My family and I have been looking forward to moving into our next home for several years. This year, we're finally getting that opportunity to make that dream come true. But it's not exactly a dream come true when it comes to managing MS. We're moving in the middle of the summer - where the daily forecast is blistering heat and extreme humidity. In today's episode I’m sharing the realities of managing a summer move with MS. It's not just about packing boxes; it's about facing any daunting project and wondering how you’re going to get through without wrecking your health.

Do you ever feel like the summer heat is out to get you? I used to love everything about summer - the hot sun beating down on me when I was at the pool or on the beach and filling the long sunny days with as many activities as possible - then MS came into my world… and with it the heat intolerance. It can make the summer sun feel unbearable. I’m willing to bet that you can relate all too well. Today, I’m sharing some tips that I’ve learned along the way that have really helped me stay cool and keep my energy up. Let’s dive in and make summer enjoyable again.

It’s the eight year anniversary of my MS diagnosis. Is that something to celebrate?

It’s certainly not a happy milestone in my life. But it definitely was life-changing, so ignoring it doesn’t feel right either.

Today I’m diving into why this day holds so much significance and how I view it.

It was a migraine that led me to the neurologist and ultimately to my diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. I was getting excruciating headaches when I was working out. 

Something was off. 

I went for the MRI and at 8:30 on New Years Eve 2015, my doctor called with the results. You have lesions on the brain that look like MS. 

Turns out, I wasn't alone. 

Studies suggest that up to 30-40% of people with MS also experience migraine.

It makes sense, both MS and migraines are both neurological conditions so, they share some common ground. And they both involve inflammatory pathways in the body.

But the greatest question is how… How do you live with not one but two unpredictable, chronic conditions that prevent you from living your daily life? 

That’s what I’m sharing today. In honor of Migraine Awareness Month, I’m sharing the tips and strategies that I’ve learned from decades of debilitating migraines. What you need to know about conventional medicine and what you need to know about diet and lifestyle. 

Let’s dive in!

What if I told you there was something that could reduce fatigue, improve cognitive function, and help you poop better too? Would you be interested? And what if I also told you that you had immediate access to this remedy AND it’s free. Yup… WATER can do all that.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing tips for improving your hydration without having to pee every 30 minutes. This is especially important during the hot summer months, so let’s get started.
