The MS Show

Trevor and his wife started the MS Gym in 2017

He talks about NeuroPlasticity - ability to adapt and find other pathways to develop new pathways.

Also uses eye movements and the vestibular system with an emphasis on a 'brain-out' (rather than 'body-in') approach. It integrates the 3 systems - sensory, integration and motor - to create a nervous system that works well.

Find the 'Minimum Effective Dose' for movement - the correct dose for your MS ensuring you don't overdose or underdose on exercise. Trevor has seen how the community he has built around the MS Gym has helped people, and given support when they face challenging periods.

Visualisation and its benefits there are 2 types: Deliberate Practise - which is for a specific purpose; walk better and Deep Practise - which involves taking the workout beyond completing each rep: connecting with each and every movement: interoception (where we begin to tune into what we are feeling inside our body as we are exercising). Using visualisation helps because the brain cannot differentiate between actually doing the activity and visualising it.

Trevor shares his beliefs around our MS motivation .. hope which is backed up by proof, science, theory and education to enable people to become a student of their MS body. Taking action and responsibility using the tools and resources helps to give back control. To help counteract your prognosis and give you a sense of empowerment back.

Dom set up his fitness training company in 2008. Prior to this, his mum (who lived with MS) had encountered a massive debilitating relapse. His training to work with people with disabilities came too late to benefit his mum, but Dom felt inspired to share his knowledge with as many people as possible after her death in 2012.

His business has evolved from face-to-face clients of ALL abilities to predominantly disabled clients to wholly online training since the beginning of 2020.

He has a predominance of clients with Multiple Sclerosis - at all stages of their MS journey … from newly diagnosed to MS veteran wheelchair users. He also works with clients with other conditions that make exercising difficult - endometriosis; chronic fatigue, M.E., cancer recovery, Parkinsons, stroke recovery ….

Dom talks about his approaches to training his client and his ways to motivate people who live with progressive illness. He has client testimonials showing improved mobility, overcoming fatigue and weight reduction.

Introduction video from Bron to new Facebook group member.

Laura (and team)'s research in animal models of Multiple Sclerosis has revealed some interesting benefits of diet - specifically intermittent fasting.

This research progressed to a small-group human pilot study which produced outcomes akin to the animal study. It identified that intermittent fasting, if done under the observation of a dietician, is safe for people with MS. In this case the approach taken was alternate day fasting.

The improvement in blood markers seen in the animal study which are associated with inflammation, was also evidenced in the human pilot.

Laura is presently involved in a larger scale human study which is exploring caloric-reduced intermittent fasting, similar in approach to the 5:2 approach. Once again this is under the watchful eye of a dietician. The team is looking at the gut microbiome and blood inflammatory markers.

What becomes clear as we talk is the difficulty of conducting research amongst patients who are experiencing MS symptoms. There is clearly a desire on behalf of both the patient and researcher to ensure recovery from a relapse is not prevented. This makes it difficult to identify the degree to which, if any, fasting contributes to the improvement (or maybe the steroid treatment brought about the improvement).

Laura is keen to point out that she doesn't believe diet can cure MS. Diet is a part of the range of beneficial approaches. You cannot base all your decisions on the stories of others that have no scientific backing.

Epidemiological studies show obesity in children and young adults is associated with an increased risk to develop MS.

Bron is just beginning to accept she is transitioning from RRMS (relapsing remitting MS) to SPMS (secondary progressive MS).

She shares her repeated feelings of grief and loss of hopes and dreams. What emerges from

Bron's reflections 'in the moment' of the recording of this podcast is a repeated pattern of processes she has been through. Namely:

feel the feeling,

recognise and name the feeling,

take some action (some negative, some positive),

gain control,

adjust mindset
