This is a podcast about: How to manage MS in Covid19 with mindfulness, dedicated for people with MS, their families and carers, but also health care professions. Exciting opportunity to listen when MS Neurologist Dr Agne Straukiene meets Mindfulness Now Teacher Matthew Sweet.

Dr Agne Straukiene lead MS service at Torbay Hospital, in Torquay, UK. Also Dr Straukiene is a lead for National Healthy lifestyle and Wellness Programme under MS Academy.

Matthew Sweet is the health and wellness professional who believes in the connection between the mind, body and soul. Using my qualifications, and expertise as a Personal Trainer, and Correctional Exercise Specialist clients come to me for kinematic, and lifestyle support. These teachings are supported today with a awareness that our minds are of equal importance than just losing fat, getting fit and living healthier.


As an evolving business model, Brave Body Fitness was started in 2018 to meet the needs of people who struggled with the space of a gym, or finding confidence to start living healthier. Today, clients come to me for mentoring with lifestyle and health advice which is infused with a deep connection with self. By 2028, the brand will be fully formed, and offering much more to meet all everyones needs. I would like the whole world to experience this journey.


Mindfulness training is a passion of mine because it has helped me overcome PTSD, and imbalances in my life and wellbeing. I call the breath, ‘the doctor’ within. And, sleep, as the ‘hospital within us all’ because I have been really mentally unwell in life, and both practices now keep me healthy in my mind, body and soul.
