Recently I had a fantastic conversation with Kelli Gastis, an author and fellow MS warrior. Kelli shared her journey of being diagnosed with MS at 25 and how she navigated through various treatments, including natural remedies.
We talked about Kelli's busy life before her MS diagnosis, working in the fashion industry and teaching dance and aerobics. She shared her initial symptoms of tingling and the journey to diagnosis, highlighting the challenges and uncertainties she faced.
Eventually, Kelli transitioned from traditional medication to natural remedies, guided by a homeopathic doctor to explore different approaches to managing her health.
Now Kelli has written about her experiences in a book, "Fabulous in Flats," which is available on Amazon and has received rave reviews within the MS community.
In our discussion, Kelli emphasized the need for an open mind when looking at ways to manage MS. Her advice to newly diagnosed individuals was to try different approaches and not be afraid to explore alternative treatments.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
