Today on MS understood we chat with Bridget Botelho. She is a certified integrative health practitioner who helps women with autoimmune issues intuitively rebalance their bodies to reclaim their energy and power. After her own personal journey living with Multiple Sclerosis she became inspired to be a health practitioner. Today we talk about supporting ourselves through a holistic approach, how everyone is so different in what their body needs and how Bridget uses holistic modalities and takes pharmaceutical medication for her MS. Bridget talks about how long it took her to develop acceptance after being diagnosed at 17, and shares an incredible story about going to therapy that I found quite relatable and compelling.

Before we get into todays episode, I wanted to share something that I'm super passionate about. For over 10 years I have been sharing simple living tips and tricks online. Initially our simple living adventure started because of our need to be budget conscious, and continued because of our passion for the environment.
