FUMS 110 - Using Intermittent Fasting to Manage Your MS with Cynthia Thurlow

FUMS: Giving Multiple Sclerosis The Finger

I've talked before about diet and lifestyle as a way to manage Multiple Sclerosis. It's an exciting area, with more research being done all the time!

If you've been researching this for any time, you've probably heard about Intermittent Fasting (IF). But what is it? And how could this possibly help with your MS?

My guest today is Cynthia Thurlow. She is a nurse practitioner, the CEO and founder of the Everyday Wellness Project, and an international speaker, with over 10 million views for her second TEDx talk, Intermittent Fasting: Transformational Technique.

In this episode, Cynthia explains what IF is, its effect on her own health, and the types of fasts that are available. I also talk about my own experiences of IF. As someone who loves their food, take it from me, it isn't just about stopping eating!
