Dr Beaber, I want to thank you for all of the information you share, especially the videos addressing lifestyle and nutrition helps. Your approach is so open handed and yet informative and I love getting to tune in every now and then for some more encouragement. I was diagnosed over 12 years ago and have primarily dealt with ms with lifestyle changes and it’s been incredibly helpful. Thanks again and please keep ‘em coming!!
I like your "lectures" but also think the discussions are a nice change and always informative. Keep up the great work! I’m genuinely grateful for the time and energy you invest in making a difference for me and others with MS.
Thanks so much! I am 18 years into my journey with MS and completely agree that diet is critically important. I feel that, in many ways, I am healthier now than before MS. Great interview. Thanks!
Started on carnivore diet March 8th of 2024 and haven't deviated since. Started out at 185lbs. and slimmed down to 163lbs. with not trying to lose weight just reducing inflammation. I do feel better as far as my stomach issues have improved. Im 54 and was diagnosed with lyme and then to PPMS. I did do a treatment of Lemtrada with really no benefit. My walking is by a walker so mobility is my main issue. Thank you again for all your wisdom. This will be solved by networking with each other.
55 year old MS pt MR Tech working 40 hrs a wk, and about 20 OT I just simply eat once a day, around 6pm drink lots of water, all I take is Baclofen for spasticity, that's all. I'm doing gooooood. Thanks 4 this excellent vid Dr B.
"Consistency beats perfection" I need to hear this often. I'm a newbie with the OMS lifestyle. The food part is hard but I'm learning. Thank you Dr Beaber and Dr Conor!!!! I could listen to topics on health and nutrition all day long. Keep them coming!💙
Thanks @k3of5ks - OMs is interesting but too rigid and not ideal (although I am presenting at one of their conferences tomorrow!) I'm working on lots of new research based on the best evidence regarding MS and lifestyle, especially diet, food and nutrients. Watch this space and connect with me!
Love your stuff! Thank you so very much! Is there a list somewhere of all of your topics? A suggestion for a topic is gut microbiome/ fecal transplant if you haven’t already done that
I will be 30 years living with multiple sclerosis in September 2025. I read about the Swank Diet very early on, have been aware of OMS since Jelnik came on the scene and have followed a mostly Mediterranean diet for several years. I eat red meat rarely, chicken occasionally, fish regularly, and legumes mostly. I have been relapse-free for nearly 8 years on DMT and include exercise, vitamin D and stress management in daily life. I am 61 living in Melbourne, Australia where the sun is either trying to kill you or absent, but I get as much exposure as I safely can.
Delighted to hear you're doing so well @yvetteODowd - keep it up. PS. Melbourne is a great city. PPS. I'm working on lots of new research based on the best evidence regarding MS and lifestyle, especially diet, food and nutrients. Watch this space and connect with me!
Thank you for doing this interview as I am also interested in Dr. Swank's wprk as well as Dr. John McDougall's work and my Nuerologist thinks I have had since my 20's but was recently diagnosed in 2022 after starting to have issues with cognition, balance and blurry vision when I went to Emergency Room with this after having a Spinal Laminectomy done and wasn't getting better. I told my Nuerologist that when I was younger I would ask the doctors why I would have energy some weeks and some weeks no energy but they chalked it up to low iron, I am trying to eat better but now it is hard for me because of my disability now so I have to depend on others to help me and nobody around me wants to eat the way I would like to so please, anyone reading this, don't put off trying to do better. 😢
Excellent interview Dr Brandon, I didn't realize you had red hair until this morning because you sure are looking Irish haha. I know Greek yogurt is considered dairy but I tend to have that with some blueberries mixed in and I don't seem to have ill effects from it.
I do OMS and it has made a major difference. I have had no disease progression since I started OMS about 7 years ago. I bought the book and read it. I dont eat processed food, land animals and dairy. I drink mostly water, no soda, 1 cup of coffee. I like eating bowls. I prep my grains, beans, veggies etc and can vary the taste by my ingredients. It is easy and I eat a variety if vegetables. I also make a berry bowl. So I prep once for the week.
Thanks for this great interview. This question may get answered but what is your take on coconut fat, it is saturated fat but I was read some years ago that it was good as it was a medium chain fatty acid. Do you see all saturated fats the same? Thanks
Great to hear a conventional Doctor have a subject about nutrition. All my neurologist says is, “Do you eat 6 servings of fruits and veggies.” His guest is an awesome testimony that diet is the greatest medicine. 20 plus years no flares…beautiful work
Thanks for another informative and helpful video Dr. Brandon. What type of protein powder is optimal to use in my smoothies? Plant based, whey isolate or grass-fed bovine with organs. I have no food allergies. Thank you!
When I look at all the diets proposed for MS I notice they all have one thing in common - whole foods. None of them support seed oils, sugar or processed foods. I see merit in the Swank diet but I also see merit in the Wahls diet. They both have high quality whole foods in common. I myself now know I have methylation issues which have meant I have nutrient and vitamin absorption issues, but I can tell you that simple carbohydrates cause a lot of inflammation for me. So I avoid them. Whole grains really don't agree with me, nor does wheat or sugar. I'm currently thriving sticking to pasture raised meat, wild caught fish and green vegetables. The moment I have a higher glycemic piece of fruit I gain weight, overnight. I'm pretty sure I've had gut/food based inflammation for much of my life - hidden by being quite active and a bit of gym rat - but that got triggered into being MS. I'm beyond convinced that almost all illness has a metabolic cause. Heck Alzheimers is now being called type 3 diabetes and it's now recommended to get into ketosis as part of cancer treatment. Simple carbs are converted to glucose instantly. Cancer loves glucose and sugar.
