Distinguishing the difference between a true flare or relapse vs. a pseudo flare or relapse can be challenging at the best of times. Today, I sit down with Dr. Michael Kornberg to discuss what he, as a neurologist, looks out for in determining the difference between the two. We also discuss holistic approaches to treatment, medications, and the future of MS treatments. This episode is chock full of great insight! 
Dr. Kornberg is Assistant Professor of Neurology and an Associate Director of the Neurology Residency Program at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He is a member of the Johns Hopkins Immunology and Cellular and Molecular Medicine graduate programs. Dr. Kornberg received MD and PhD degrees from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and he stayed at Johns Hopkins to complete residency training in neurology followed by a clinical and research fellowship in neuroimmunology. He specializes in the care of individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) and other autoimmune diseases of the nervous system. In addition to his clinical work, he runs a research program focused on better understanding the pathogenesis of MS and identifying novel therapeutic strategies to prevent neurodegeneration and promote remyelination in MS patients. Specifically, his lab studies the role of diet and metabolism in inflammation, as well the role of innate immune cells in determining the success or failure of repair processes in the brain.
