  • Thank you, Dr. Gretchen

    I have learned so much from listening to these podcasts. I’ve been dealing with this for the last two years and probably the last nine months I gotten some understanding, and Dr. Gretchen’s podcast and Instagram page has helped me out tremendously. Her passion for this chronic illness is amazing and she’s great to listen to and very helpful, such a blessing!! Wow!

  • Wealth of MS info. Love this podcast!

    I have obtained so much more knowledge here than I have anywhere else related to multiple sclerosis. I was feeling very hopeless before I found Dr. Gretchen Hawley. She tends to ask the right questions as well, which is extremely helpful for getting the information that will be most helpful for us. I also love the length of these episodes. Not too long, not too short.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

299. MS & Vibration Plates: Benefits, Risks, and How to Use Them Safely with Debby Pelletier
Q: Can vibration plate therapy help with MS symptoms like walking difficulty and spasticity?
Yes, it can help with several MS-related symptoms by providing passive exercise and weight-bearing benefits, with symptom-driven protocols. The guest emphasizes starting conservatively, using the plate to support or complement other therapies, and adjusting based on daily symptoms.
295. MS & Menopause: Are Your Symptoms Changing…or Are Your Hormones? | Dr. Rhonda Voskuhl
Q: Can menopause be mistaken for MS symptom progression, and how can patients differentiate the two?
Menopause can mimic or worsen MS-related cognitive and fatigue symptoms without new inflammatory lesions on MRI; clinicians look for changes in inflammation on MRI and clinical symptoms like processing speed and verbal memory to distinguish inflammatory activity from menopausal effects, and may consider neuroprotective hormone strategies when inflammation is not evolving.
281. The Science of Nervous System Regulation with Gina Coil
Q: Your question is, do you like to plan things out in detail or be spontaneous?
Gina explains she tends to be spontaneous but recognizes the value of having a plan to move forward, and she enjoys exploring in new directions when travel planning.
