In this episode of Free Thinking with Montel, Montel Williams sits down with Selena Buongiorno, PA-C, a physician assistant, board-certified Lifestyle Medicine practitioner, clinical researcher, MS advocate, and host of the MSwired Podcast. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2020, Selena found herself navigating a lifelong neurological condition from the other side of the exam table. Despite her medical training, nothing could fully prepare her for the emotional and physical realities of living with MS, chronic pain, fatigue, and invisible symptoms. Selena shares how her diagnosis transformed not only her personal life but also her approach to medicine, patient care, and advocacy. Together, Montel and Selena explore the importance of taking an active role in your health, the science behind lifestyle medicine, the evolving landscape of MS research, and the power of turning adversity into purpose.
