption that having grandchildren is always a wonderful thing. But nobody really stops to think that not having them might also be okay—or even a positive thing for some people."  She joins Nuala with her daughter Hannah, who persuaded her mother to write to Woman's Hour, to discuss why it can be difficult to talk about not being a grandparent.  We talk to women living full time on the UK's waterways. Charlotte Ashman is an artist and print maker and Jo Bell is a writer and former UK Canal Laureate. They tell us about their lives, their work and the pros and cons of narrowboat living.Have you ever thought about going back to school? Recent graduates Sue Goldsmith & Rahat Ismail both returned to studying later in life. They join Nuala to discuss what took them back to education and the value of lifelong learning.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Emma Pearce

In this episode, Rosie Gill-Moss speaks with Colleen Clarke, a widow from Australia who shares her deeply personal story of losing her husband Steve to motor neurone disease (MND). Through a candid and honest conversation, they explore the realities of caregiving, the emotional toll of terminal illness, and the resilience required to parent a young child while facing unimaginable loss. This powerful episode touches on motor neurone disease, grief, widowhood, parenting through terminal illness, and the long arc of healing.Colleen and Steve met as teenagers and spent over three decades together. Their love story, which began with a pub dance and grew through years of shared life, took a devastating turn when Steve was diagnosed with MND—also known as ALS. Colleen recounts how the illness slowly robbed Steve of his ability to speak and move, and how she shifted from being his partner to his primary carer. She explains the uncertainty that surrounds MND diagnosis, the slow progression of symptoms, and how the family held on to normality for their daughter, Sarah, for as long as possible.Listeners hear how Sarah was conceived after years of IVF and a surprising encounter with Brazilian jungle herbs—an unexpected yet joyful part of Colleen's story. But the joy of becoming a mother was followed just five years later by the slow, cruel advance of MND. Colleen explains the emotional and logistical challenges that came with managing a terminal illness at home: palliative care planning, home adaptations, medical equipment, and navigating grief in real-time. Her experience highlights just how fragmented the support system can be, but also shows the difference strong community networks and dedicated carers can make.As Steve's health declined over three years, Colleen found strength in peer support, online communities, and palliative care teams who helped maintain his comfort and dignity. She also reflects on the communication barriers that emerged as Steve lost his ability to speak and how they found new ways to stay emotionally connected—including using an alphabet board and pre-recorded messages. Her story underscores the emotional complexity of being both wife and caregiver and the internal conflict that arises when love and duty become indistinguishable.Colleen also shares the impact Steve's death had on Sarah, who was just eight at the time. They discuss the delicate balance of protecting a child while being honest, and how Sarah eventually returned to education after years of disengagement. Now 18, Sarah is pursuing a degree in film and media—testament to her strength and the care her mother put into helping her navigate grief on her own terms.This conversation offers rare insight into life with MND and the long road of widowhood that follows. Colleen's story is a vivid account of emotional survival, practical adaptation, and the enduring strength of mother-daughter connection. Her openness about depression, the challenges of solo parenting, and her cautious optimism for the future provides real-world understanding for anyone dealing with terminal illness, bereavement, or solo motherhood.Key takeaways from this episode include the unpredictable progression of motor neurone disease, the importance of early palliative care involvement, the hidden toll on carers, and how children experience grief differently. It's also a testament to how human connection—through peer support groups, counselling, and shared experience—can anchor someone through the darkest seasons of life.Whether you're supporting someone through illness, grieving a partner, or parenting alone, Colleen's story will stay with you long after the episode ends.

The emotional aftermath of losing someone to ALS is a journey rarely discussed but vitally important to understand. Caroline, Jill, Jenny, and Deb—four remarkable women who lost husbands and a sister to ALS—share their paths through grief toward finding purpose and even joy again.  Years after their losses, these women formed "Antiques Roadshow for ALS," a cycling team of women over 60 who donned pearls, vintage clothing, and tutus while raising over $28,000 for ALS TDI's  research. Their stories reveal the complex reality of grief—how it never truly ends but evolves into something you learn to carry alongside new experiences and memories.  These women candidly discuss experiencing depression, anxiety, and PTSD years after their losses, normalizing these ongoing struggles while demonstrating that healing doesn't mean forgetting.  For those currently caregiving or recently bereaved, their stories offer a glimpse into a future where community, purpose, and even joy remain possible.

On our latest podcast, we chat about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 5th and the 9th May 2025 (Episodes #11,561 - 11,566) A jolly May Day trip to the park takes a heartbreaking turn for Eileen this week when Julie sadly passes away. Though we've been critical in the past of Corrie bringing back this character just to kill her off, we have to admit that it's been an absolute joy seeing her on our screens again - however briefly. Pretty much everything surrounding the aftermath of her death gets a big thumbs down from us, though, from Brian jumping to the wild conclusion that Eileen bumped her off to George's farcical embalming fiasco on Friday. Also this week, Jenny bids farewell to  the Rovers (an even greater tragedy than Julie's death as far as we're concerned!), an intriguing past is teased between Mick and Kit, and James returns to the UK to collect Laila - but is Dee-Dee ready to let her go? Next up, it's The Kabin, and we chat about how Paul's MND storyline has inspired one Corrie fan to take on an incredible challenge to raise money for charity over in Australia. We finish things off with more of your listener feedback. Street Talk - 00:10:06 The Kabin - 02:25:33 Listener Questions - 02:37:34
