After quietly managing Multiple Sclerosis, focusing on daily self-care for 13 years, I met David Lyons of MS Fitness Challenge 4 years ago and realized I could do more. MSFC helped me recognize the deficits in my daily routines. With mentorship in proper nutrition, fitness and mindset, along with optimal supplementation, I have developed a daily regimen of self-care to become the best version of myself today. Sharing what I have learned and being a positive influence of change for others living with MS has been life changing. Proud to be named a coach for David’s OptimalBody Fitness Training Program to make a true impact in the MS Community.
