Most people don’t lose quality of life overnight.

It’s not one big symptom — it’s the accumulation

It happens slowly, through a series of daily frustrations that start out as inconveniences:

Waking up tired, even after a full night in bed

Needing more time to get going in the morning

Planning your day around bathrooms — just in case

Skipping social plans because pain or fatigue feels unpredictable

Losing focus at work and needing more recovery time

Feeling disconnected from your body or your partner

Each issue on its own may seem manageable.

But over time, they stack up — quietly shrinking your independence, confidence, and sense of self.


Pain, poor sleep, fatigue, bowel or bladder urgency, and changes in intimacy are often treated as side effects — or not addressed at all.

These “everyday” problems matter so much because these are the very things that determine whether you can:

  • Able to work consistently

  • Able to think clearly

  • Able to travel comfortably

  • Able to maintain relationships

  • Able to feel at home in your own body

When these daily functions are compromised, quality of life declines — even if lab results look “stable.”

The gap in conventional care

Most healthcare systems are designed to:

Monitor disease activity

Prescribe symptom-specific medications

Address acute problems


They are not well designed to help you manage the daily, lived experience of chronic illness.

That’s where people are often left to figure things out on their own — through trial, error, and unnecessary frustration.


A different approach: supporting daily function

The Life Worth Living Series was created to address the practical, day-to-day challenges that most determine how life actually feels when you’re living with MS or autoimmunity.

Instead of treating symptoms in isolation, this series focuses on:

  • How common issues interact with each other

  • Why small disruptions can snowball into major limitations

  • What evidence-based strategies can reduce friction in daily life

  • How improving function can restore confidence and independence

This is not about “pushing through.”

It’s about making daily life easier, more predictable, and more livable.

The goal isn’t perfection — it’s livability

Improving quality of life doesn’t require fixing everything.

What this series covers

The goal isn’t perfection — it’s livability

  • Reducing daily pain and improving sleep

    Because ongoing discomfort and poor sleep quietly drain energy, mood, and resilience.

  • Protecting your ability to work and think clearly

    By addressing fatigue, anxiety, depression, and brain fog as interconnected drivers of burnout and job loss.

  • Managing bowel, bladder, and intimacy challenges

    So daily logistics — and personal relationships — don’t dictate your choices or shrink your world.

  • Using electrical stimulation to support pain relief and function

*NEW LECTURE* How Electrical Stimulation of Nerves and Muscles Work to More Effectively Manage Acute and Chronic Pain

February 16, 2026 at 6:30 pm CT

Could electrical stimulation devices help relieve your pain?

If you suffer from chronic neuropathic pain or reduced muscle strength due to MS, autoimmune disease, or inactivity, you might benefit from a treatment plan that includes electrical stimulation devices.

These technologies have been used by elite athletes for decades to speed recovery and improve muscle growth. Now, they’re being used by people who are paralyzed or severely disabled, helping them improve their quality of life. 

In this lecture, you'll discover:

  • TENS therapy for pain management How transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation works for acute and chronic pain, particularly neuropathic pain 
  • The difference between TENS (pain relief) and NMES/FES for muscle growth and when you need which approach
  • Electrical stimulation for paralysis and severe disability — How people who have lost significant function are using these devices to improve strength, walking ability, and quality of life
  • Where and how to find qualified professionals who can design a program specifically for your needs, whether it's controlling pain or building muscle strength





Lecture 2: Neuropathic Pain, Spasticity, and Trouble Sleeping: Strategies to Help You Feel Like Yourself Again

February 23, 2026 at 6:30 pm CT

If you're dealing with neuropathic pain, spasticity, or sleep problems, you already know how frustrating it can be. Conventional treatments often fall short, leaving people struggling with significant suffering and impaired quality of life.

Neuropathic pain is particularly challenging because it doesn't respond well to typical pain medications. And when pain disrupts sleep, it creates a vicious cycle that affects everything from work performance to relationships.

But there's more you can do beyond what conventional medicine typically offers.

In this lecture, you'll discover:

  • The functional medicine pain evaluation that reveals the environmental factors contributing to pain, spasticity, and poor sleep 
  • My clinical root cause analysis for evaluating and managing patients with neuropathic pain, autoimmune pain, and wear-and-tear pain
  • A comprehensive review of conventional vs. functional approaches and how I use both in my own practice
  • The sleep-pain connection and how to break the cycle
  • My systematic approach to improving restorative sleep that actually supports healing and improved function






Lecture 3: Fatigue, Anxiety, Depression, and Brain Fog: Addressing the Most Common Drivers of Job Loss

March 2, 2026 at 6:30 pm CT

These symptoms are destroying careers (here’s what to do about them)

Fatigue, anxiety, depression, and brain fog don't just affect how you feel — they can destroy careers and derail family life.

These are the most common reasons people with chronic conditions end up unable to work. 

But here's what's frustrating: conventional medicine often treats these as separate problems with separate medications, missing the underlying connections that could make treatment more effective.

In this lecture, you'll discover:

  • The hidden connections between these four symptoms, and how treating them as interconnected issues leads to better outcomes.
  • A review of conventional vs. cutting-edge approaches plus the latest research-backed interventions that many doctors aren't aware of yet.
  • My functional medicine protocol I use to address fatigue, anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline in my clinical practice.
  • Emerging technologies and treatments that show promise for these challenging symptoms.
  • Practical implementation strategies you can start using immediately to improve energy, reduce anxiety, enhance mood, and sharpen mental clarity.






Lecture 4: Things Doctors Don't Ask About But Should: Your Bowels, Your Bladder, and Your Sex Life

March 9, 2026 at 6:30 pm CT

The health problems no one wants to talk about.

Here's an uncomfortable truth: 

The majority of people with MS, autoimmune conditions, fibromyalgia, and mental health issues will develop sexual, bladder, and/or bowel problems at some point. 

But because doctors often don't ask about these issues — and patients are too embarrassed to bring them up — they usually go unaddressed.

In this lecture, we’ll talk about all of it:

  • The underlying causes of bowel, bladder, and sexual dysfunction in chronic conditions — and why they're more common than people realize.
  • Concrete strategies to reduce accidents and urgency 
  • How to address chronic constipation or diarrhea that often accompanies neurological and autoimmune conditions
  • Restoring intimacy and the specific factors that can make this so difficult
  • Evidence-based solutions and step-by-step strategies that can improve sexual function and restore intimacy in relationships
  • Which labs to request and when to seek specialized care for bowel, bladder, or sexual function difficulties
