Welcome to another episode of Gut Heroes! Today I look at the curious story of Leonard Trask. It provides possibly the first documented account of what we now know to be ankylosing spondylitis in the US.

In this podcast, I look at:

✔️ About Leonard Trask and his tragic story
✔️ My highlights from the book and what we can take from them
✔️ The deluge of 'quack' treatments poor Leonard tried to beat his AS
✔️ Why the expectation effect, or placebo, was not enough
✔️ Why there's so much to be grateful for
