Some people living with MS adhere to a treatment plan based exclusively on what we might consider traditional medicine. Others opt for alternative treatments. And, still, others take a whole-person health approach, blending integrative medicine with traditional treatments designed to support an individual's mind and body. Dr. Lynne Shinto joins me to discuss how a whole-person health approach can transform living with MS. Dr. Shinto is a Professor of Neurology and an MS Specialist at the Center for Women's Health at Oregon Health and Science University.   We're also sharing some encouraging news about funding for the National Institutes of Health in 2026. We'll explain the research that has led to the identification of a new and quite different subtype of MS.  We'll tell you about this year's winner of the Rachel Horne Prize for Women's Research in Multiple Sclerosis.

In this episode, I chat with Talitha Humes about her app which enables users to easily identify and take the prescribed medications required for their chronic and auto-immune conditions. After receiving a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 2005, Talitha realized that her medications were complex and increasingly difficult to manage accurately. Despite trying various available apps to assist her with managing her tablets, none worked well for Talitha, which began the journey of developing an app that would suit her needs. The app, See Meds, is available at no cost on IOS and will hopefully be coming to Android shortly. Since we recorded, I installed the app and tested it. From what I can see, it is almost entirely accessible for me as a blind user of an iPhone with VoiceOver. Here's where you can find the app and read more about it: Website: www.seemymed.om See Meds App on IOS: https://apps.apple.com/za/app/see-meds/id1671939877 IG @ seemedsapp Image description: A woman with short curly light hair, wearing a light blue collared shirt.

What is Trauma and how we can heal with Rama AchalaTrauma Informed Somatic Coach & Medicine WomanRama is a trauma informed and somatic practitioner, a plant medicine integration coach, a teacher of kambo amazonian medicine, a speaker and a medicine woman. She has supported thousands, all over north America and Costa Rica, to heal mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
After being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, Rama went against the recommendations of Dr's, said no to injections and pharmaceuticals, and chose her own healing journey. That journey lead her to plant medicines like ayahuasca, San Pedro and the frog medicine, Kambo. She spent many years working with shaman and curanderos, processing unhealed trauma, integrating mystical experiences and remembering the scariness of life.On Rama's own healing journey, she learned how deeply mind, body and emotions are connected and how chronic illnesses can stem from unprocessed trauma stored in the body and unconscious mind. 
She believes we all have the ability to heal ourselves, if we are willing to listen to what our bodies are telling us.Linkshttps://www.heartofkambo.comhttps://www.instagram.com/heartofkambo?igsh=MTlybW51OTlqendzbg%3D%3D&utm_source=qrTags:Alternative Healing Techniques,Chronic Illness,Mind-Body Connection,Mindset,Plant Medicine Integration,Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),Psychedelics,Self Care,Self-Discovery,Trauma Recovery,What is Trauma and how we can heal with Rama Achala,Podcast,Live Video Podcast InterviewSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rssSubstackhttps://substack.com/@phantomelectricghost?utm_source=edit-profile-page

Does cider honey eradicate cadmium in the body?  Is there any truth to this?Can Mitopure be consumed with dairy?  Does dairy in any way interfere with its absorption?I've read and heard that supplements are worthless—can even shorten lifespans.  Is this true?Should I be concerned about the xylitol in my toothpaste since I read it can increase blood clots and stroke risk?How much omega-3 do you recommend for multiple sclerosis?Is there any new protocol or treatment for Lyme disease?

When you are living with Multiple Sclerosis, how do you know when you need to take on fewer activities? To take a break. To say, “Not today.” To give yourself permission and just stop. In this episode, we reflect on these thoughts after a busy month filled with activities—everything from family visiting for a week to undergoing several MS treatments; making a trip back to Iowa to see more family; being interviewed by several media outlets; and attending several baseball games, concerts, and church committee meetings. All that, on top of Dan working full-time, Jennifer maintaining our home life with her caregiver Jen, and, oh yeah, both of us living with MS. Join us in our conversation about how we continually try to know our limits in what we can and can't do, while granting ourselves the grace to sit things out guilt-free in the name of self-care and investing our time and energy in the moments that matter. ***** Remember to rate, review and subscribe to A Couple Takes on MS Podcast for two insightful perspectives on this one multifaceted disease.

