I also want to say this…

I want to acknowledge that she is still suffering, clearly. And yet her doctor congratulating her for not having MS despite her saying her symptoms are worsening?! Tone deaf. I can understand why that would leave her grieving. Shame on that doctor.

But after all these years, the fact that she feels like she’s starting over because the label was removed? That is telling to me. And it just makes me sad for her.

I was there once. I just didn’t allow myself to stay there.

Listening to her speak on her MS podcasts over the years, I felt like I never heard her speak of empowerment over MS. Maybe I’m totally wrong. If she was fighting like hell for her health, please correct me.

But when I listened to her, the energy I perceived was that she was allowing MS to have power over HER. And I’m a firm believer that the words you speak over yourself, thoughts and energy matter more than people realize.

I no longer say “I have MS.” I say “I was diagnosed with MS” because it is no longer a part of me because I don’t allow it to be.

And yes, I have been privileged to be able to be able to functional testing and surgery to help me heal, but honestly, what made the biggest difference in my symptoms were free.

•sleep
•meditation/mindset work
•nutrition (arguably not free but most have a choice in what they eat)
•movement
•hydration

And we are at the age where we have access to so much information! Maybe too much information? But it really comes down to mindset and what you’ll DO with your diagnosis and the knowledge you seek.

Your doctor sucks? Just wants you believe you’re powerless? Find a new one. Build your team.

Will you let the diagnosis take over or will you fight and keep asking why?

I hope Christina continues to fight. I hope she finds the right people to empower her and help her find her root cause.

I’d love to hear your thoughts too. Let’s discuss.

Will this day ever just become another random day? Maybe. But I’m just not there yet and that’s okay.

Sharing this in the hopes of spreading awareness + a cute lil looksie into my psyche as an ms girlie of 8 years. 🧡

If these words resonate, hi welcome. I’m glad we can relate to one another but I also wish it was under different circumstances. Send this to someone you think may benefit from reading + save for yourself as a reminder that it doesn’t rain forever and to meet yourself exactly where you are without judgement. Ilysm

Sometimes the back of the book says it best.

I wrote The Comprehensive Physician’s Guide to the Management of PANS and PANDAS to give clinicians a resource they could turn to when caring for children and families navigating these complex conditions.

These words from @drterrywahls @drjillcarnahan and @drroseann mean a great deal to me. Thank you for recognizing this work and the families at the heart of it.

My hope is that every clinician who picks it up feels better equipped to help the next family who walks through their door.

Thank you feels like such a small word to say, and I don't really feel that it truly expresses my immense gratitude to you all.

Because of all you lovely followers and @drterrywahls, @drdavidhamilton, @goodehealth, @kincommunity, @@thepreventionnutritionist to name a few, 48 hours after my book was published 'Better than You' became an Amazon #1 Bestseller.

I'm ecstatic to say the least!

I also must thank the diagnosis of MS because without it, I would never have experienced positive progression for MS.

If you haven't bought it yet & would like to, just comment 'Better' below⬇️

Yours in All things Progressive Health,
Maria xx

Can you imagine if there was as much focus on what we can do to feel better living with MS, than the current focus there is about declining?.......

The difference it would make?

Are you tired of being told what to expect?
It's never anything good, is it?....

Any new symptom that arrives appears to be 'expected' too because after all, you have MS.

My new book which is now available and is an Amazon #1 Bestseller, invites you to flip the script.

What can you do that might make YOU feel better living with MS?

We are told only about MS being a progressive disease and to expect progressive decline.

When I was told this, I strongly objected to it.

There must be more I can do?

That's why I decided to change my focus from progressive disease to progressive health.

In my new book 'Better than Before' I'll share with you what I encountered along the way while seeking to improve health outcomes.

I provide my easy to understand framework called the 'Hopeful Approach' to provide some structure & guidance.

I wish this had been available to me 15 years ago.

I very much appreciate Dr Wahls endorsement for my book:
" A book that proves MS progression can mean improving health, not losing it.A must read"

I know only too well how bad MS can get.
But, I also know how good it can get.

My book shares with you the journey of navigating it all these past 15 years.
Where it now finds me 'Better than Before' as the title suggests.

My book is now available to order and the Foreword is provided by the hugely inspiring @drterrywahls.

Dr Wahls was the first person I knew of who was improving her health, diagnosed with MS.
She inspired me to do the same.

I provide my framework using the principles of Functional Medicine called my 'Hopeful Approach' where I break down in each chapter what I did, that enabled me to change the trajectory of disease.

Dr Wahls needs no introduction and I feel truly honored to be invited as her guest on her Instagram LIVE tomorrow 1st October.

Dr Wahls was the first person I heard of who had experienced positive progression for MS.

She inspired me to do the same.

I'm still beyond thrilled that she provided me with the Foreword of my book.

Join us tomorrow!

After reflecting deeply about the past 15 years after being given the diagnosis of MS, I'm happy I can now share what helped me.

It's been condensed into my framework based on the principles of Functional Medicine which ive called the 'Hopeful Approach' using the acronym HOPEFUL.

Doing this felt like an easy to understand way of reading the book as we both know, when MS is about, we don't need anything complicated!

The aim for the book is to help you approach MS differently in a way that's focused on hope, not fear.

The countdown is on!

2 more sleeps before you can order it!....

What chapter interests you the most?
I'd love to know⬇️
