Episode 417: Music and the Body with Emmy Award-Winning Composer Jeff Beal

If you've watched the critically acclaimed series, House of Cards, on Netflix, or the OCD detective series, Monk, on the USA Network, you've already listened to some of five-time Emmy award-winning composer Jeff Beal's work.

This week, Jeff joins me to discuss his journey as an artist and as someone living with MS. We're also sharing all the details about the free event taking place at the Broad Stage in Santa Monica, California, on September 1, when Jeff joins conductor Leonard Slatkin and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra for a free concert featuring three of Jeff's works, including a world premiere!

We're also explaining a newly introduced AI-based model of MS that replaces the MS subtypes (relapsing-remitting, secondary progressive, primary progressive) with a continuum that tracks four different states.

We'll tell you about a study that identified specific gut bacteria that may determine whether an individual is susceptible to MS.

And we'll share the details of a study that identified the first genetic marker that can accurately predict how someone will respond to a disease-modifying therapy.

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