Correction: flax seed, not flax seed oil, is the better recommendation. The seed gives you the omega 3 fatty acids and also fiber. Oil
Has fiber removed. Sorry guy!
✔ ✔ 👍🏻 But you gotta grind it fresh, or at least freeze it immediately in an airproof container. Wishing you an easy Yom Kippur and a happy new year from Jerusalem! 🍎 🍯 ⚖️ 🖋 📖
Great video! Thank you very much indeed 👍💟
You are an awesome teacher
I grind mine in a coffee grinder and consume immediately. Flax also prevents breast cancer.
Love to hear a Neurologist talking real!!! No just meds, simple tips like these 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Looking great Dr. Boster! Thanks for the video. I truly believe good nutrition has been a key part of my living well with my MS for 15+ years now. I follow a whole food plant based diet and feel better and better each year!
Do u eat any meat? If not how do u get the nutrients typically found in meats? Just curious. Ty in advance
I have done a ton of research on intermittent fasting and started it a few weeks ago. At first I had headaches but I feel amazing now. I’ve lost 13 pounds🎉
Currently trying intermittent fasting for the 3rd time. I started with 12 hours off, then moved to 14 hours. I am now at the 16/8. That was the key for me to be successful. I found myself cheating otherwise. Long way to go but I am already losing weight. I also started walking. I can’t go far as MS has taken that from me, but I do what I can. As always, love your videos and all you do for us.
We got this!
"avoid foods with chemicals in the name you can't pronounce"
my husband, a chemist: 😎🔥
Along with your "5 a day" , your "reccomended daily intake" , "supplements " and "personalised food" . That's a whole lot of food to take in daily for people who need to keep an eye on their weight ! Here in the UK were told by experts (???) to avoid dairy , it's difficult to know who to believe ( I choose you). So much genral information given that we have to select and personalise it , to what works for you ( and that can take a long time ).
Thanks for the info , always look forward to seeing your videos . Cheers .
I've been doing Keto and IF for 3 months and have been doing quite well. I am only doing fasting 18 hours 3 times per week and have been throwing in a 24 hour fast every few weeks. I'm not doing daily fasting as I don't want my system getting used to that as a norm but rather a shock to the system to keep my micro biome on it's toes. I do add ground flax seed as a salad topping and eat lots of avocado. I've also cut out all seed oils and use only Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Avocado Oil, and EV Coconut Oil for cooking. It would have been nice to know about this style of eating 40 years ago but it'll have to do for now.
I’m in Perth Western Australia and after a blood test my GP and a score of 13, she has me on 10,000 IUD one day then 15,000iud the next and so on. People with ms should test vitamin d levels upwards of 70…I get blood test every 6 months to monitor. 🇦🇺
Thank you for the video! I notice when I drink water I feel better. I have to make the commitment to better health and this video has motivated me. 😊
Dr. Boster, as usual....your videos are phenomenal! 👍🏽💕
Thanks for the tips Dr. B! I've been following an "MS friendly" diet for over 15 years before my official diagnosis and I believe it's the reason I have little disability today. I also began intermittent fasting about 2.5 years ago, also before my diagnosis, and did notice a boost in energy and improvement in my now known MS symptoms. Personally, I have found that limiting dairy has improved my symptoms. Before my diagnosis I was adding whole milk or half & half to my coffee and noticed it caused my vision to become cloudy and blurry due to the Uthoff phenomenon. Oddly (and thankfully), it doesn't happen when eating cheese or the occasional ice cream. I currently take fish oil instead of flax, but I am aware of the studies and considering adding flax oil to my supplements. What is your opinion of fish oil?
Thank you Dr. Boster! I've often thought that food can either side line us, or keep us in the game. Processed foods should be a crime, and the companies that make them should be in prison! Love your recommendations... keep them coming!
As Always....Thank You Dr. Boster for All that do. Prior to the MonSter in me, I was a chef for about 13 years Until....MS took me out of the professional kitchen. Thankfully with some years of experience in the cooking world, I have a good amount of knowledge in that area. With a high intense level of determination to fight back, this particular area is a comfort zone for me to fight back, I am determined to continue cooking.....FROM SCRATCH & Healthy as possible....of course, as you point out a reminder for myself....I need to a better job of portions as well as doing better with Multiple Strategies to fight back & live best days possible in spite of this MonSter.
