WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT FOR
PROGRESSIVE MS?
You've probably jumped on a train or two when told that one certain supplement or device was the answer to all that ails you, only to find out that progressive multiple sclerosis is somewhat more complex, right?
As someone who was disabled before her primary progressive multiple sclerosis PPMS diagnosis, and had no disease-modifying therapy DMT to treat PPMS at the time, I know all too well how useful the right targeted habits and lifestyle choices can be in daily symptom control This is the same system that eventually helped me recover to the point of now being mobility aid and DMT-free
So how do you know what to do? What works for others with progressive MS? The purpose of this guide is to arm you with some preliminary information

Optimize Nutrition
TOP 10 TIPS FOR PROGRESSIVE MS
Folake Taylor, MD
Adopt a Non-toxic Lifestyle
Be ready to go as far as is necessary with antiinflammatory nutritional changes, for example, Wahls Paleo Plus (Level 3) It doesn’t have to be forever Eat your fruits, vegetables, good quality proteins, and good fats Avoid gluten, dairy, fast foods, and sugar Intermittent fast Try ketosis Organ meats from grass-fed meat are deeply healing and regenerative for progressive MS
Reduce Stress
Reduce the stresses in your life that are within your power For the ones that are not, find ways to deal with them better This includes setting boundaries and pacing yourself Boundaries are not only for others but for yourself too Sometimes, major changes are necessary such as taking ourselves out of certain toxic environments Get quality sleep
Regulate your Nervous System
Chronic illness is rooted in a disordered nervous system This happens from an initial insult, whatever that might be It stands to reason that anything you can do to balance it out will foster healing EFT
Tapping Embodied practices like Yoga, tai-chi, and Qigong Breath-work Prayer Grounding
Meditation Incorporate these into your daily routine and see how different you feel
Reduce your exposure to toxins in your food, in the air that you breathe, in the water that you drink and bathe with, and in the products you use on and around you Toxins abound They are making us ill and slowly killing us. For example, glyphosate is misrecognized by the body as glycine, an amino acid. It is then incorporated into our body where it proceeds to wreak havoc
Address Trauma
Address any unprocessed emotions or traumas in your life, to heal from mental and physical sequelae There are little ts and big Ts Little ts look more like chronic stress Big Ts are the traumas that we are aware of There’s also generational trauma imprinted in your DNA through epigenetics because trauma does not have to be your own to affect you
All supplements are not created equal Many supplements contain toxins, do not contain what is stated on the packaging, or contain fillers What supplements do you need?
Vitamins such as D3, Bs, & K2, magnesium, pre-, pro and postbiotics I have a free tool that helps you figure out where to start with supplements for progressive MS You can take the quiz here

Organ meat supplements, otherwise known as ancestral supplements contain deeply healing peptides and other bioactive ingredients that will supercharge your recovery from progressive MS. Some of these are the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, and brain
Embrace Biohacking
This is a way to hack your biology and supercharge your recovery through certain supplements, devices, habits, and tools My top recommendations are extremes of temperature such as the IR sauna and cold showers or dips There are also supplements in this category like Astaxanthin and NAD
Work with Someone

Explore NMES with Rehab
Try to incorporate Neuromuscular electrical stimulation AKA EMS or E-stim in your rehab or home exercise routine This is the most effective way to combat the physical debilitation that often comes with progressive MS It supercharges your exercise efforts, gets you the results you want, and helps you maintain it At-home devices such as the Compex Mini & 2 0 are effective
