Andy Lamont, A personal trainer in Sydney Australia with over 20 years of experience in the industry. A former NSW state and Australian bodybuilding champion. In 2012 Andy suffered a severe cervical spine injury which led to him stopping competitive bodybuilding and led the overuse of Nurofen to ease the pain. This use of Nurofen led subsequently to kidney failure.  Although feeling tired and not quite right continued to work until he ended up in ICU with extremely high potassium and creatinine levels he was finally placed on dialysis. He has now been on dialysis for 2 1/2 years and continues his training business around his treatment sessions.