Dr. Boster, your videos push me to take better care of myself! I should put this one on repeat(with each glass of water) :)
Thanks from Canada
Thanks for providing so much helpful information! You’ve helped me so much since being diagnosed earlier this summer. Forever grateful for you ♥️
That was so very informative!! My daughter has MS and we've read how important nutrition is, however because there is so much info out there, was never was able to put it all together and have it make sense. You are the fist to explain, the why, the how and how much.. and... how to execute!! It now makes total sense!! Thank you so very much!! 👏👏👏
Thank you for the Monday morning video. Doug coffee in hand from Lyndhurst.
you live suuper close to me! hi from southampton
Weight loss is helped by snacking to keep your blood sugar levels even, I thought. I get lightheaded, blurry vision and shaky if I go a few hours without eating.
I like how common sense this advice is! Thank you!
I love this content. I started a whole food plant based Vegan🌱diet 2 years ago without much weight loss success.
BUT I will now be shopping the perimeter of the grocery store plus the frozen fruit and vegetable isle (vs meat and dairy)🌱😉👍🏼🇨🇦🌱
ThankYou Dr. Boster 👏🏼🇨🇦 without you I would feel very alone on my MS warrior journey!!🙏🌱👏🏼🇨🇦
I just started watching your videos, and I love the great advice on whole foods. I'm going to try this for myself as my symptoms have taken a decline within the last month. Can't see how this diet plan could harm anyone to stick to, in all honesty. Thank you! 😊
Awesome video Doc- always SO many questions about “ eat this? Not that”.
Thank you for guided clarification - I was surprised to see ( doing my own- looking back- that I don’t think I get enough protein 🤷🏻♀️)
So I’m going to be more aware of getting a lil extra in.
Have a great day and thank you again for all these helpful tips.
❤
#Sharingiscaring
Thank you for everything that you do!!
Thank you for the tips and recommendations doctor Aaron, excellent content as always. It's always a pleasure see your videos on a Monday morning to get us going. Have a great day.
Thank you Dr. Boster!!!❤️
Thanks doc, always giving awesome info. 😎
I'm in Canada and a level of 50-100 serum vitamin D is simply not enough for MS. Not everyone is in the united states, so broadly telling people to have a vitamin D level between 50-100 is not going to cut it for those in countries whose labs use nmol/L as a unit of measurement for vit. D. The U.S. uses ng/ml where readings and reference ranges for serum vit. D are much lower. I need between 150-200 nmol/L of vit. D. Another country that also uses nmol/L is the UK. Thank you for getting good information out on nutrition for MS, which not many neurologists do (mine never has).
Great video!
Great video! 😁
This was very helpful!
Thanks doc !
Excellent thank you
Thank you…I follow all of these suggestions but the protein area is a struggle so now I have some great hints…🙂
Thank you for the video! Protein is always a struggle for me, but I'm working on it! Excellent info as always!
I grind flax seed in my coffee grinder and consume immediately. Flax also prevents breast cancer
Great sensible advice, thanks Aaron
I find taking flaxseed oil, fiber and quinoa helps me a lot when it comes to healthy bowl movements. Now if I can remember to take them all
Thank you for the tip about stacking water consumption in the first half of the day: I think that’s going to improve my sleep pattern!!
So simple….but I never even thought of it 👍
Thank you Dr Boster - awesome video to answer such a common question- ‘What should I eat?’ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good sensible advice, my big issue is trying to drink enough water. I’ll try the glass and each meal plus more between.
Great video. This helped a lot. Thanks for all the great tips and help you give.
Excellent video as always, Aaron! Thank you for covering this important subject. My question/concern is this. I have IBS, am prone to SIBO, constipations, and kidney stones. I've removed gluten, sugar, and dairy from my diet and it's helped remove gut pain for the most part. However, my B12 is now low and I'm now getting B12 injections. My diet already follows MUCH of what you outlined, I'm floating away between water/Metamucil/tea!!! Ha! But I'm gaining weight like crazy this year, and why the sudden low B12? What else can I do about my diet that will help me lose weight? Any thoughts/recommendations are appreciated. (Apologies for the long comment!)
