In this episode of the MGC podcast, I talk to Dr. Rhonda Voskuhl, a Professor of Neurology at UCLA where she currently holds the Jack H. Skirball Chair. Dr. Voskuhl is the Director of the UCLA Multiple Sclerosis Program, and is the faculty neurologist for the UCLA Comprehensive Menopause Care Program. She is an internationally recognized expert on women's health and the role of female sex hormones in cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disorders. With over 20 years of numerous grants and continuous funding from the NIH and NMSS, her lab discovered a novel estrogen treatment strategy that can be neuroprotective through actions on estrogen receptor beta (ER) in the central nervous system. Dr. Voskuhl has been the Principle Investigator on three clinical trials showing neuroprotective effects of estriol treatment on cognition and cortical brain atrophy underscoring the translational nature of her research. In this podcast, I talk to her about the following topics: • The role of estrogen on specific receptors in the brain and its implications for the development of neurodegenerative disorders • Why women are more likely to develop early cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease • Why the earlier clinical trials with estrogen receptor replacement failed • What women can do to slow cognitive decline after menopause

We all know Multiple Sclerosis is a relentless, unpredictable, frustrating disease. It can make living with it seem impossible, but we can regain some control in how we manage our MS. Shortly after she was diagnosed more than 26 years ago, Jennifer heard a doctor speak who offered an analogy that inspired her then and still does to this day. She shared it with me early in our dating relationship that started in 2002, and it continues to motivate me. Join us for this episode as we break down this thought-provoking analogy of where MS fits in the hypothetical car you're driving with the disease. Is it riding shotgun, sitting in the back seat, or is it buried under a bunch of blankets in the trunk? Or, do you feel it's pushed you out of the driver's seat and has taken total control over where you're going? Listen to where we each believe MS is on our respective imaginary vehicles. We dare say you'll be surprised over which of us feels less in control. Here are some links we reference for ways to help you stay in command of your MS journey: • Let's Find Better Sleep – MS Focus article about the value of sleep in when living with MS. • Diet, Exercise & Healthy Behaviors – A National MS Society article about elements and practices to better manage your disease. • MS Medications – Overview from the NMSS of the disease-modifying therapies available to lessen the frequency and severity of MS exacerbations and other medications to manage MS symptoms.

To find out more about our courses visit: FindEmpathy.com/learn. PODCAST SUMMARY If you work with people that have multiple sclerosis, at some point, you're going to hear about diet. And this is for good reason. As highlighted by the National MS Society, a number of diet-related factors are linked to worse MS outcomes. For example, in some recent research, lower Vitamin D and adolescent obesity were associated with increased risk for developing MS. In a mouse model of MS it was found that salt was linked with more rapid development of disease. And there are numerous studies looking at gut bacteria in people with MS. Finally, some recent research has also examined "MS diets." Some individuals swear by stricter diets and they lived by strict dietary rules. On the other end of the spectrum, many individuals with MS struggle to eat healthy whole foods and may rely largely on pre-packaged or easy to make foods. In this course, you're going to hear details about dietary research, more on the "MS Diets," recommendations for healthy eating, as well as emotional factors or MS symptoms that may be playing a role on those two ends of the spectrum. As a note, diet can be a controversial topic in the MS world. With strong opinions on many sides. If this is a topic that is of interest, I would encourage you to continue seeking out additional resources and research to draw your own conclusions. Some of these resources are located in our resource page associated with this podcast course. Our experts include: Emily Reilly, Healthcare Provider Engagement Manager for the NMSS & Certified Personal Trainer (adaptive fitness trainer) Mona Bostick RDN, CSO, LDN, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Owner of MS Bites Ellen Mowry, Director, Multiple Sclerosis Experimental Therapeutics Program and Professor of Neurology at Johns Hopkins COST Listening, reading, or watching the course content is free.

