Episode 293: An Update on Diet and MS with Dr. Ilana Katz Sand

You've told me that the subject of diet and MS is one of your top three interests. And a quick scan of social media platforms reveals that a lot of people living with MS agree!

This week, Dr. Ilana Katz Sand, the Associate Director of the Corinne Goldsmith Dickinson Center for Multiple Sclerosis at Mount Sinai, joins me with an update on what the latest research is revealing about the impact of diet on MS, and to answer that eternal question -- Is there an MS diet?

We're also talking about the launch of OCTOPUS, a groundbreaking clinical trial for progressive MS.

We'll talk with Dr. Erin Longbrake, the principal investigator in CELLO, a national clinical trial that's focused on potentially neutralizing MS before symptoms even develop.

And if you're living with MS and you're looking for one more reason to stop smoking, we're sharing some recently published sobering evidence.

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