Listen Later

In this episode of The MSing Link Podcast, I’m thrilled to welcome Dr. Kelly Rich, neuroscientist at Harvard Medical School, for a deep dive into how multiple sclerosis (MS) might accelerate brain aging—and what the latest research reveals. 

We explore the connection between MS, cellular aging, and innovative new therapies like cellular reprogramming that could help protect and rejuvenate your nervous system. Dr. Rich shares practical insights on supporting brain health, resilience, and ways to slow neurological decline. 

Whether you’re looking to reduce MS fatigue, improve mobility, or boost your cognition, this episode is packed with expert advice, empowering exercises, and actionable tools for living better with MS. Tune in for an inspiring discussion on MS treatments, neuroscience, anti-inflammatory strategies, and hope for future breakthroughs in MS care!
