And I remember those early days, clearly, I was feeling really scared about what to expect in the future, overwhelmed about what to do to help myself now. And I was completely confused about how I even ended up here in the first place. It was a lot to process. I started making a lot of drastic changes to my diet. I was cutting out foods left and right because I was petrified of triggering inflammation.

I was overcomplicating every single meal, overthinking every bite. And honestly, I was throwing myself one hell of a petty party. But deep down I knew there had to be a better, more sustainable way to embrace an anti-inflammatory lifestyle. One that could adapt to my life so that I can enjoy living it. And that's what I was really determined to find.

Fast forward, nearly a decade later and I not only found the balance on my plate that I was looking for, but I also discovered a flexible approach that has helped me keep my MS diagnosis in check and genuinely makes me happy. So I invite you to join me on the Inflamed in the Brain podcast where I peel back the curtain to uncomplicate the seemingly complicated nutrition concepts.
