MS Diet - Are Fats Good or Bad?

Is Dietary Fat Helping or Hurting Your Multiple Sclerosis (MS)? Let’s Look at the Science. 🧠🥑

Are you confused by all the conflicting advice about fat and multiple sclerosis? Low fat vs. high fat? Omega-3s vs. Omega-6s? Is saturated fat the enemy—or the answer?

In this video, I unpack what the science actually says about dietary fats and MS. From long-term observational studies to sobering new research on how saturated fats may accelerate neurodegeneration, I walk you through the evidence, what I’ve learned since my first MS relapse in 2006, and how I’ve transformed my own diet over the years.

We’ll cover:
✅ What types of fat may support brain and nerve health
✅ The role of omega-3s in myelin repair
✅ How saturated fats like palmitic acid may worsen MS progression
✅ Key takeaways from studies like the Swank Diet, Nurses' Health Study, and more
✅ Why I’m cautious about high-fat diets and the carnivore trend
✅ What I personally eat, supplement with, and recommend exploring
Whether you're newly diagnosed or looking to fine-tune your MS diet, this video has science-backed insights to help you make informed choices that support your health.
