New diagnosis? Start your daily foundation
You’re Not Alone. Really.
An ALS diagnosis can feel like a tidal wave of appointments, acronyms, and opinions. What most people need right now is clarity and a simple plan—not a thousand tabs open in your browser. What you might be wondering:
- What does ALS mean for me—now and long term?
- Is there anything I can do to feel stronger day to day?
- Where should I even start?
- How do I tell my family and involve my doctor the right way?
We built a gentle, step-by-step ALS Resource Center to walk with you through these questions.
A Father's Search for a Better Way
The Deanna Protocol® was born from a father’s love—a physician who wanted to help his daughter have more good days. It wasn’t made for a company. It was made for her. From that story came a simple idea that still guides us: when energy systems in neurons are supported, people often feel more capable of meeting the day.
The Deanna Protocol® is not a treatment for ALS. It’s a nutritional protocol designed to support cellular energy, promote healthy neural signaling, and reduce oxidative stress burden—foundational support many families choose while they work with their neurologists.

Your First Few Steps (The Next 14 Days)
Think small, consistent, and doable. The goal isn’t to control everything—it’s to stabilize your daily foundation while your medical team leads your plan of care.
1. Create a morning rhythm (10–15 minutes).
Hydration, protein-forward breakfast, light movement or stretch, medications/supplements as directed, a quiet note about how you feel.
2. Track what actually helps.
Each day, jot down energy, one functional task (grip, voice, transfer, walk), and recovery after activity. Enough data to guide smarter appointments.
3. Build your care team conversation.
Bring your notes and use clear scripts:
- “The biggest change this week was [energy / speech / mobility]—what could be driving that?”
- “Here are two days when recovery was slower; what should we adjust?”
- “What should we watch for before our next visit?”
4. Establish a supportive foundation.
Sleep routine, nutrient-dense meals, gentle daily movement, emotional support—and, if you and your clinician agree, start the Deanna Protocol® as directed.

Stories & Support
“After diagnosis, I didn’t need ‘everything’—I needed a place to start. A steady daily routine helped us feel human again while our neurologist guided the rest.”