Welcome to the 29th episode of The Brain Podcast - the official podcast of the journals Brain and Brain Communications.  This episode features a discussion with first author of the Brain article entitled: Distinct transcriptional changes distinguish efficient and poor remyelination in multiple sclerosis We are joined by Alida Chen for an interesting discussion into detecting transcriptional changes that may identify efficient remyelination in multiple sclerosis. Using brain bank donor tissue, the authors examine donors who show efficient remyelination compared with those who had poorly remyelinating lesions. They discuss interesting findings around the epithelial–mesenchymal transition pathway as well as the MTORC1 signalling pathway. Further, the team discusses how these findings may translate to in vivo understanding of efficient remyelination in patients with MS as well as other experimental models that may help elucidate this.   Check out the full article on the Brain website as part of the June 2025 issue: https://doi.org/10.1093/brain/awae414 This episode was co-hosted, edited and produced by Chaitra Sathyaprakash and Andreas Thermistocleous, edited and produced by Chaitra and Xin You Tai, co-produced by Antonia Johnston, original music by Ammar Al-Chalabi.

In this deeply moving episode of It Happened To Me, we sit down with Elizabeth Ansell, founder of #NotJustFatigue, a nonprofit initiative dedicated to raising awareness about myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). This is a condition that is vastly under diagnosed, possibly 90% which would mean it may affect up to 9 million people.    Elizabeth's life changed dramatically as a young adult when she developed ME/CFS—a complex, debilitating condition often triggered by infection. Since 2016, she has been bed-bound, living with severe fatigue, cognitive impairment, and post-exertional malaise. Yet, from her bed, she has become a powerful voice for change.   Through #NotJustFatigue, Elizabeth educates both the public and medical professionals about this misunderstood illness, challenging harmful myths and confronting the stigma that patients face. In this episode, she opens up about her own diagnostic odyssey, the emotional and physical toll of the disease, and the resilience it takes to advocate while living with severe limitations.    What You'll Learn in This Episode:   Elizabeth's journey to an ME/CFS diagnosis and how it changed her life The reality of living bed-bound for nearly a decade Why post-exertional malaise is a hallmark—and often misunderstood—symptom How #NotJustFatigue is changing public perception and medical understanding The connection between ME/CFS and Long COVID Strategies for supporting someone living with ME/CFS The role of storytelling in advocacy and awareness Myths and misconceptions that harm patients The emotional toll of medical gaslighting Hopes for the future of ME/CFS research and treatment More About Our Guest: Elizabeth Ansell, founder of #NotJustFatigue, is an advocate, storyteller, and changemaker for the ME/CFS community. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, she has a background in literature and TV production. Bed-bound since 2016, Elizabeth uses her lived experience and creative skills to educate others about ME/CFS, dismantle stigma, and build community for those navigating the same invisible illness.   Here is the visual historical timeline that Elizabeth mentioned during the episode. She also recommends watching #NotJustFatigue's 15 minute short film about the condition.    An update since we recorded with Elizabeth….   In a rare bipartisan move earlier this month (August 2025), the Senate Labor-HHS FY26 Appropriations Report delivered two major wins for the chronic illness community: Formally recognized ME/CFS within the RECOVER Initiative for Long COVID Directed NIH to implement the ME/CFS Research Roadmap within 180 days   This is a long-awaited breakthrough for millions of Americans with ME/CFS, a post-viral disease that has no FDA-approved treatment and receives just $13M in funding annually, despite being more common than Multiple Sclerosis. Advocates are calling this a major step forward in pushing NIH toward accountability and treatments.   Connect With Us:     Stay tuned for the next new episode of “It Happened To Me”!

