Do you feel like you missed the boat on New Year's resolutions? Maybe you were too burned out from the holidays or you already fell off the bandwagon. Or maybe New Years resolutions aren't your thing, you're just simply looking for a fresh start to eating better and to manage your diagnosis. If so, Season 3 of My MS Podcast is for you!

And I want to kick it off on a personal note. I want to share with you how I'm resetting after I got derailed from my routine. Here's a look at how I reset when I feel like I've fallen off the bandwagon.

Because let's be honest, life can be really hard sometimes. And when you're living with a chronic illness like MS, you don't ever get a break from it. Yet, life still throws you curveballs. So let's talk about how to get back up when life knocks you down.

Happy Holidays to all my fellow MS sisters and brothers. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the support you've given me since we started My MS Podcast. I also want to wish you and your family a happy holiday season.

When it comes to eating during the holidays, we immediately think of the holiday parties and big family dinners because those are the events with the big spread of food.

They're the moments that you may struggle to choose the healthy option. But what if I told you that eating certain foods BEFORE you even get to the party can help to make better choices at the party.

And eating certain foods after the party will help you recover faster from a food hangover.

Listen in before your next holiday party.

Can alcohol trigger MS symptoms or even a flare?

Is there a "safe" amount to drink? Is one alcohol better to have than another?

These questions may be popping up this holiday season when you tend to be around alcohol more often. So, do you sip or skip a holiday beverage?

Today's episode isn't just your generic talk about moderation.

That's important, but you've already heard that message.

Today, I'm sharing research, recommendations and even some personal stories, so you can make an informed decision that works for you this holiday season.

Following the Wahls Protocol is hard on any day let alone the holidays.

There's so much good food around. Everyone is making their favorite dishes and it can easily feel like you're stuck with the same smoothie and salad that you eat every other day throughout the year. You don't get to indulge in the cookies, candy, pies and the spreads of delicious food.

So, is it really worth it?

Or should you just "enjoy the holidays" and start back once the New Year rolls around. If this sounds like the ongoing debate in your head, you're not alone, and this message is for you.

Let's talk about strategies to stay motivated to follow the Wahls Protocol so you can keep feeling your best all season long.

Today I have a special treat for you!

Dr. Wahls offered to come on My MS Podcast to share her story and her latest research. She even answered some of your burning questions, like how do I decide on a treatment plan when I'm newly diagnosed and how do I start the protocol when it feels so overwhelming at first?

When I was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2016, Dr. Wahls' book was one of the first that I read to create my wellness journey with MS.

Well, I became so passionate about her work that I got certified as a Wahls Protocol Health Practitioner and dedicated my practice to helping individuals adopt the Wahls Protocol.

And we see it time and time again how food can in fact help us live a better life with Multiple Sclerosis.

So let's dive into this special episode and hear directly from Dr. Wahls.

Thanksgiving is tomorrow. One of the biggest food events of the year.

You got the turkey, stuffing, cornbread, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, pumpkin pie, apple pie… it's like the feast of gluten, dairy and sugar… all the things we're trying to avoid to best manage MS. That's hard.

That's hard physically, mentally, emotionally - and it's hard socially. Will other people make comments or judgements about what you're eating or not eating?

Will they ask questions that you're not prepared to answer? Will you feel separated from the family because you're not eating off the same plate as them?

I want to have a little heart to heart with you before we show up at the dinner table tomorrow.

And I want to share some tips with you to navigate the social side of eating.
