Made it to the end and have shared. I was diagnosed with MS in 1995. First thing I did was Dr Swank low-fat diet and increased exercise. This has been a lifestyle choice ever since. Mindfulness awareness is a must. I have created my garden to breed butterflies, attractive native birds and grow my own vegetables (so my processed food list does not exist) the only thing I buy in a box is Porridge. If I can find a way to produce that myself, well, I'll just continue to work on that 😀

I enjoyed the information from this whole video. I have MS ( diagnosed in 1993) and believe a healthy lifestyle and expertise is what keeps me as functional as I am. I consider each part a tool in my toolbox. I practice yoga, asanas and meditation, have a gym membership, use physical therapy and neuroaccupunture as part of my journey. I have foot drop and spasticity in my right leg and foot, so i use what I need to move functionally, some times my foot brace, sometimes a cane, sometimes a rollator…. I have been watching and using several of your videos to help isolate and strengthen the parts of my leg and ankle which has been extremely helpful. It’s a a journey (sometimes with Frankenstein lega😂)but I am lucky to have an awesome husband and fun active life. Thanks for the videos…I am grateful to have found you channel. 🥰

Made it until the end amd thank you! I am dealing with brain inflammation for 2 years caused by Roundup exposer where i basically caused a chemical burn in my brain and everything you said about immune cells in healthy tissue really resonated with me. Also i have been cutting out at processed food and leaning heavy into anti inflammatory foods which has really helped.

I made it to the end 🙌🏾 🙏🏾💛 I am not disabled but I am very humble I have high blood pressure and I am trying to learn as much as I can to prevent stroke Etc so I thank you very very much you are very much needed🙏🏿💛💛💛

I made it to the end and watching parts again 🤗

I’m blessed with MS 😅 and when I was first diagnosed (2012), I did it all that you’ve mentioned re anti-inflammatory lifestyle/fasting.

All went down the pan during lockdown and processed foods were (or are) my best friend 😑. I’ve noticed lately that my fatigue is bad 🥱💤

I’ve always had a positive outlook 🌈🤸🏽‍♂️💕 but …

After watching, this has given me the boost to get back to my “clean” diet and daily juicing 🥤, yoga 🧘🏾‍♂️, exercise (I have a Peloton 🚴 and I need to use it more often), turmeric tea, etc

Thank you! 😊

[angelaholborough]

Thank you. I made it to the end. I've already made most of these changes but only recently realised that the mental and physical experiences I'd been having for well over a year were in part due to chronic inflammation. My food/fluid intake, sufficient uninterrupted sleep, move away from stressful situations and being more physically active have been life changing. I'm working on being more socially active. Good luck everyone!

[weiwu]

Dr Tara, thanks for your detailed introduction of stroke inflammation. I have watched until the end of this video, the gym exercise and burger king example were an excellent comment for the topic. May all those who watched this video live a healthy lifestyle.

[dadalan]

Watching all your videos. Post stroke 7 weeks. Have given me confidence to learn about what I am feeling and the things I can do to improve. Thank you

[myskcg]

I watched the entire video. I have been suffering from chronic fatigue. I’ll get some relief and then I will have a setback. I’m on a mission to understand how the human body functions normally and things that can go wrong that result in the symptoms I am experiencing. This video contained a good overview of inflammation presented well for folks who do not have a medical/biology background.

Thank you SO SO much for your videos!!! My husband is only 32 years old and recently had his second stroke (first one was at 29 years old) he has suffered from a BVAD and deals with chronic pain and doctors cant seem to help us so I am very excited to start using some of your advice, and rehab exercises from other videos. This has given me hope for my poor dear husband! Thank you!

[christamickelsson]

Great video! I must say that the main reasons for my stroke must have been stress and sleep deprivation. Also anxiety. I wish I knew it before my stroke. Now I am also stressed, do to brain fog combined work and family. This video made me realise that. Thank you Tara!!

[helenrhodes]

Yes, I made it to the end. I am a Registered Nurse with MS and I found this video to be very informative and helpful. Thank you!

[marybeck]

I made it to the end. Lots of great information. My husband has been undiagnosed since 2019. Unfortunately, he went from very active 50 year old man to wheelchair bound at 55. Thank you for all your videos. God bless you ❤️🙏🏽

[sagequeen]

[uttaradey]

I made it to the end! Amazing treasure of information! Thank you so much! God bless you 🙏🏼

[sigridmarley]

I am so glad I found your channel. I'm 49 years old and i'm a stroke survivor myself for 3.5 years. I'm just starting clean eating to reduce my fatigue, pain and concentration and the results are amazing. As you say it is good for everyone. It's amazing how your body can get so much better if you really feed it right and treat it right. I am very glad you are discussing this topic. Thank you and for all your other videos. Greetings from the Netherlands!!!

[lisaward]

Thank you Dr. Tobias for yours hours of endless study and research to provide us with such helpful information.

[mansour]

Hi
today is my first anniversary surviving my stroke. I have watched all you videos and has helped me a lot. With my 2 to 3 hours work on my recovery, good sleep, no stress and good diet I have made huge improvements and your video are mostly for new survivors which they need them the most but, this video was extremally informative for anybody at any stage. I wish all the healthy people would follow these Gide lines to stay healthy.
Tanks for everything you do.

[debraahn]

Great video as usual. And I made it to the end 😃. I loved the advice you gave at the end. It’s so important to do these lifestyle changes before looking at other modalities. Most people just don’t get that point.
