Every Thursday we drop a new conversation that reveals another facet of the reverse aging possibility, always with the understanding that we are energetic beings and our cells can heal themselves given the proper signals. Light, peptides, relationships, mitochondria, energy, spiritual work - we go deep into what really matters, because we can have both the energy of our youth and the wisdom of our years.

205: Christina Applegate & MS Misdiagnosis: What Happens When Doctors Get It Wrong? A Conversation with Former MS Patient Brigid Bandomer
Episode 205
Thursday, 29 October, 2026
📺 Watch the Video on Spotify, YouTube & RumbleJoin our Coach & Practitioner NetworkChristina Applegate & MS Misdiagnosis: A Conversation with Brigid BandomerActress Christina Applegate recently shared that, after five years of living with an MS diagnosis, her doctor told her she does not have multiple sclerosis. But her symptoms haven’t disappeared, and now she’s searching for answers.Her story has brought attention to a question many patients know intimately: What happens when the diagnosis you’ve lived with no longer explains what’s happening in your body?Meredith and Amy speak with holistic nurse and health coach Brigid Bandomer, who spent years living with an MS diagnosis and severe symptoms before finding an integrative approach to her care. Brigid shares her experience, the questions she still has about her diagnosis, and how her health and understanding of what was possible began to change.For years, Brigid experienced weakness, falls, speech difficulties, migraines, and periods when she spent months in bed. She received care at an MS specialty center, but when her symptoms became more complicated and her treatment options changed, a friend encouraged her to visit an integrative physician.Brigid arrived skeptical. As a conventionally trained nurse, she was unfamiliar with the approach she encountered. She describes her gradual improvement, the emotional difficulty of feeling better and then experiencing setbacks, and the work that helped her return to nursing after 20 years of disability.Together, they discuss the relief a diagnosis can bring, how a label can become part of someone’s identity, and the uncertainty patients face when answers change. Brigid also shares how she supports clients today, starting with small changes that fit into their lives.In this conversation:Christina Applegate’s MS misdiagnosis and the questions it raises for patientsBrigid’s symptoms, diagnosis, and years of treatment at an MS specialty centerThe relief of receiving a diagnosis—and the expectations that can come with itExploring integrative care and navigating an uneven recoveryThe questions Brigid still has about what contributed to her symptomsHow diagnosis can shape identity, community, and beliefs about the futureThe financial challenges of accessing care outside insurance coverageReturning to nursing after 20 years of disabilitySleep, circadian rhythms, and making manageable changes to daily habitsCreating room for hope and asking further questionsAbout BrigidBrigid Bandomer is a holistic nurse and board-certified health and wellness nurse coach who has studied applied quantum biology.