Thank you both for a very interesting discussion! Dr Beaber: would you change your daily dose of vit D after hearing Conors recommendation that 2000-5000 IU is usually sufficient? My level of vit D had risen quickly from 87 to 145nmol/l in about 8 weeks after increasing my vit D dose to 5000 IU. I also take regular short and safe sun baths whenever possible. I am unsure whether to lower the dose now or keep it this way, since we are still in summer. Your opinion would be appreciated!
Great question @laurarosanne - I think myself and Dr. B agree the although vitamin D is quite safe, its benefits for MS have been way overblown. A blood level of 145nmol/l with 5,000IU daily sounds fine as well as short and safe sun baths!
I personally take 5000 IU of vitamin D3, and I am skeptical that this has any benefit, but I am confident this is extremely safe. For someone with specific medical conditions such as a history of calcium containing kidney stones or disorders of calcium metabolism, I might recommend avoiding vitamin D given the unproven benefit in randomized trials.
Thank you both for answering! Interesting that the OMS-program is so confident in the importance of vit D supplements. So I appreciate hearing your take on it 👍🏻
I never heard about the OMS diet, but luckily, it looks a lot like my current diet that Ive had for years. I am a pescotarian, prefer whole foods and grains, and eat one portion of dairy per day.
@@DrBrandonBeaber many ppl report that on youtube... Having already tested your friends approach unsuccessfully for 2 years I'm testing carnivore and it looks promising
The truth is - I can hardly move, so I end up not eating very much at all. Tons of supplements, and then a government subsidized packaged meal intended for senior citizens - classic veg or bean, carb and protein combination - and maybe a peanut butter sandwich for dinner. On the smartphone all day. Lots of chair exercise on Zoom, though. Should get out in the sun more, though I can't exactly go out undressed. 🙈
No, fresh cooked and pretty decent. They avoid pasta as the carb, but do rely on white rice and potatoes a lot. Mostly meat dishes - my naturopath says non-organic chickens aren't much good for anybody - but there are fish dishes to choose from, too. They seem to rely on canned beans or corn or peas and carrots. 😏
Good video Doc- nice to hear his opinions on nutrition and MS- I try and eat as healthy as I can- for me- my gut health is the depending factor on what i can eat- as things go right through me. #Sharingiscaring
@@DrBrandonBeaber I’m Italian- so eat very Mediterranean normally. But as of past couple years- I’m unable to digest vegetable peels/ fruit skins - it is progressively limiting my diet- but luckily I can improvise with vitamins/ protein drinks/ ect.. when I’m having a couple rough days. I HAVE become totally consumed with watermelon 🍉 this year- it actually helps my insides and i can tolerate it well. So I’ll take it. Ty for bringing on different people- the more knowledge we get- the better. Have a good day Doc.
Awesome chat, good to hear pragmatic ideas coming from Dr Kerley. Just to add my two cents - not all saturated fats are equal, C15 and short chain for example. I think part of the saturated fat issue is due to the ApoE4 gene which causes issues for oligodendrocytes. Going to have to do some research on these interesting plant based supplements. The transulfuration pathway is a good target - r-alpha lipoic acid is probably safer to consume than n-acetyl-cysteine, another great safe supplement on the same pathway is Taurine - can aid in remyelination and I feel a great increase in energy levels from taking 2g in the morning.
@@DrBrandonBeaber serious question Dr if someone has been 21 years since DX in early teens, no DMTs for 20 of those years, no relapses and no progression is likely not actually MS? Sounds like could be mono episodic MOG or something else ?
@@DrBrandonBeaber To add onto that, my dad experienced optic neuritis at 15 years old. No symptoms until he was 43. MRI showed a cerebellar lesion & spinal lesions. Oddly enough there was nothing on the optic nerve despite optic neuritis 28 years ago. Additionally there is no optic impairment despite the optic neuritis. Funnily enough he had his optic neuritis in his right eye and now all of his symptoms are also right sided (leg,hip flexors, arms, right erecta spinea muscle). MS is such a weird disease, hopefully PIPE 307. NVG-291,Lucid MS or any other study can help :)
I had IGG (?) immune response/ reactivity tests done for dairy .(cow, sheep, goat) Had no reactivity, so this made me want a cheddar, tomato and avocado sandwich on gluten free bread! 😂
Doc, what was that? You think this person have authority to chat about MS and nutrition? You think this video made world a better place, added some value? That bloke don't know how to talk, dont know what to say. Why did you do this video? quality of everything is such rubbish......
Why don't all Maasai and Inuit have MS then? Red meat is the least inflammatory food, it's the food humans evolved our brains on, and it was our main food source for 2 million years before we switched to grain agriculture only 7,000 years ago. If saturated fat from red meat caused MS, (or heart disease) our species wouldn't have gotten very far. Pasturized dairy might be a different matter. Also, vitamin B12 is vital for CNS health, and meat is the only natural source. Some of your guest's conclusions are flawed due to: 1) Food questionnaire diet studies, like Swank's, are not science and are notoriously unreliable. 2) Vitamin D needs to be taken with vitamin K2. Too much D will take calcium from bones and put it in arteries. K2 regulates and prevents that. 3) Humans were obligate carnivores for the entire Ice Age and beyond, and we weren't hunting tigers, lol. The cave paintings of Lascaux depict us hunting ruminant herd animals, not berries, for a reason 😉
You make valid points, but It is difficult to infer strong conclusions purely based on epidemiologic evidence. The Maasai and Inuit are very different from Americans and Canadians in ways aside from diet. Also in undeveloped regions, there could be some undiagnosed multiple sclerosis. As you note, they also do not consume dairy or processed food.
Dr Beaber, I want to thank you for all of the information you share, especially the videos addressing lifestyle and nutrition helps. Your approach is so open handed and yet informative and I love getting to tune in every now and then for some more encouragement.