Organic hemp seed protein is the bees knees. 15 grams of protein per serving (4 tablespoons). 1 ingredient. Almost a complete protein. My nutritionist told me to snack as I am no where near overweight and exercise daily. I don’t eat crappy food. I read labels and am constantly learning more ingredients to avoid. I drink lots of water. Great video.
I'm interested to find hemp seed protein, because meat is sometimes not easy on my digestion. Michael, is there a particular place or brand of it that you can suggest? Thanks. Easiest place for me with shopping is usually Amazon. I'll consider other online locations to shop from.
Awesome information! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for uploading this. Mostly I’m pretty much there, but I was interested to hear you mention milk and red meat. What’s your take on those for MS patients - or is that a video for another day?
Thank for the tip Dr.Boster. 👍🧡
Any time
Good information. I would add that some medications I take state to avoid sunlight. And also what about the use of sunscreen?
Thank you, thank you, thank you
I pray that god continues to bless you. You have given us so much beneficial information.
In 2020 I had cryptosporidium and I was told it could have come from veggies I ate. I’ve been having a hard time eating vegetables and salads. I also used to get nauseous just walking through the produce aisle, but that is better now.
I use Muscle milk in my cereal, Amazon has a 365 brand with 0 sugar I usual put 2 of them with 1 really low 8 sugar per serving one in 1 of those big cereal containers and make a mix good protien and fiber, and use a muscle milk with a little water it's kinda thick, and can keep all nearby in anyroom I might fall asleep in deepending on body in case it might be a bad morning and easy to have in a room just in case!
Thanks Doc. Have you vlogged about how/whether morning and evening meds might affect IF? If so, can you point me there?
Excellent video. Thank you.
Glad it helped
Congratulations for your channel here, where you provide very useful information that is helpful to a lot of people. Related to the topic: I tried various styles of eating: vegan, paleo... and the only one that made me feel good was the omnivorous one. In fact, although I have been diagnosed with MS for 11 years by several doctors, including a lecturer, I have not found any medicine to help me and even Tysabri made my condition worse. Besides that, last year, I was diagnosed with borreliosis and 10 other conditions and I was given supplements to strengthen the immune system, by the way, looking back, it never helped me when my immunity decreased, but when I grew the body's resistance, I felt good. Can I have both MS and borreliosis? Or should I only have borreliosis and be confused with MS? I repeated the tests for borreliosis 2 times and it was the same. I hope you can help me with an answer and I want to send you my most sincere congratulations and best wishes!
Is there any versions of these for professionals? The videos are great for the elderly or the average joe 6 pack.
Could you do a longer video. Basically just doing a breakdown of all your ms reccomendations. But with the why and theory behind it?
Kind of like how hubberman does?
The why is more important then the how. The how is easy. But each why can be adjusted for each person.
Love your videos by the way.
I understand this is not your target audience. But I firmly believe you can get a lot of new viewers. Maybe even break into the new clock of RUclipsrs
Dear Aaron, thanks for those recommendations, they are really game changers. What is your opinion about BIOTIN? About 100mg x 3 per day. Do you think it promotes the regeneration/protecion of the myelin?
Thank you So Much for the “spread out your water consumption” plan!! I sleep more consecutive hours 👍😃
Glad it was helpful!
But I love diet root beer and diet Dr. Pepper 😭 I do also drink a gallon of water a day at least. But I’d be willing to give it up to live my best life
HEY DOC ! Can you do a video
On silent progression of MS with symptoms getting worse when MRI is “*stable” THANKSSSS 😊
Do you have a probiotic that you recommend?
I have been eating from 10am - 6pm. Lost about 10 lbs at first, but have been putting it back on over the past 5/6 weeks??
I cannot do aerobic exercises for very long.
I mak 95% of my meals from raw food.
I follow Paleo. I've lost 27pounds 40 more to go. I stopped drinking milk and substitute with oat or almond milk. Milk is pro inflammatory. Hope to touch base soon Dr B
Any ideas on the subject of MS and salt?
I heard the tail-end of something on radio where they correlated lower cholesterol with eating within an 8 hr time period. For the first time, my numbers were lower since we quit eating after 5.
Love this video, thank you for straight talk from the best neurologist I know. My body tells me when it doesn't like what I put in it. So, I avoid it unless I want to experience inflammation for days, I think not, but sometimes it happens! I take many supplements a day and used to be an avid beach goer until I couldn't. I do take 5,000 units of D daily. I know I need to improve my protein intake, always a challenge for me.
