What’s the journey like for someone with MS, Multiple Sclerosis? Wendy Bjork shares with us the life changes that came with this diagnosis when she was in her 20’s. Many of us can relate to or know someone with a limiting, chronic disease. But the journey of someone with MS is another story. It is a severe disease of the nervous system. It causes difficulty in walking, speaking, and even our cognition, and worsens over time. Our guest relates how she has struggled with the damage done to her body and, equally important, how she has pushed through setbacks, overcome a future outlook filled with worry, and shifted her thinking from negative to positive.
Here are some of the topics we covered:
- How this disease impacted her family and work life
- What helped her to see the disease differently
- What toxins in her home and foods contributed to inflammation in her body and what she did to change this
- How her Four Cornerstones Program helps others with MS better understand what to expect and better manage the effects of this disease.
Learn why Wendy Bjork describes herself as the MS Warrior Queen, and how the human spirit can meet any challenge that comes our way. Her website is Hearts of Wellness, with invaluable resources for helping those with MS get their bodies back to a place of thriving, again.
