If you aren't sure where to start with your holistic wellness journey talk to your holistic health provider about incorporating some of the following. Our top 5 for consideration are:
1) Bio-Assessment Scan - This provides an overview of what is happening with your body as a whole. It is non-invasive and generally takes about 90 minutes. When sitting up this appointment with a provider be sure to bring all medications and supplements you are taking.
2) Anti-inflammatory - Let food be your medicine not your crutch. Reduce or eliminate inflammatory foods. Use supplements like fish oil and turmeric to help reduce inflammation. We have a list of anti-inflammatory foods on our resources page.
3) Gut health - Get your gut health tested and work to repair it. This may involve eliminating foods and/or adding medical foods or supplements like probiotics. Research has shown probiotics ( Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus reuteri, and Streptococcus thermophilus) may be beneficial for autoimmune dis-ease such as myasthenia gravis. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23284891/
4) Incorporate quality supplements based on deficiency and need. We recommend getting supplements from functional medicine providers or health food/ vitamin stores not at a department store. This is especially true for CBD oil. Do not purchase CBD from a gas station. Always check for a certificate of analysis to help ensure the quality of the CBD you are taking.
5) Find tools to manage stress and symptom triggers. Give yourself permission to REST when needed. Practice self-care daily.
Here is a list of other things for you to consider for your wellness journey. We are happy to help find you someone in your area to help you once you have checked with your healthcare provider.

Maintaining a healthy diet is important for managing Myasthenia Gravis (MG) and supporting overall well-being. Here are some general healthy eating tips tailored for people with MG:
1. **Eat frequent, small meals**: Instead of large meals, consider eating smaller meals throughout the day to help manage fatigue and prevent muscle weakness associated with MG.
2. **Include protein in each meal**: Protein is essential for muscle health and strength. Include sources of lean protein such as poultry, fish, tofu, legumes, and nuts in your meals.
3. **Choose nutrient-dense foods**: Focus on nutrient-dense foods that provide essential vitamins and minerals without excess calories. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats in your diet.
4. **Stay hydrated**: Dehydration can worsen muscle weakness and fatigue. Drink an adequate amount of water throughout the day and consider incorporating hydrating foods like fruits and vegetables into your meals.
5. **Consider your chewing and swallowing abilities**: Some people with MG may experience difficulty chewing and swallowing. If this is the case for you, choose softer foods, pureed or blended options, or foods that are easier to chew.
6. **Limit processed foods and added sugars**: Processed foods and foods high in added sugars can contribute to inflammation and may worsen MG symptoms. Opt for whole, unprocessed foods whenever possible.
7. **Consult with a dietitian**: A registered dietitian can help you create a personalized meal plan that meets your nutritional needs while considering your specific MG symptoms and challenges.
8. **Monitor medication interactions**: Some medications used to treat MG may have dietary restrictions or interactions with certain foods. Be sure to discuss any dietary concerns with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
9. **Listen to your body**: Pay attention to how different foods make you feel and adjust your diet accordingly. Keep a food diary to track your symptoms and identify any triggers.
10. **Stay consistent**: Consistency is key when it comes to maintaining a healthy diet with MG. Establishing a routine and making small, sustainable changes over time can help support your overall health and well-being.
Remember that every individual with MG is unique, so it's important to work closely with your healthcare team to develop a dietary plan that suits your specific needs and helps you manage your condition effectively.
