Hi Nick,
I'm so sorry to hear you've joined the MGUS club at such a young age. While the chances of your progressing to something worse are only 1-2% per year, I understand and can relate to your anxiety. Like you, I'm looking for natural ways to reduce the risk of progression beyond exercising, eating healthily, and reducing stress.

I recommend looking on the website clinicaltrials.gov for MGUS/SMM studies. Even though you live in the UK and probably can't participate, you can incorporate some of the study ideas into your health regimen. Be sure to run them by your doctor first of course. So far, I've found studies investigating whether fasting 14 hours between dinner and breakfast, taking curcumin with peperine extract, eating a whole food plant-based diet, and taking Metformin decrease the risk of disease progression. Trying these things at the very least makes one feel less helpless. I wish you luck in your health journey.
-Deborah

Thanks so much for your reply Deborah 😊 I'll have a look at the link. It's such a strange thing to be diagnosed with but I'm just trying to keep in mind that it could have been so much worse. Best wishes.
