Testimonials
“The program succinctly outlined step-by-step how to reach each goal. It allowed me, for the first time ever,
to see the full picture.
Making goals and knowing I was meeting every other week with fellow participants was hugely helpful in keeping motivated and making positive changes.
The connection piece [Gathers] was HUGE in feeling supported and staying motivated to meet my goals.“

Frequently asked Questions
Dr. Payrovi, a board certified physician practicing integrative and functional medicine, specifically designed TRUE Medicine to be used in conjunction with your neurologist’s prescribed care plan. The evidence-based lifestyle strategies discussed will safely complement and synergize with your current MS therapies.
Implementing lifestyle strategies early in the disease process, in tandem with neurological care, is the MOST SUCCESSFUL strategy to stay ahead of MS to minimize damage, reduce symptoms, and improve quality of life. We know first hand how disorienting it can be to receive an MS diagnosis. In addition, tapping into the power of community is an important step in getting on the path of self-care and improving your health
Practicing lifestyle strategies can profoundly impact symptoms such as pain, fatigue, anxiety, and depression as well as quality of life, regardless of your current level of function. Connecting with a like-minded community and working with a health coach provides the framework to discover new ways of living well with this condition.
Yes. We firmly believe lifestyle is at the heart of MS care. If you are not using disease modifying therapies for MS for any reason, we feel it is even more crucial for you to tap into the power of lifestyle interventions using this program to improve symptoms and quality of life.
Absolutely. The distinction between this program and working one-on-one with a provider is that we provide the HOW of turning recommendations into lasting habits using robust education, health coaching, and a supportive community.
We feel strongly that we each must be in charge of our own healing process. Therefore, we have designed a framework to introduce lifestyle strategies in a manner that puts you in the driver’s seat of choosing what suits your unique needs. To ensure success, our health coach is available to answer your questions in the group forums. You may also submit questions to Dr. Susan through the website “Dr. Susan Q&A”. Finally, Dr. Susan and our health coach will be available during the Saturday Gathers via Zoom for general questions.
Please keep in mind that TRUE Medicine is an educational program with group health coaching. Therefore, we are unable to provide medical advice, and our program is not a substitute for medical care.
Each of our three programs are offered twice a year. Please check the “All Programs” page for dates.
