In episode #167, Sanam Saeedi shares her perspective on living with MS, fatigue, walking and energy. Diagnosed in 2019, she explains how symptoms such as foot drop, balance issues and fatigue changed her daily life — and why pushing through is not always the best answer.

As a neurological movement and fatigue coach, Sanam focuses on awareness, pacing, stabilization, strengthening and tracking. Her message is practical and encouraging: MS requires strategy, not just motivation. By understanding patterns in sleep, stress, nutrition, energy and movement, people with MS can make small, sustainable changes that support confidence and quality of life.

Here you can find the complete shortened interview transcript.

Sanam Saeedi: Trust the process.

I want people to believe that they can improve. It may not happen quickly. It may take time and consistency. But improvement is possible.

You do not have to do everything at once. Start where you are. Learn your patterns. Make small changes. Keep going.
