Overcoming setbacks in college is possible, and Dr. Al is here to tell you how! Dr. Allen Lycka is acknowledged as one of the leading cosmetic dermatologists in the world. A pioneer in his field, he helped develop several new technologies and has spoken at podiums worldwide. In 2003, his life changed when he was misdiagnosed with ALS (formerly known as Lou Gehrig's disease), and given six months to live. After fighting the diagnosis, he is here today as a result of his courage and determination. Having been given a "golden ticket," Dr. Lycka used his experience to co-author the book "The Secrets To Living A Fantastic Life," with an introduction by #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Jack Canfield, author of "Chicken Soup For The Soul" and "The Success Principles." He is an internationally sought-after keynote speaker, a mentor and trainer, living a fantastic life and sharing his journey with others.
