- “You’re whole food plant based? What do you eat?” I often get asked these questions. In this video I share what I eat in a day to help manage my multiple sclerosis (MS). I eat a whole food plant based diet (WFPB) that is full of nutrients and anti-inflammatory foods and it is easier than you might think!

Would you like to see more full day of eating videos?
Yea pls!! New the the MS lifestyle and diet and I’m struggling to find variety.
@@michelleslaughter2582 Look for this week's video on Sunday. I go through what I eat in a day. Try to be creative with your foods! There are over 20,000 kinds of edible plants out there. Check out this video for inspiration ua-cam.com/video/tKxF61iaozE/v-deo.html
Yes plz
I was diagnosed in 1994 at age 29. I remained A Symptomatic until 2009 when I became my parents caregiver and my stress level increased. I have never taken any meds and have not had many episodes since 2011. I manage my MS through a strict Carnivore diet, exercise and prayer. I have not had any new lesions in 8 years. I know my body and what's best for me better than any doctor who is in the business of making money.
Thanks for watching Beachy. I am glad you are doing well!
Praise God! I was diagnosed in 2004 after a bad bout of vertigo which started in 2003. Numbness and tingling and weakness started after that. I didn’t want to do any meds so I fasted and prayed and did natural supplements. I also went vegan for about 18 months and that really seemed to help also. I had been fine until recently where I was dealing with a ton load of stress. I also recently had changed up my diet by eliminating all seed oils and had instead been using lots of saturated fats like butter, ghee, coconut oil, and I’d also use olive oil. I think I threw my system out of whack bc now, 20 years after my diagnosis, I’m having a terrible bout of vertigo, I lost hearing in my right ear and I was starting to get some numbness and tingling again. I had started back on meats for the last 18 years, but I think I need to try this vegan approach again. It really did seem to help the first time around. I’m glad that you’re healthy and that the carnivore diet is working for you. 🙏🏾
Hello, thank you so much for your inspirational text, I am trying to eat anti inflammatory, but it seems the stress is what I need to control. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this video and the helpful tips. I was just diagnosed with MS and am doing all the research I can for home management. I’m still in the hospital now and I found your videos. ❤
Hi Natilee! Welcome! I am sorry you are in the hospital still and the diagnosis. I am so glad you find my videos helpful! Please be gentle with yourself and know that you may feel ALL the emotions over the next year or two and that it is completely normal. It does get better! Hopefully you will get to the point where you can view your MS as just a condition you live with.
Thank you for making this a little less scary. I really do appreciate it.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
I literally got my diagnosis confirmed today per spinal tap results. Finally found a video talking about actual foods to eat. Everything I see leads me to a program that I have to buy to get the answers I am looking for.
Hi! Welcome! I am glad you found my channel! Diagnosed today? How are you doing? It can be a big challenge adjusting after diagnosis. Try to be gentle with yourself.
Please look in to Dr Aaron Boster, MS neurologist, here on UA-cam. I was diagnosed in 2007, have had numerous neurologists. He is really incredible. Sending you love, strength and peace.
Thank you for sharing ... oh and the humming birds are so beautiful.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video, lots of good info.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Thanks for towel in the greens box tip!!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Hard to believe you’re someone who ever gets sick. You seem so energetic and healthy
Thanks for watching Diane. I don’t get sick very often!
So happy to find such an amazing videos, it is so helpful and inspiring! Thank you so much! Lot´s of tips, articles and protocols in the internet can be very confusing and overwhelming. I’ve been diagnosed 2 weeks ago and Wahls protocol was the first book I’ve bought. First thought - I can’t eat that much greens and I can’t leave this way 😂. But the diet you present looks much more doable and reasonable. Sorry if the question is stupid, but lactose free dairy doesn’t work as well, right? And what are your thoughts on Ghi butter?
Thanks for watching Elena! Try increase our greens slowly. They are some of the most nutrient dense foods we can eat. I avoid all dairy as there are proteins called butyrophilins that look like our myelin that may get through a leaky gut and cause our immune system to go after them and might attack our myelin. The saturated fats in dairy are also a problem. There are many studies showing that those with MS that reduce saturated fats fair much better.
