Episode 428: The Effects of Smoking, Consuming Alcohol, and Consuming Caffeine on Your MS with Dr. Barbara Giesser

As researchers continue to learn about MS, it becomes clear that you can change the trajectory of your MS journey and improve your quality of life by making smart lifestyle choices. Quitting smoking and watching your alcohol and caffeine consumption are smart choices for everyone, and they can pay especially big dividends if you're living with MS.

This week, Dr. Barbara Giesser discusses how smoking, consuming alcohol, and consuming caffeine can impact your MS.

We're also sharing the details about the Black MS Experience Summit taking place on November 12th, and the Hispanic LatinX MS Experience Summit taking place on November 19th.

We'll tell you about a study that revealed what may be a novel way of stimulating remyelination.

You'll meet Dr. Arman Eshaghi and hear about how artificial intelligence may impact your future MRI exam.

We'll share study results that show that carbohydrate consumption may increase the risk of an individual developing MS.

And we'll tell you about a study that looked at the connection between starting a disease-modifying therapy early and quality of life related to cognitive function and fatigue.

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