Last week, I went viral on Instagram. A carousel I posted reached more than 65,000 people. More than 1,500 people shared it. Because for the first time, they had words for something they’d been struggling to explain for years… what it actually feels like to live with MS in the summer. Simple words to explain […]
FEatured Post:
Most MS advice is either outdated, overwhelming, or straight-up impossible to follow.
I’m Alene, a Functional Nutrition Practitioner and your MS sister. I’m here to give you strategies that actually work in real life. Think practical MS nutrition, habits you can stick with, and mindset shifts that change everything. Because you don’t need more noise.
You need results.
Tired of advice that doesn’t actually help?
This MS blog is different.
Ten years ago, when I heard the words “You have Multiple Sclerosis,” I was terrified. I was 36 years old, in what was supposed to be the prime of my life. I was starting my nutrition coaching practice, dating, and ready to get married, buy a house, and have a baby. I had worked insanely […]
The MRI results are in. And I’m incredibly grateful to tell you that after 10 years of living with Multiple Sclerosis, my MRI remains stable. No new lesions. No active lesions. No evidence that the disease is actively progressing. It’s the news every woman with MS hopes to hear. And I celebrated. But after I […]
Ten years after my Relapsing Remitting MS diagnosis, MRI results still scare me. No matter how stable I’ve been, there’s always a part of me that wonders: What if they find something? A new MS lesion. New activity. The beginning of progression. Will it affect my ability to walk? To see? To think clearly? To […]
Every flicker of a symptom. Every MRI. Every “what if it gets worse?” If you live with MS, you know that question all too well. And it makes sense. When you live with uncertainty, your brain naturally becomes future-oriented. Every symptom becomes a calculation: We tell ourselves we’re just being realistic. Prepared. Responsible. But recently, […]
I think one of the hardest parts of living with MS is that mentally, you still feel like yourself. You still have dreams. Goals. Ambition. A million ideas. A long to-do list. But your body? Your body can’t keep up. And that disconnect is crushing. Lately, I’ve been realizing just how much of my life […]
When everyone else unplugs for a holiday weekend, I feel the pressure to do more. Three whole days? That’s three days to catch up. When the rest of the world slows down, I wanted to optimize. Finally do everything I haven’t had the time or energy to do. If you’re living with MS, you probably […]
I recorded a podcast episode that uncomfortable last week. The kind of episode where I admitted regrets, got honest about the pressure I’ve been putting on myself for years, and finally realized how much of my life has felt like a fight with myself. This is the most honest conversation I’ve had yet about burnout, […]
If you’ve been newly diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, you’re probably sitting there thinking… what just happened to my life? Your mind is racing – Googling MS symptoms, progression, diet, treatment – trying to make sense of it all… and somehow ending up with even more questions than answers. An MS diagnosis is not easy. I […]
Living with MS often means sleep doesn’t come easily. Maybe your legs won’t settle, your mind won’t stop racing, or you wake up exhausted even after a full night in bed. If you’ve experienced this, you’re not alone, sleep problems are incredibly common for people living with multiple sclerosis. But sleep is more than just […]
It’s mid-February. And you’ve already convinced yourself you blew it. The workout routine didn’t stick.The nutrition plan fell apart.January became more proof that you just can’t keep up. Sound familiar? Good. Because that’s exactly where the guilt ends. When Your Plans Don’t Match Real Life The last time I recorded a podcast episode before this […]
Thanksgiving is the biggest food holiday of the year and if you’re living with MS, that can trigger more than just cravings. It often comes with stress, second-guessing, and that dreaded question: “What can I eat without paying for it later?” Maybe you’re tempted to just say “screw it” and start fresh in January. But […]