You're awesome and so is your channel, thanks for sharing. PS I love your tatt.
Thanks Justin! I appreciate you watching!
And my tatt is a good reminder that no matter what happens, I will be ok.
Vickie,
I would also like to see more videos of the foods that you eat every day, please and thank you🙏🌹
Yummy! Great video!
Thanks for watching Suki!
So nice to see someone eating healthy with Ms i was diagnosed with Huntingtons disease and i feel diet and exercise help me alot i follow mind diet which is nuts fish beans chicken and a salad once a day i love the green fruit smoothie mixed dark greens with fruit i love it and i eat blueberries alot
Thanks for watching! Sounds like you are doing awesome with your diet! It is really amazing how well our bodies respond to good nutrition isn’t it?
Oh yes absolutely 😊 hope you are doing well
Great video my husband has ms and I will try some of your recipes.
Thanks Suzette! Let me know which ones you try and how you and your husband like them!
@@EvenSoItIsWell yes thanks so much.
Dear Vickie, what a yummy day! We’ll done!
Thank you!
Thanks!
Hey Donald! Thanks for the support!!
Love your diet and food. Please keep sharing. I was newly dx and not sure what to do. Got Dr Swanks book on MS diet and Dr Wahls also. Any suggestions which is better?
Thanks for watching! Any of the “MS diets” that focus on more real and whole foods will be helpful. I would suggest looking t the Overcoming MS program as well. It has a lot of solid research behind it and is more than just diet. overcomingms.org
I was diagnosed with MS after eating plant based for 20 years. Plant based made me bloated with water retention in my belly and I farted all day. I had no muscle, felt weak and tired, irritable and when menopause came, I was struck hard and never recovered 20 years later. When I changed to meat based, I grew muscle without exercising, feel stronger and more energetic. It's certainly not true that red meat and saturated fat is bad for MS because our bodies crave both and MS sufferers who become strict carnivores completely reverse their condition. This hasn't happened to me as I can't digest the large amount of fat required, so I'm satisfied that my immune system has improved and I generally feel stronger and have more energy.
Thanks for watching. I am glad you are feeling better. I have been looking into the research into carnivore diets and, unfortunately, there is no data to support it at this time. There are only anecdotal stories.
I'm from New England too!
You are!?! We should have lunch! I am in north east Connecticut.
In Boston 😊
@@victoriaandreevna2658 howdy neighbor!
Yes please.xx
Thanks for watching! I will definitely make more.
great job
Thanks for watching.
Hi thanks for the great video, We should avoid Gluten bt the bread you were eating doesn't it contain Gluten? or you can eat Glute?
We should avoid gluten if we have Celiac or gluten sensitivity. I do not have either.
Ma'am, you look so healthy and wonderful! Take care and God bless you as you proceed on your health journey 🙏🌹
I cannot eat rice and I love it so much! Also, I can't eat bread, legumes, bananas, or Maple syrup because all those are high in carbs
Thanks for watching. I am sorry you can’t eat all of those. Perhaps your gut biome isn’t happy? Have you read Fiber Fueled by Dr. Will Bulsiewicz? In it he talks about (in part) getting our guts healthy and then reintroducing foods.
@@EvenSoItIsWell
Thanks for your response, beautiful lady! I've been a type two diabetic for the past 23 years; I USED to take Glucophage 2000 mg daily, then lessened the dosage to 1000 mg, until recently I'm controlling it by consuming low-carb, moderate protein, and fats, hence in my original comment I mentioned about NOT eating high carbs; I've to be extremely careful with what I consume.
Yes, I've been watching Dr. Will Bulsiewicz for the past 2 years, also many other channels. Some of them are Dr. Alan Mandell, Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Sten Ekberg, Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Ken Berry,
Pastor Dennis Pollock and many others. I want to learn as much as possible and adapt it to my daily life so that I can live without any complications!
