“Iso Diet Method” FIGHTS Multiple Sclerosis

Dear Living Well Daily Reader,

If you have multiple sclerosis (MS), you understand just how bad it really is.

The condition waxes and wanes. Sometimes you’re okay, other times you’re in pain. And facing issues with balance, numbness, weakness, vision, fatigue, and heat intolerance can become unbearable.

But the drugs the mainstream doctors give you are worthless.

Luckily, there’s an easy—and reliable—way to help keep your symptoms at bay.

A new study has discovered the power of this “iso diet method” to FIGHT BACK against multiple sclerosis.

And unlike Big Pharma’s treatments, it WON’T cost you an arm and a leg.

I’m talking about isoflavones.

Isoflavones are a class of molecules called flavonoids that are naturally:

  • antioxidant,
  • anticancer,
  • antimicrobial,
  • and anti-inflammatory.

There are over 6,000 different flavonoids, of which isoflavones are one type, and you can find them in a variety of foods.

And now, they could be your best bet for managing MS symptoms.

A group of researchers from the University of Iowa investigated how an isoflavone-rich diet could calm the brain and spinal cord inflammation that’s typically found in MS patients.

For the study, they tested a high-isoflavone diet on mice with MS for six weeks. Half of the mice were fed a placebo diet, and the others were fed a diet rich in isoflavones.

They found that the mice who didn’t eat the high-isoflavone diet had many MORE inflammatory cells and disease.

But the researchers discovered something else as well: isoflavones support a healthy microbiome. And if you’re a frequent reader of Living Well Daily, you know how important a diverse microbiome is for your health as a whole.

This study provided even more evidence to show that a happy microbiome can reduce disease-causing inflammation.

So, how do you start getting enough isoflavones?

Load up on more soy foods like tempeh, tofu, soy milk, soy cheese and yogurt, and miso. You can also get a soy-based protein powder that you can add to smoothies each day.

And if you’d like to totally revamp your diet to treat your MS, I also like the Wahls Protocol. Designed by a doctor who lives with MS, this diet can give you some amazing results. You can find out more about it right here.
