On this week's episode of the Brain Health Podcast, host Dr. Daniel Correa is joined by runner, reporter, content creator, and MS advocate Elizabeth Pehota, who shares her journey from being diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS just days before a big race to setting a Guinness World Record at the 2025 Chicago Marathon. She discusses adapting exercise, navigating treatment decisions, finding support, and planning for the future while living with MS. Dr. Riley Bove, professor of neurology at the University of California, San Francisco, and a neurologist at the UCSF Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroinflammation Center, joins the conversation to discuss pregnancy and MS, emerging research, and what the future of MS treatment and care may hold.