Take care, lovely lady, thank you again and God bless 🙏🌹
@@skinnydee1886 oh I see! Good on you for watching your diet and being able to reduce your medication!
@@EvenSoItIsWell
Recently I'm controlling it by consuming low-carb, moderate protein, and fats; you've missed that sentence☺️
I've stopped the Glucophage!
after being diagnosed w/MS in '09 and having been a big fan of youtube vids to help me in my journey, i'm very impressed w/your channel. i like how you have figured out a routine that works for you. keep up the good work 👊
Thanks Jakea714! I appreciate that. We are all on this journey together but individually, like snowflakes. I hope that my channel helps you along the way.
I eat cous cous salads alot with habanero hot sauce yummy 😋
I love spicy sauces!
Water coffee smoothie salad/proteins then at night nuts No carbs after 2 Sweet veggies and fruits are carbs I changed what I ate, to when I ate it and the energy, regularity, clarity, and deeper REM was life changing Also 10ths went missing after 3 days never to be found again
“10th went missing “? What are 10ths?
@@EvenSoItIsWell typo or I don’t like to address a diet as a way of losing weight
U stopped all carbs like rice ?
Hi there, reagrading the flax seeds you might be a bit careful since they have naturally high levels in Omega 6. Do you get your blood checked to monitor your omega 3 to omega 6 ratio? Thanls for sharing, it is really motivating to see someone with MS eating so well.
Thanks for watching! And thanks for commenting. Yes, I work with a naturopathic doctor and get my blood checked regularly. You are right that we need to keep an eye on our ratios.
@@EvenSoItIsWell Watching others is a real inspiration. Your video was the reason why I did not get a pizza today but instead ate my quinoa salad from a few days ago (it was refrigerated ;) )
@@relledom good on you!! Every healthy choice we make is important!
I also try to fast after 6:30 pm
I am thinking about shifting my fasting window to earlier in the day.
You look great❤
Thank you and thanks for watching.
I absolutely cannot eat cruciferous vegetables. My gut is wrecked for days if I do.
Oh no! It may be a sensitivity or your gut microbiome is not used to the sulforaphane or the high fiber. Maybe try just a bite or two and try again in a day or two. The gut may populate with the microbes and be able to handle them better.
Please share the medication you are taking along with your diet. & Which yoga & exercise are helpful to cope up gradually, else anything if u suggest will be a great help ... 🙏🏻 Thank you
I am currently taking the generic of Copaxone, but work with your doctor on which medication is right for you. I like hatha and yin yoga. One of my favorite UA-cam channels is Yoga with Adriene. My suggestion is commit to taking exquisite care of yourself. The five things I focus on are a whole food plant based diet, exercising regularly, getting good sleep, practicing stress reduction, and taking my medication.
I eat Kabsa every other day. I just love hot meals and can’t eat cold dishes too often. I kept my regular unhealthy diet as is and added some fruits and veggies to get some nutritions.
I love rice dishes. What spices do you use in your Kabsa?
My mom has ms and cant walk good can you make a video of that what jou have to do
Thanks for watching. I can't give medical advice and I am not sure what is causing your mom's walking problems but there is a physical therapist that I know that has some videos that may be helpful. Check out Dr. Gretchen Hawley here. I hope your mom can improve!
www.youtube.com/@DoctorGretchenHawley
Are you on infusions? Thanks. Ocraves?
I am currently on the generic of Copaxone, but would consider changing if needed.
Hi, Can I ask were you always this healthy? I am in the process of getting diagnosed myself and my diet completely sucks so its an area that will have to change 😢
Thanks for watching. No, I was not always healthy. Before my first discernible relapse, I mostly ate the standard American diet. I didn’t get good sleep at all. I never practiced mindfulness or meditation. I was not out of shape per se but didn’t exercise very much.
I am so glad you are starting to change you diet. Let me know how the diagnosis goes and how you are doing.
@@EvenSoItIsWell Thank you for responding. That gives me some hope that even though I am starting from a not so great place, it's possible. Also thanks for your videos it's keeping me optimistic 🙌
Do you drink any particular type of bottled water??
