Danielle Bourgeon shares her personal insights on nutrition for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and common misconceptions surrounding this condition. She discusses the fear of feeling overwhelmed when getting diagnosed, and the pitfalls of trying to do all the things in a perfectionist way to try to “cure” the disease or stop its progression. We also touch on the dangers of orthorexic thinking and restrictive dietary approaches for MS, and what warning signs you can look for when trying to implement nutrition for multiple sclerosis.
