8. MS, movement, and rebuilding a life you love with Dr. Teri Jaklin, ND

“You’re never too old. You’ve never had your condition too long. And you’re never too advanced to make positive change.”This conversation stayed with me long after we stopped recording.In this episode, I sit down with naturopathic doctor Teri Jaklin to talk about what it means to keep choosing life - even after being handed a diagnosis that could have easily defined her future.Teri was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in her twenties.One neurologist told her to go home and get her affairs in order. Another told her to “run along and have a good life.”She chose to believe the second one.More than 40 years later, she’s still rebuilding, adapting, moving, gardening, working, creating, and finding ways to fully participate in her life.This conversation is about much more than MS.It’s about mindset. Neuroplasticity. Movement. Identity. And the role our beliefs play in shaping what happens next.In this episode, we explore:• How mindset influences healing and resilience• Why movement is one of the most powerful tools for the brain• The connection between neuroplasticity and intentional movement• How to adapt your body and environment instead of giving up• Why nutrition and cooking real food matter more than most people realize• The importance of building a healthcare team that believes in you• What it means to live beyond a diagnosisOne of the biggest takeaways from this conversation:Your diagnosis is information.It does not have to become your identity or your future.If you’re looking for support around movement, hormones, and healthy aging:Join my free community → #womenwhomove (https://drshawnadarou.com/start-here)  Download my free guide → Fueling for Hormones & Metabolic Health (https://drshawnadarou.com/fueling-for-health) Reminder:This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for personalized medical advice.Connect with Teri: Website: https://www.transform.ms/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTeriJaklin Subscribe, rate, and review to help more women rethink what’s possible at any age.
