Episode 357: Living Your Best Life When You're Living with MS with Dr. Lisa Doggett

When it comes to living your best life when you're living with MS, the first step is to make smart lifestyle choices. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle doesn't require pills, injections, or infusions. And making smart lifestyle choices can make a real, measurable difference in your quality of life.

Joining me to talk about the benefits of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and share some tips and strategies for living your best life when you're living with MS is Dr. Lisa Doggett, a family and lifestyle medicine physician at the MS and Neuroimmunology Center at Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin.

Dr. Doggett was diagnosed with MS in 2009, and she's the author of the memoir, 'Up the Down Escalator: Medicine, Motherhood, and Multiple Sclerosis'.

We'll also tell you about a research team that's looking to improve the way that stem cells are transplanted -- and why that's a good thing for people with MS.

We'll share the details behind the European Union's approval of a new Ocrevus formulation that makes the DMT much more patient-friendly.

You'll hear about the blood test for measuring a biomarker that can predict future MS disease worsening that has just gained approval in the European Union.

And we'll tell you where to find the video replay of Mobility Challenges in Progressive MS, the most recent webcast hosted by the International Progressive MS Alliance.

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