197. UVB Light Therapy for MS w/ Kathy Reagan Young & John MacMahon


Listen Later

I have two guests with me on this episode, which is really exciting because one guest is going to share the science behind a specific type of therapy, and the other guest is someone who has been using this therapy, and she is going to share all of the benefits that she's noticed from it! On today's episode, John educates us on UVB light therapy for multiple sclerosis and Kathy shares her experience using it.

Kathy's bio: Kathy Reagan Young is a prominent patient advocate and the founder of  FUMSnow.com. She has become a leading voice in the patient advocacy space, driven by her personal experience with Multiple Sclerosis.
Kathy's journey as a patient advocate began when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2008. She quickly realized the impact that chronic illness can have on a person's life and became determined to make a difference. In 2010, she founded FUMSnow.com, a website dedicated to providing resources and support for people with Multiple Sclerosis. In 2015, she launched The FUMS Podcast Show - a companion to her website where she interviews MS experts and inspirational MS patients to bring information, inspiration, and motivation for living your best life with MS.

John's bio:  I have been fortunate to have spent my career on early-stage medical device start-ups. I am a graduate of Stanford University with a master’s in electrical engineering and a bachelor’s in physics from UC-Santa Cruz. At Stanford, I was fortunate to be in the penultimate class of the BioDesign program that brings together clinicians and engineers to identify clinical needs and innovate to improve patient lives and ease the burden on clinicians.
