After being hit by a car and left in a coma, Vincent Van Den Broeck had only a 1% chance of surviving without major damage.
In Episode 84 of the I Choose Health Podcast, Vincent tells host Stefan Lessie how he relearned to walk, completed rehabilitation in two and a half months instead of the expected two years, and transformed his recovery into the Until It’s Done movement. Vincent also shares practical lessons about resilience, mental strength, support systems, health, daily structure, overcoming adversity, and pursuing goals that feel impossible.
