Episode 324: The Wahls Protocol for MS and Neurological Conditions with Dr. Terry Wahls

Can MS and other neurological conditions be impacted by diet and lifestyle? Do vegetables help or hurt when dealing with autoimmune disease? What needs to be removed from the diet in order to create whole body healing? Tune in to hear us interview the one and only Dr. Terry Wahls about her journey from tilt-recline wheelchair back to riding a bike to work daily and how she used a paleo diet to beat MS. 

In this episode, we discuss supplementation with MS, why The Wahls Protocol includes 9 cups of vegetables, and how to improve vegetable tolerance. Plus, we talk about Dr. Wahl’s research and an opportunity to participate in her upcoming study!

About Dr. Wahls:

Dr. Terry Wahls is a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa where she conducts clinical trials. She is also a patient with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, which confined her to a tilt-recline wheelchair for four years. Dr. Wahls restored her health using a diet and lifestyle program she designed specifically for her brain and now pedals her bike to work each day. She is the author of The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine, The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles (paperback), and the cookbook The Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life: The Revolutionary Modern Paleo Plan to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions.

She conducts clinical trials that test the effect of nutrition and lifestyle interventions to treat MS and other progressive health problems. Learn more about Dr. Wahls’ clinical trials here. She also teaches the public and medical community about the healing power of the Paleo diet and therapeutic lifestyle changes that restore health and vitality to our citizens. She hosts a Wahls Protocol Seminar every August where anyone can learn how to implement the Protocol with ease and success. Follow her on Facebook (Terry Wahls MD) and on Twitter at @TerryWahls.
