Episode 391: Choosing the Right Mobility Device with Dr. Evan Cohen

MS can limit your ability to get around and do the things you like to do. And when that happens, the right mobility device can be a game-changer when it comes to staying safe, staying active, and improving your quality of life.

This week, Dr. Evan Cohen joins me to discuss how to know when it's time to consider a mobility device, and how to choose the right mobility device for you.

We're also presenting findings from two separate studies that shed significant light on how the gut microbiome interacts with the brain and how its composition varies among individuals with MS.

We'll tell you what happened when a research team gave a multiple-choice "test" measuring MS expertise to neurologists and neurology residents and then gave the same test to the leading artificial intelligence platforms.

And we'll share an opportunity for you to participate in MS research by taking the PROMS Initiative's eHealth survey.

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