I drink tap water. We have a well so no chemicals.
Do you think many MS sufferers would benefit from a *low*-protein WFPB diet rather than your moderate protein diet?
Some people are worried about soy and seem to benefit from lean meats and I'm wondering if it's the amino acids high in meat that predominately are the 'magic' behind symptom relief in many keto types.
I get about 40 - 50 g fiber/day often including soy.
Thanks for watching and the question Justin. I am not sure what you mean by low protein. The recommendations I base my eating on are 0.8 grams per kilogram (0.36 grams per pound) of body weight. If we go lower than that we may experience muscle loss, fatigue and some other symptoms.
If the concerns around soy are the phytoestrogens, there is more recent research that shows it is not a problem. There is, however, research showing the saturated fats in meat (even lean meat) can lead to worse outcomes for people with MS.
Here are a couple of links that may be helpful. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
www.healthline.com/health/phytoestrogens#foods
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6132382/
@@EvenSoItIsWellthanks for the reply. I'm aware that phytoestrogens are not harmful, and I like soy personally. I follow Dr Gregor and I'm *not* looking to challenge vegans.
My general concern is that soy can mimic human tissue and trigger autoimmune reactions in susceptible individuals, likely via a leaky gut, but I also know it is the best vegan source of the amino acids necessary to produce glutathione which some similarly ill people may need more of than normal.
I consider low protein less than, as a percentage of calories, brown rice provides.
@@EvenSoItIsWell That white paper covers a lot of questions like a low protein high vegetable diet and now I know to search for "antigenic mimicry" to find out whether soy is dangerous to MS sufferers.
@@justinhale5693 thanks! I have not seen research on soy mimicking human tissue and the concerns foe autoimmune reactions. Do you have research you can share? I would love to read more about it.
@@EvenSoItIsWell I didn't mean to give the wrong impression. I don't have knowledge that soy does this. I certainly have concerns over glyphosate so we get organic tofu and the occasional whole soy foods like tempeh, but I have never read a white paper that did more than *speculate* on an antigenic autoimmune relationship of soy similar to milk and islet beta-cells for type-1 diabetes.
I'm looking for my family now because even though my wife had a bad experience after having soy, we both are concerned about the saturated fat in animal products, even low-fat options and fish which is typically higher in histamines and heavy metals.
I'm a bit confused by all the MS diet tips. Firstly, I thought coffee was a CNS stimulant which makes it a no-go for people with MS. I'm not even going to mention the syrup that you put in it.
You also put soy beans in your salad which are delicious, but once again I thought Legumes were off the menu for MS patients. Can anyone explain?
It can be confusing. There a many different “MS diets”. The thing that they have in common is they all feature whole real foods and are better then the standard diets that most people eat. I am not aware of caffeine being a problem for people with MS but would be interested in research on it if you have it.
The maple syrup is a very small amount and is lower on the glycemic index than white sugar. It also has some nutrients in it.
The fear around legumes is lectins but they are not a problem when they are cooked. Legumes have been part of a healthy diet for thousands of years.
I have studied diet extensively, have a certificate in plant based nutrition from eCornell and took a class at the Cleveland Clinic on preventing and reversing disease with diet.
If you’d like to see the studies about legumes let me know! I will post links for you!
@@EvenSoItIsWell Thank you for the reply. I know Bob Cafaro, who beat his MS into remission, claims that he stopped drinking coffee because it stimulated the immune system. Please send me the info about legumes. The more information I can get the better it will be for me. Thank you
@@KP-pc2zy yes, I am very familiar with Bob Cafaro’s story. He is doing amazing!
Here are a couple of links about legumes. If they are properly prepared they are not a problem. Even water can become toxic if we consume it in amounts that our bodies can’t handle. 😉

Curious to know,
shouldnt MS patients avoid Soy products?
Thanks for watching. No, no need to avoid soy. There was some old limited studies showing there may be some concerns but they have long since been disproven.

