This episode is sponsored by Celgene and the MS MindShift Initiative, which aims to educate about the important role the brain plays in MS.

My guest is Jodi Johnson, who is a paid spokesperson for the MS MindShift. Jodi has been living with MS for almost 12 years after having been diagnosed in January of 2008. Since her diagnosis, Jodi has shifted her perspective on the disease to focus on what she can do, instead of what she cannot.

We'll be talking to Jodi about coping with MS through personal growth and resilience and how different lifestyle choices can have an impact on brain health. She'll also give us a look into her daily lifestyle routine which helps keep her brain healthy.

My guest is Stubhy Pandav, the lead singer of Lucky Boys Confusion and The Hoodie Life. Last year, Stubhy was diagnosed with MS. Then, Stubhy's insurance company told him that he couldn't start the disease-modifying therapy that his neurologist had prescribed.

We'll talk with Stubhy about how he's managed to navigate this first year since his MS diagnosis, and we'll also talk with him about MS Sucks: Singing for a Cure, a benefit concert that's raising funds for the Accelerated Cure Project for MS.

We're also talking about the warning that the FDA just issued about CBD. And we'll tell you why two Harvard neurologists have announced that it's time to re-think how neurologists treat MS.

If you've wondered why the cost of MS medications seems to be constantly rising, we'll tell you what a research team from Oregon State University discovered. And we'll tell you where you can sign up for the upcoming webinar, “Debunking Diet Myths.”

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
