Episode 172: Preventing Holiday (and Pandemic) Stress with Megan Weigel, DNP, ARNP-C

Feeling some of the stress and anxiety that often come with the holiday season? Who could blame you? If the holidays aren't enough, this year, we're also going through what's looking like the worst part of the COVID-19 pandemic. Stress and anxiety aren't guaranteed, but they aren't exactly unexpected, either. My guest this week, Megan Weigel, is here to share some techniques and strategies that we can use to de-stress during the holidays. Megan is a nurse practitioner specializing in neurological care. As a Multiple Sclerosis Certified Nurse and a board-certified Advanced Practice Holistic Nurse, Megan brings a unique integrative medicine and holistic nursing perspective to her practice. We'll also share more encouraging news about autologous hematopoietic stem cell clinical trials. We'll tell you about the newly released National MS Society guidance on telemedicine. (And if you've downloaded the free RealTalk MS app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you'll find your copy of that guidance under the "Bonus Content" tab!) We're also talking about the very positive pilot study of a new computer-based cognitive rehab program. And we'll tell you about the launch of a first of its kind study that will help scientists understand how MS affects memory. If you're using CBD edibles to help manage some of your MS symptoms, you'll want to hear what happened when 40 brands of edibles were analyzed by an independent laboratory. We'll tell you how you can participate in a clinical trial that's going to evaluate treatments for MS fatigue (You can participate from home...and you can even get paid!) And if there are times when you just want to talk with someone who really gets it when it comes to living with MS, we'll tell you about MS Friends. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
