Listen Later

In this episode I speak with Dr. Terry Wahls, an internal medicine physician,  multiple sclerosis patient, researcher, and advocate.  Her TedTalk Minding your Mitochondria has over 4.1 million views. 
Terry Wahls MD is a clinical professor of medicine who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2000. After conventional treatments failed to halt her disease progression, leaving her wheelchair-dependent, she developed the The Wahls Protocol, a nutrient-rich dietary approach that helped her regain mobility. She authored a book The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles book.

We cover how nutrition choices can transform health outcomes, the critical role of family support in sustaining health changes, and the emerging science behind using biosensors to identify personal health triggers. 

Some takeaways:
  •  Terry Walls developed the Wahls Protocol after personal success reversing her MS symptoms
  • Dietary changes can lead to significant health improvements beyond medication alone
  • Family support creates the foundation for sustainable behavior change
  • The Wahls Protocol emphasizes nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory foods
  • Long COVID patients show promising responses to improved nutrition approaches
  • Food choices can serve as both prevention and treatment for chronic diseases