Episode 10: Dawnia Marie IS Brightside 365 GUEST: Dawnia Marie, MS Advocate, and Founder and CEO of Brightside 365 https://media.blubrry.com/incluse_this/content.blubrry.com/incluse_this/S1_E10_Dawnia_Marie_is_Brightside_365.mp3 March is Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Awareness Month, and we're celebrating with my very dear friend and fellow MS Warrior, Dawnia Marie. We talk about everything from the pros and cons of self-help groups, to our relationships with providers and celebrating our diagnoses. MS is a debilitating disease, but it doesn't dim our light. And my friend Dawnia Marie, a true representation of Brightside 365, is an amazing example and reminder for all of us to - keep living! #DisabilityPride QUICK LINKS As language, perceptions and social mores change at a seemingly faster and faster rate, it is becoming increasingly difficult for communicators to figure out how to refer to people with disabilities. This style guide, developed by the National Center on Disability and Journalism at Arizona State University, is intended to help. It covers almost 200 words and terms commonly used when referring to disability. OUR GUEST: Dawnia Marie Dawnia Marie was born in Pittsburgh, PA. At the age of 9, she moved to Los Angeles because her father was pursuing his music career. Dawnia resided in Inglewood, CA and graduated from Inglewood High. At the age of 20, Dawnia moved to Atlanta, GA. She received an undergraduate degree in Business Administration from NCCU and a Masters degree in Corporate Finance and Project Management. In 2006, Dawnia's body went numb from her chest down and in her hands. After a trip to the ER, a neurologist visit, and hours of MRI's, Dawnia was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. In 2013 Dawnia moved back to California and in 2014 she was taking a class through the MS Society at USC. Through the class Dawnia began volunteering with the MS Society. This lead to being featured in a USC magazine, assisting in the office at the MS Society, being flown to Seattle, Washington to film a resilience campaign video, featured on the cover of the MS Momentum magazine, featured in multiple articles, becoming a District Activist Leader which she visits local government offices, flies to the capitol in California and Washington, DC to advocate for bills that benefit people living with MS and other sicknesses and diseases, was a part of the WeAreIllmatic campaign for women of color diagnosed with MS, an interview with KTLA regarding the Marilyn Hilton MS Achievement Center at UCLA, a video for Yahoo Lifestyles, We Believe campaign video for the MS Society, and asked to participate in a video for the Hilton family. The most important thing was becoming a self-help group leader. Currently, Dawnia is a self-help group facilitator for adults in their 20s, 30s, and 40s for the National MS Society. Seeing a need for a self-help group for teens, Dawnia spearheaded a self-help group for High School students and quickly spread to College Students called MS Youngsters that began in 2017. The MS Youngsters lovingly refer to her as their MS momma. In 2020 Dawnia received the Inspirational Person of the Year Award for the Southern California/ Nevada Chapter of the NMSS. She also received the 2020 L.O.V.E. (Ladies Operating Very Effectively) Overcomer Award. Most recently she received the 2020 Volunteer Inspiration Award. Dawnia is a caregiver for her father who is also diagnosed with MS that is now bedridden. Since he lives in Pittsburgh she coordinates everything by phone, trips back to Pittsburgh to go to doctor's appointments with her dad, has relationships with every person involved in his care, and family that still lives in Pittsburgh. True to her reputation, she maintained a positive outlook even after her diagnosis. Dawnia knows that God wasn't bored one day and allowed her to be diagnosed with MS. She knows there is a purpose in every challenge and avoids asking "why me?".

In this episode, we explore disease modifying therapies (DMT’s) a little more as well as discuss reliable resources of information such as the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) and the American Academy of Neurology (AAN). We also discuss an article, “New MS treatment guidelines” from the NMSS’ quarterly publication, Momentum. The guidelines from the AAN referenced in the article and podcast, are under the Clinician Summary box. And finally, there is a list of medications provided by the NMSS to "Modify the disease course" that is a great reference as well.

The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) is holding its Annual Meeting this week in Los Angeles. And with more than 10,000 neurologists all in one place, we're talking about a LOT of news coming out of that conference.   Just some of the topics we're talking about on this week's podcast: The AAN announced new guidelines for treating MS. A new study will convince you to begin MS disease-modifying therapy sooner, rather than later. The National MS Society has announced $14.2 million dollars in funding for 45 new research projects aimed at slowing, stopping, and ending MS. Genentech announced some good news for MS patients taking Ocrevus. Biogen announced the results of several MS research studies. Computer-based cognitive training can improve memory for people living with MS. My guest on the podcast is 3-time Stanley Cup winner and and star of the National Hockey League's Chicago Blackhawks, Bryan Bickell. Bryan retired from hockey last year, after being diagnosed with MS. We'll talk with Bryan about what it was like to get that diagnosis, what it was like to score that very memorable final goal of his career, and what lies ahead for him. (NOTE: During our conversation, Bryan references a website, "My Fighting Hockey Story". The correct website is MyFightingStory.com.

She is the author of The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine, and the cookbook The Wahls Protocol Cooking For Life: The Revolutionary Modern Paleo Plan to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions. In this episode, we discuss her journey with MS, how she found her way to nutrition as a treatment and all of the lifestyle components of her protocol as well – exercise, meditation, e-stim, etc. She is currently involved in an NMSS-funded study comparing her diet with the diet of Dr. Roy Swank, author of The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Book: A Low-Fat Diet for the Treatment of M.S. Early indications are very encouraging. You can learn more about her work from her website, www.terrywahls.com.
