When I was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2016, one of the first books that I read was The Wahls Protocol. In it, Dr. Terry Wahls, shares her journey living with multiple sclerosis and how she used diet and lifestyle to reverse her symptoms of Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. Today she has an update for […]

I remember the first Thanksgiving after I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2016.  It was the first holiday since: It was a lot.  And I hadn’t told my extended family about my diagnosis.  Needless to say, I was carrying a lot of emotions that day.  I just wanted things to feel normal.  But how […]

How does it affect you? Well, it’s common with Multiple Sclerosis. Lucky us, right? Prior to getting diagnosed with MS, I never thought about my brain […]
