Episode 267: All You Need to Know About Vaccines and MS with Dr. Lisa Doggett

It's flu season and that makes it an excellent time to talk about vaccines. People living with MS often have questions about whether a particular vaccine is good for them or whether it might carry with it the risk of a relapse or other negative health consequence.

Dr. Lisa Doggett joins me to brief us on all things related to vaccines and MS. Dr. Doggett is a family doctor as well as the Senior Medical Director at HGS AxisPoint Health. She was a 2021-2022 American Academy of Family Physicians Vaccine Science Fellow, and Dr. Doggett has lived with MS since being diagnosed in 2009.

I'm also sharing my major take-away from the 2022 National Conference on Caregiving Research.

And, speaking of caregiving, we'll review the results of a study that measured the risk of family caregivers experiencing future illness and disability.

You're going to want to hear the results of a study that measured the effects of a keto diet on people living with MS.

And we'll tell you what researchers learned when they analyzed the effect of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) on tissue damage in the central nervous system (And we'll explain why that may be really important!).

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