Hi Doc new subscriber here. Curious if u have patients who have ocular motor dysfunction from relapse (nystagmus or saccadic oscillations). I have APN & saccadic oscillations. My JH Neurologist believes I have MS (also suffered catastrophic tinnitus during this recent 10 month attack, 37/F) but Im painfully awaiting an evaluation with a MS Neurologist at Penn Med. Are u taking new patients?
Just came across one of your MS patients in another forum. Speaks highly of u. I traveled to Ohio to get diagnosed properly from Dr. Hertle as I have Vision damage specific to ms (acquired pendular nystagmus). Now seeking help from rhe Neuro immunology clinic at John Hopkins. U cannot get help in the area of Philadelphia currently. Penn Medicine Temple Drexel Jefferson have all failed, told me my MRI was clear yet John Hopkins has concerns. I'm on a year now of being untreated and undiagnosed officially.
I really would like to know should ms patients avoid milk products and meat or not? Seems like every Dr has a different opinion. Is it harmful to avoid them or not? Obviously has to supplement calcium.
I’m going to try this. I’m having a terrible time getting a diagnosis, but I have “the voice” in the back of my head. I have so many symptoms that I can’t ignore, but I have a clear MRI. I just don’t know.
Has anything better than Tysabri came on the market? Would it hurt me if I went back on it after 4 years of being off it?
On the subject of eggs: I believe they are a source not only of protein, but also of iodine - especially free range eggs. Iodine is generally lacking in the western diet and essential for remyelination, I’m led to believe.
Does it matter when I take probiotics?
I was just diagnosed a few weeks ago and I actually live in Columbus. I've been going to OSU and am about to start my first Ocrevus infusion here in the next couple weeks. I was turned onto your channel from the MS reddit page. In your experience, how does OSU stack up? Should I start coming to your office instead specifically for MS care?
Let's get you into clinic! Call us at 614-304-3444 or visit up online at BosterMS.com
You will not be disappointed if you go to Dr B! I’ve followed him from OSU to Riverside to his own clinic! He’s the best 😊
I had to change the way of walking because of foot drop.
Not sure if you heard of dr Gretchen hawley a ms P.T. very knowledgeable check her out to help with drop foot/other exercises
Doc frozen fruits and vegetables are picked ripe and contain their nutrients and flavor fyi
Dr B -
I am a fan of intermittent fasting, but, I have a question. Does chewing gum or mints in between throw off the body's metabolism for the process?
Thanx, Renee from Florida
anything under 1 gram of carbs should be ok. i.e. a tic tac should be ok.
See a lot of vids claiming keto for Ms and keto is low in fiber
Do you have book to help us follow your suggestions ❤
I did wrote an ebook on nutrition, but haven't published it yet. I hope to make it available on our website later this year.
When you are saying a glass of water, how many ounces would that be before each meal? I had gastric sleeve surgery 5 years ago and I still struggle with drinking enough so I really know I’m not hydrated enough.
I understood him to say 20oz. He said women should get a total of 100 oz. So broken into 5 servings is 20oz each. That’s a big glass. 😳 I haven’t had any stomach surgery and I know my stomach won’t hold 20oz at meal time. I’m already peeing all the time and I try to get 64 oz. He did say if your urine is clear you’re likely getting enough water, and if your urine is yellow you aren’t getting enough.
With MS I’ve found my bladder is not exactly my friend. When I try to drink adequate amounts of water I basically live in the bathroom. Will this lessen in time or…..? It’s the number one reason I don’t drink enough water on a daily basis
💔. I love this channel. Dr. diagnosis me with cel. Ataxia. He says no cure. No meds. Thank u for your teaching. I am doing well..
I eat alot of fish because all of the MS meds and steroids ruined all of my teeth.
When I got diagnosed with MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS I was 17 in 1995.
I started bodybuilding and eating healthy food around 8000 calories a day.
Now I'm in my 40s and I can't eat healthy food because of my DENTURES.
what meds ruined your teeth?
Please, also show the metric values next time. Nobody in the rest of the world knows how much 100 oz is 😀
It would be about 3 liters I think.
