A medical doctor gets an incurable diagnosis, lands in a wheelchair, and is told there’s no hope. Instead of accepting her fate, she created a protocol that not only stopped her disease but reversed it.


In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Terry Wahls, who shares her stunning story of going from being unable to sit up on her own to walking, biking, and jogging again. Dr. Wahls explains how she used functional medicine and a deep understanding of mitochondrial health to reclaim her life from progressive Multiple Sclerosis. She reveals the specific diet, exercise, and electrical stimulation methods that were central to her recovery.


"I was happy to die today to avoid being disabled tomorrow." ~ Dr. Terry Wahls
