Is HOW you eat as important as what you eat?


How you’re eating is often more important than what you’re eating. If we’re eating on the go, standing up, at our desks, watching TV, we might be eating in fight or flight, which is not helpful to our bodies. (Remember, when we’re in fight or flight, our digestion shuts off due to blood being funneled […]

Pinball at the doctor


Doc: “Well, your labs look normal’ Doc: “You shouldn’t be hurting” Me: (blank stare) That’s about how my follow up with my rheumatologist went last Friday. He told me I shouldn’t be hurting. Not in a validating, ‘this is an awful symptom, you shouldn’t have to feel this way’, kinda way. He told me I […]

Black and White


Black and White. Saturated and void. Over abundance and lacking. Two very opposite words, two very opposite associations made with those words. Usually my MS symptoms would be characterized by ‘white’; void or lacking. There is a numbness that is usually present in various parts of my body at any given time but generally my back and […]

Lemons lemons everywhere…


For the past two weeks I have been in the process of doing Megan Rand, Ginger Newtrition’s Spring Detox. It was not a detox where you don’t eat, or only drink water, or juice, or starve. On the contrary my friends! It was full of flavor and food. This was a detox where you cut […]

My life has been crazzyyy busy lately. Between wedding things, doctor things and just life things, my fiancé and I decided to celebrate my birthday a weekend earlier than it actually occurred this year. So last weekend he surprised me by a weekend away in Portland Maine. Neither one of us had been there before, […]

Forced time out


My workouts last week rocked. I mean kicked ass. I felt great, strong, capable. I matched my 1RM and even went for a few extra reps in my strength work. I just knew that when I tested them again in the last week of the strength cycle, I would get several PR’s. Now we’re at this week. Kinda […]

Cups and Competitions


Egg cups for my sister! Since I’ve moved home my sister has asked for some help with her eating/nutrition. She has given me ‘total control’ over her meals. This isn’t so easy, as she is still in high school and on a different meal schedule as me. So a lot of things will have to […]

New Digs


If you follow me at all, either here or on my Instagram account (follow me to the right!) you will have seen me mention that Le fiancé and I have moved. This wasn’t a move to a cute little house, in a cute little neighborhood. Or to a sweet apartment in a trendy district. It […]

Oh I definitely did, kicked him out of my kitchen to be exact.

But I think this relationship was the straw that broke my camels back in terms of developing MS.

I can see other risk factors throughout my life, but this 10000% was the final one.

If you are in a toxic or abusive relationship, job, friendship, family- this is your sign to put yourself first and leave!

These and so many more things are helpful to me in reducing symptoms…

But do I do them all, everyday? Absolutely not 😅

Some are staples, some are supports.. 

How do you take care of your symptoms?
What’s easiest?
What’s hardest?

Diagnosis TLDR:
Scene: 23, in graduate school, working at Target full time, and unfortunately in an abusive relationship 

- vision got blotchy blurry
- spine got electrical impulse feeling with movement
- eye doc, who said get an MRI, then left a message saying don’t have a brain tumor 😲 but see a neurologist IMMEDIATELY 😲😲
- neurologist: does all the tests. More MRIs, visual field, AWFUL spinal tap 😵‍💫

Yup, MS 🧡

What was your first symptom?
what told you something was wrong?

It’s easy to outsource the understanding of our bodies to the internet and “other”

I mean I get it, I was once in an unpredictable body too- and it sucked. I didn’t understand what was happening and I would have loved for someone to say: here’s the key.

But what if… instead of looking outward for more info.. you went inward and gave yourself the information, and in doing so you helped to improve how your body feels and functions.. sounds kinda cool, right? 

I explain it all in my Slap it to Map it training.. comment SLAP and I’ll send it to you asap

Your body functioning better so you feel better in 3 minutes? 

It sounds like a stupid infomercial BS claim I know and I roll my eyes every time I type it, but.. it’s kinda true? 

Idk, I’ll let you be the final judge

It’s an easy exercise with a silly name, but it actually packs a punch and can really change how you feel. 

Imagine measurably more energy and feeling more stable and balanced- and even improving a few MS symptoms here and there too?🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Your possibilities are endless!

Take a time out for a literal minute.

It’s amazing what happens when you take the time to care for your body and nervous system.
