Meet Keith Day, The Neuropathy Warrior—a dedicated thought leader with two decades of personal experience battling peripheral neuropathy. In his ten years as a speaker, Keith has emerged as a beacon of hope, educating and consulting with medical providers and patients alike.

As the founder of Neuropathy Truth, Keith focuses on Information, Education, Inspiration, and Motivation, believing that an informed patient makes optimal healthcare decisions. Bridging the gap between medical jargon and patient experience, he advocates for a holistic understanding of neuropathy.

Keith's story is one of resilience and transformation. Neuropathy, a silent thief, attacks sensory nerve fibres, compromising blood flow and robbing individuals of basic daily tasks and independence, often leading to depression. He highlights the crucial distinction between sick care and healthcare, challenging the reliance on pills as a vicious cycle. Keith sheds light on neuropathy triggers, including chemotherapy and diabetes, advocating for the 93% of chemotherapy patients affected and the 400 million people worldwide grappling with neuropathy.

His mission extends beyond awareness to instill hope and faith in neuropathy patients, drawing from his personal struggles that led to job loss, family strain, and loss of independence.

As a podcast guest, Keith Day offers a unique blend of personal experience, expert knowledge, and a transformative narrative that engages and inspires.
