Today’s guest is Tony Jacobsen who is a coach, author and disability advocate!
He discusses his journey with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder causing brittle bones. Diagnosed at 18 months, Tony has experienced over 75 bone breaks and undergone 12 surgeries. He emphasized the importance of nutrition, fitness, and mindset in managing OI. Tony's coaching program, Unbreakable Body, helps individuals with disabilities through virtual workouts and personal coaching.

The podcast cover for The TyePod Episode S2E74, titled “Don’t call it a comeback!”, shows a warm outdoor landscape with grassy fields, rocks, and tall autumn trees beneath a softly clouded sky. A bold white banner across the top reads “THE TYE POD.” Below it are three figures: Dr. Tye Martin on the left, smiling with glasses and a beard; a cartoon avatar of Dr. Tye in a power wheelchair at the center; and guest Tony Jacobsen on the right, smiling and wearing a black hat with the word “UNBREAKABLE.” At the bottom, a white banner displays the episode title along with the handles @Dr.TyeDMartin and @IAmTonyJacobsen.
