Austin observes from 11+ years of coaching that go-getters who are 'absolutely slain in their lives' become entirely different people as months, years, and treatments stack without success

Austin emphasizes rejecting labels like 'geriatric,' 'poor responder,' or 'difficult case' that medical professionals assign