Hi... I diagnosis with MS in 2019. I didn't have any further attack, everything is normal from last 4 year.
But I'm scared about my future. I'm only 21 year old.
Does in ms everyone because paralysed with time??
Hi thanks for watching. No, not everyone becomes paralyzed. About 70% of people with MS never need a wheelchair. But even if you do, you can still live a full and fulfilling life!
@@EvenSoItIsWell follow whal's protocol. Terry whal's was in wheelchair and she's perfectly fine now!
@MohammadAsif-tu2os thanks for watching. I am very familiar with Terry Wahl’s protocol. She is doing very well. Her program includes many of the same things I am doing to live well with MS.
@@EvenSoItIsWell I'm also getting myoclonic jerks. Are they due to brain lesions?
@@MohammadAsif-tu2os I, unfortunately, can't give medical advice. Myoclonic jerks can be caused by many things including brain and spinal cord issues. Have you spoken with your doctor about them yet?
gluten and casein?
I do eat gluten (but if you are celiac or gluten sensitive avoid it). I do not eat casein as I am whole food plant based.
Did u take any chemotherapy to cure this disorder?
Thanks for watching! I am not cured. There currently is no cure, but I am living well with it! I have not taken any of the chemo like drugs. The medication I am currently on is the generic of Copaxone.
@@EvenSoItIsWell Thank you for reply... Your reply help me like a therapy in this situation... Keep smiling..❤️from India.
@@EvenSoItIsWell there is a cure. Watch how Terry whal's cured herself with diet. And there are few more people.
what medication do u use?
Thanks for watching! I am currently on the generic of Copaxone, but would consider changing if relapse while on it.
@@EvenSoItIsWell gotcha, thanks for your answer❤when was the last time u relapsed?
@@alexhopestranger7386 my first relapse was in 2006 but I was not diagnosed at that time. I did start making changes to my diet and lifestyle. I did not have another relapse until 2016 and was diagnosed in 2017. That is when I started Copaxone. I have not had another relapse since!
@@EvenSoItIsWell that sounds great! And u look great! Do u think that medicine contributed to the fact that u haven't relapsed since? Or was it mostly your lifestyle?
@@alexhopestranger7386 so hard to say. It is probably a combination of both!
Aren't legumes harmful for MS?
Thanks for watching. No, the lectins are not a problem as they all but disappeared when the beans are cooked.
@@EvenSoItIsWell thanks a lot for the answer. Just found your channel and I love it!
@@liliayu7314 thanks so much! Please let me know if you would like to see any of the research on the benefits of legumes. 🙂
@@EvenSoItIsWell absolutely! Thanks again❤️
Please make medication from
Thanks for the video! For a long time now I’ve been wondering what I should eat with MS, but now decided that I want to die.
Jk great stuff 🙂.
Lol! I often tease and say I eat only twigs and bark. In actuality, I eat a much more varied diet now than before I started eating this way. There are over 20,000 kinds of edible plants out there!
@@EvenSoItIsWell very true. I appreciate you sharing this with everyone 🙂.
I kept eating sugar and cheese for the last year without intermediate fasting and a lot of stress so I think my brain is destroyed 🤣🤣 that is so sad😥
It is sad because I kept the healthy routine for three years and I blew it last year😥
Sounds like you had a tough year. You can still return to healthy routines.
@@EvenSoItIsWell hope so🙏
You don't eat meat on purpose?
Thanks for watching. Yes, no meat on purpose. 😉
I’m a little shocked that you eat soy it is so bad for you you might want to mention the kind of soy that is best. Also when fasting starting out your day with sugar is terrible. I’m sorry I’m not trying to be rude…
Thanks for watching Lisa! I have looked into soy and have not found compelling research against it. If you have some research too share, I am always open to reading new research.
Maple syrup is natural and very good for the body. Full of Zinc, potassium, manganese, calcium, and antioxidants. It also reduces muscle inflammation.
Is shilget. bad for ms it boost my immune system and that’s make me tired
Thanks for watching. I have not heard of shilget.
