Though she is at the forefront of functional medicine, what sets Dr. Wahls apart is her experience using nutrition and lifestyle interventions to treat progressive health problems and heal her own MS, and later that of others.

Can you imagine waking up one day then being diagnosed with a condition that puts you into a wheelchair for the rest of your life?

Although, Wikipedia lists Multiple Sclerosis as an incurable disease, today we’re here with a remarkable woman who was sentenced to a life in a tilt-recline wheelchair with progressive MS... and went on to defy her diagnosis and reverse her condition with real food and lifestyle intervention.

Today, Dr. Terry Wahls bikes to work, speaks all over the country, and teaches others how to heal conditions commonly considered to be untreatable with cutting-edge science and a healthy dollop of good old common sense.

Also joining us for this interview is Caroleen Moise, the producer and director of Defying All Odds, a new documentary featuring the story of Dr Terry Wahls' astonishing recovery from Progressive MS.

On this show you’re going to learn about:

• The body’s remarkable ability to heal itself and defy the odds
• Why more than a dozen new scientific studies are testing food as medicine
• The new documentary dedicated to Dr. Wahl’s journey from rebel to visionary
• And tons more…

Let’s go hang out with Dr. Wahls.

My wife Alyson and I met Brad at the Cookeville Farmers Market when we lived in the Smoky Mountains a few years back. And after buying veggies and milk from him for a few months, he gave us some of the best fresh venison we've ever tasted in our lives. It was out of this world.

• Immune benefits of raw versus high temp pasteurization and homogenization
• The secret to the best tasting fresh venison in the world
