Your Longevity Blueprint

Food Is Medicine Pt 2 w/ Dr. Terry Wahls


Listen Later

Welcome to part two of my interview with Dr. Terry Wahls. We continue discussing some of Dr. Wahls’ recommendations for healthy living. In many ways, a health journey is a hero’s journey. It involves a separation from a conventional approach to disease in which you learn important lessons before successfully re-engaging in the struggle.

Dr. Wahls practices the same advice she preaches. That sometimes means packing a cabbage in her carry-on luggage. Of course, not everyone can follow the Wahls Protocol to the letter. Dr. Wahls shares how people can adapt her protocol to conform to various dietary and lifestyle restrictions. That way, it’s possible to eat a paleo diet as well as a vegetarian one.

A large part of Dr. Wahls’ protocol centers on ketogenic eating. There is a growing body of evidence that this type of diet has huge benefits. This includes mental and neurological health and it helps those with insulin resistance. But, there are risks associated with it, such as high cholesterol. Dr. Wahls provides some great advice for adapting the diet to suit anyone’s particular needs.

Dr. Wahls shares some of her favorite meals that you can prepare at home. Just because chicken liver is the main ingredient, doesn’t mean your dinner shouldn’t taste great. These are wonderful delicious meals that are easy to make and will help keep you healthy.

Are you eating a ketogenic diet? Tell me how it’s going in the comments on the episode page!
