In this powerful episode of Healing Beyond Your Diagnosis, Dr. Jason West sits down with one of his most inspiring patients, Ryan Durand—a man who stared down a multiple sclerosis diagnosis and said, “No, thank you.” What began with a numb tongue and a shotless basketball game turned into a rollercoaster of MRIs, misdirection, and misguided advice. Told there was no hope beyond pharmaceuticals, Ryan defied conventional wisdom and built a new path—one paved with faith, food, family, and functional medicine.
From Hot Pockets to plant-based power, from being dismissed by neurologists to finding purpose at the West Clinic, Ryan’s story is an honest, uplifting, and often humorous account of reclaiming health when the world said it couldn’t be done. Discover how Vitamin H (hope), lifestyle changes, infusion therapy, protomorphogens, and a relentless willpower helped Ryan regain his health—and how it just might help you or someone you love.
If you or someone you know is battling MS or any autoimmune diagnosis, this episode is proof that you are not your disease.
Tune in, be inspired, and remember: you don’t need a perfect body to live a powerful life.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
