You’re Not Giving Up Thanksgiving.
You’re Getting It Back.
And making it better than before.
My First Thanksgiving
Half my face was paralyzed from a flare. I had double vision. My family gathered around a table full of traditional food.
“I sat there with a pitiful salad while everyone else enjoyed turkey, stuffing, and pie. I was so depressed. I hated MS. I hated my life.”
My Thanksgiving Now 🌿
My husband and I roast an organic chicken in our Dutch oven. It’s so juicy and tender—way more delicious than any turkey we ever made.
“Our sides are incredible. Our traditions are ours. MS doesn’t get to take this from me anymore.”
You’re Dreading Thanksgiving, Aren’t You?
Does This Sound Familiar?
🟧 You don’t know what you can actually eat
🟧 You’re terrified of feeling left out while everyone else enjoys “real” food
🟧 You’re exhausted just thinking about cooking
🟧 You’re worried your family will pity you
🟧 You’ve lost hope that food can ever feel joyful again
I’ve been exactly where you are. And I found a way forward.
What If This Thanksgiving Could Be Different?
Imagine This…
✔ Sitting down to a Thanksgiving meal that makes your mouth water
✔ Feeling PROUD of what you’re eating (not deprived)
✔ Understanding why these foods actually help your MS
✔ Creating new traditions that feel better than the old ones
✔ Giving your family a meal they’ll ask for again next year
This isn’t a fantasy. This is what happened for me, and what this meal plan can do for you.
Why This Meal Plan Is Different
Built on Breakthrough Science
This is the FIRST MS meal plan designed around the latest groundbreaking EBV research and Nobel Prize-winning Treg discoveries about autoimmune diseases. Every meal feeds your regulatory T cells and keeps Epstein-Barr virus in check.

Created by Someone Who Gets It
Not a wellness influencer. Not a celebrity chef. I’m a real person with MS who sat at that table with a sad salad and refused to accept that as my future.
Actually MORE Delicious
This isn’t “healthy versions” of sad food. My Dutch oven chicken is legitimately more tender and flavorful than turkey. My cranberry orange relish beats the canned stuff by a mile. This is food you’ll WANT to eat.

Fatigue-Proof Prep Timeline
Standing all day isn’t an option with MS. This includes a day-by-day timeline that spreads the work across the week—color-coded by energy level. Make the soup when you have help, assemble the salad in 5 minutes on Thursday. On Thanksgiving Day, you’re mostly reheating and resting.
Your Thanksgiving Inclusion Strategy
You’re not eating “diet food” while everyone else celebrates. You’re creating a meal so good, your family will want what YOU’RE having. No more sitting on the sidelines.
