Episode 346: Why Members of Minority Communities May Face A More Severe MS Disease Course with Dr. Annette Langer-Gould

In past episodes of this podcast, we've discussed disparities in healthcare. We've looked at evidence that shows members of historically underserved communities who are living with MS can face a more severe disease course. We've looked at studies that have shown some members of these racial and ethnic minority groups don't do as well on disease-modifying therapies, and their MS progresses more quickly.

It's often been speculated that the reason behind these disparities is based on genetics -- that members of minority communities who are living with MS are genetically predisposed to experiencing a more severe disease course.

My guest in this episode is Dr. Annette Langer-Gould, and Dr. Langer-Gould comes armed with evidence that points to a completely different set of answers for the cause of racial and ethnic disparities in MS disease severity and progression.

We're also sharing registration details for the National MS Society's MS Activist Rally on April 25th!

We'll tell you about an inverse vaccine that prevents the mouse model of MS (and we'll explain what an inverse vaccine is!)

You'll find out where you can find the just-released video progress report from the International Progressive MS Alliance.

We'll explain just-published results from an analysis that shows why anti-diabetic and weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, Jardiance, and Trulicity may be repurposed as MS therapies.

And we're sharing study results with both good news and not so great news when it comes to being diagnosed and treated for MS in a timely manner.

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