She was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s disease. After becoming Jankovic’s patient, he suggested exercise, along with a treatment plan, to help slow progression and control symptoms such as tremor. Through his support Toepperwein took on this new challenge and excelled beyond what she had imagined. She not only improved her symptoms and overall health, but competed on the nationally televised show American Ninja on NBC. Tens of thousands auditioned for the chance to compete to finish a physically challenging obstacle course, but only a small few are strong enough to make it to the televised round. She has competed again and has advanced to be included in a second appearance on the show.
The results from the initial double-blind-placebo-controlled trial of botulinum toxin conducted by Jankovic led to the approval of Botox® by the FDA. Due to his efforts over the years, Botox® is now regularly used in the treatment of hundreds of different disorders.
Jankovic also is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research and is the principal investigator of the Parkinson Progression Marker Initiative (PPMI) at Baylor. PPMI is an international study supported by the Michael J. Fox Foundation to identify biomarkers of Parkinson’s disease progression. He also serves on dozens of other scientific national and international advisory boards.
His career isn’t the only part of his story that proves his drive for success. As a teen living in Czechoslovakia, Jankovic visited extended family in the U.S. and after much thought and contemplation, he applied for political asylum. His decision to move to the U.S. and leave his family behind was helped by his dream of becoming a doctor. The chances of him attending medical school were slim in his home country due to his religious background.
