Ivy Ingram Larson was just 22 when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Determined not to let the debilitating disease rule her life, she turned to a diet of whole foods and regular exercise. The medical student and childhood friend who helped her put together the plan, Andrew Larson, soon became her husband. Together they’ve built a healthy lifestyle that has kept her MS in check and the whole family healthy.

Baja fish tacos? Sounds like a diet anyone could get behind.