I just returned from the JLI Retreat in Washington DC, at retreat at around 1:30am on Saturday night, I sat down with Jeffrey Warner, a university student from Arizona who has been listening to my podcasts for a long time. Our conversation about life, love, relationships, and so much more was raw and real, the kind of talk that reminds you what it means to be human.Jeffrey brought honesty, courage, and an open heart to this dialogue. We explored the struggles and joys that come with being young, building relationships, and searching for purpose. It's not polished, it's not scripted, it's simply real. And I'm so excited for you to spend this time with us.---Support Jeffrey and His FamilyJeffrey's story doesn't end with this conversation. His family is facing a heartbreaking reality. In September 2024, his father suffered a stroke that left him paralyzed, while his mother continues her long battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Both now require 24/7 care. Jeffrey and his siblings, all full-time students, are doing everything they can to keep their parents safe and supported, but the need is overwhelming.If this conversation touched you, please consider helping Jeffrey and his family in this urgent time of need.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease in which the body’s immune system attacks the protective layer around the nerves. It affects more than 2.8 million people worldwide, most often younger adults between ages 20 and 40 – with women significantly more affected. What are the symptoms? What should newly diagnosed individuals know? In this episode, Robert Bermel, MD, Director of the Mellen Center for Multiple Sclerosis at the Cleveland Clinic, explains what happens after an MS diagnosis, from early signs and the importance of timely treatment to lifestyle strategies and long-term planning. We also hear from Hanna Jones, a 31-year-old MS advocate and blogger, who shares her personal journey of being diagnosed and how education helped her face her diagnosis. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, a caregiver, or simply curious, this episode offers insight, guidance, and hope.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if autoimmunity wasn't the body turning against you, but a call for deeper care and understanding? In this episode of Healthily, I'm joined by Nutritional Therapist Elisa Ferguson, who specialises in supporting people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). We explore the wider story behind autoimmune conditions – including how stress, gut health, trauma, and diet all interact in powerful ways. We take a look at the cell danger response – a protective mechanism where the body essentially "hits pause" on certain functions to deal with threat. When this response becomes chronic, it can contribute to many chronic conditions, including MS. Together, we reflect on why people often fall down rabbit holes in search of solutions, and how to find a gentler, more effective way forward. This is an episode full of insight, calm, and connection – not just for those living with MS, but for anyone curious about how to support whole-body health through the lens of autoimmunity.  For more resources, support, and information on how I work, visit www.nicola-moore.com You'll find details about my clinic, courses, and services designed to support real-life health — with compassion, clarity and practicality.  Are you a qualified nutritional therapist or student practitioner looking for support in clinic?

Damo opens Episode 152 with a personal and emotional story about the tragic death of Azir Harris, who was shot and killed in Philadelphia over the Fourth of July weekend. That pain sets the tone for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation with CWO2 Donald Banks—a discussion that spans grief, leadership, Detroit culture, chronic illness, and purpose. From gun violence in his hometown to navigating life with Multiple Sclerosis, CWO2 Banks brings insight, heart, and an unwavering sense of service to the mic. Donald shares what drew him into the Navy straight out of Detroit, why he doesn't want a retirement ceremony, and how his MS diagnosis has reshaped his day-to-day responsibilities, family dynamics, and leadership style. He offers firsthand knowledge of the Navy's EMPLOY program—an alternative path that allows Sailors with medical diagnoses to remain active duty—and discusses how it helped him stay in uniform while managing symptoms like fatigue, vision loss, and nerve pain. The conversation moves through everything from beard policies and CPAP struggles to Navy vs. civilian dental experiences and the emotional toll of recent national tragedies, including the death of CSSN Angelina Resendiz and widespread flooding in Texas. The episode also celebrates Detroit's impact on hip-hop culture, with top-five rapper debates, reflections on the city's sound influencing the mainstream, and shout-outs to artists like Blade Icewood, Payroll Giovanni, Royce da 5'9”, and Obie Trice. From discussing emotional intelligence in leadership to breaking down why “Burger Day” fell off and why some morale events just don't hit the mark, this conversation is as real as it gets. Whether it's reflecting on books like Chop Wood, Carry Water and The Way of the Superior Man, or calling out the silent weight that leaders carry as they rise through the ranks, this episode captures the soul of what it means to serve and survive—physically, emotionally, and culturally. ⸻ About Our Guest Chief Warrant Officer 2 Donald Banks is a Detroit native and 22-year Navy veteran currently serving as a Food Service Officer.
