Summary
What if your immune system went haywire and starting attacking your body's nervous system affecting your vision, your sensations, your mobility, or other bodily functions? Auto-immune conditions are extremely common, and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is one of the more devastating diseases in this category. Whether you or someone you know has MS or not, you can learn a great deal about myelin health, proper nutrition, and balanced living from people who do—because for them, it can be a question of life or death. On this week's show, you'll meet an author, coach and expert, Andrea Hanson who is thriving despite her MS diagnosis in 2000.
------------
Listen & Learn:
- How MS attacks your nervous system
- Why diagnosis is getting earlier and better
- How MS can be progressive or relapsing / remitting
- Diagnosis: MRI shows wearing down of myelin on nerves (like holes)
