Lifestyle habits for creating your best life with MS
I’m so excited to share that my new eBook, Thrive, is finally here!
This little book is the culmination of everything I’ve tried to do with Best Life with MS. It brings together nearly 30 years of lived experience, research, and real-world strategies for creating a life that’s not just about managing MS — but truly thriving with it.
We’re not just a body — we’re one big human system
One thing I’ve realised over the years is that we’re not a collection of separate systems — a body, a brain, a heart, and a spirit. We’re more like a möbius strip: every part of us influences every other part.
Modern science is catching up to this idea. Once-separate fields like neuroscience, biology, and psychiatry are now converging. The evidence from the gut microbiome is astonishing — showing that what we eat affects our brain, mood, immune system, and even our MS symptoms.
So, in Thrive, I’ve kept things simple. I break life down into four interconnected dimensions:
Body. Mind. Heart. Spirit.
Each one affects the others. And in each, there are simple, evidence-based non-pharmacological ways to improve how you feel and live.
BODY: The foundation of thriving
This is where MS symptoms show up, so we start here.
In Thrive, we explore:
- Food – real food (not fake food!), and how to get the nutrients your body actually needs to heal and perform.
- Movement – how exercise builds resilience, reduces inflammation, and is literally neuroprotective.
- Sleep – the unsung hero. Think of it as the dishwasher for your brain, flushing out toxins and preventing long-term cognitive decline.
MIND: Calming the storm
Anyone with MS knows that stress is a major trigger. For too long we were told it wasn’t — but science now confirms what we’ve always known.
In Thrive, I share evidence-based ways to reduce stress and improve mental health.
You’ll find tools to:
- Calm your nervous system
- Create boundaries with media and social media
- The simple exercise that deeply calms the nervous system
HEART: Connection and compassion
Our relationships and emotional worlds play a massive role in how we feel. The Heart section of Thrive helps you strengthen the relationships that matter most — and create new ones that align with who you are now.
You’ll find simple ways to connect with others more deeply, feel supported, and cultivate the kind of love and belonging that sustains you.
Build relationships that lift you to your highest ground, rather than drain you.
There’s even a relationship checklist to help you reflect on your connections — at work, with family, and friends — and decide where to nurture, repair, or release.
SPIRIT: Joy, meaning, and purpose
Finally, we get to the Spirit. This is where the magic happens.
Drawing on ideas made popular by thinkers like Dr Joe Dispenza, Thrive helps you find that higher frequency — the sense of joy, purpose, and alignment that makes life meaningful.
You’ll explore:
- What brings you joy every day
- The science behind your existence (spoiler: the odds of you being here are roughly the same as winning Powerball billions of times in a row!)
- Practices that reconnect you to gratitude, purpose, and possibility

Lifestyle Habits that Make All the Difference
When it comes to taking medications, you and your healthcare team know best what’s right for you.
Thrive is not concerned with medicines. Take what you need, if you need. But try these basic lifestyle habits as well. These make all the difference to your lived experience with MS, your potential recovery, and your disability progression if you have any.
Remember, I can’t guarantee the outcomes you’ll have, so seek your own independent advice. No part of Thrive is intended to treat, diagnose, or cure your MS. Read the disclaimer
If you have any questions or have any suggestions to add, please get in touch. I would love to hear from you.
Be well XO
