🎙️ Episode Summary:

A few months ago, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) after six months of unexplained symptoms, MRIs, blood work, and a spinal tap. But this episode isn't just about my diagnosis—it's about what it led me to discover.

We talk about what MS actually is (in simple terms), how chronic stress and the nervous system have changed the way I think about health, and why Gabor Maté's When the Body Says No completely shifted my perspective on healing.

Whether you're living with an autoimmune disease, navigating burnout, or simply feeling stuck in constant fight-or-flight, I hope this conversation reminds you to slow down, ask better questions, and learn to listen when your body is trying to tell you something.

In this episode, I talk about:

• My MS diagnosis and symptoms
• What multiple sclerosis is (simply explained)
• Chronic stress, the nervous system, and fight-or-flight
• Why I stepped away from social media
• Gabor Maté's When the Body Says No
• How this experience is reshaping my work, health, and what's next

💡 Episode Highlights & Time Stamps:

0:44 Introduction to Person Health Advocacy

1:25 Early Symptoms and Path to Diagnosis
