Dr. Terry Wahls is a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, a published clinical researcher, physician at the Iowa City VA Hospital, who was diagnosed with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis in 2000.
She underwent chemotherapy to try to slow the disease progression and began using a tilt-recline wheelchair because of the weakness in her back and realized that she would eventually become bedridden due to her disease. As a result, she set out to go to the medical literature and find a way to prevent herself from becoming bedridden.
She discovered functional medicine in the summer of 2007, created and started the Wahls Protocol in December 2007, and those dietary and lifestyle changes took her from being wheelchair-bound to completing an 18-mile bike tour within one year.
In today’s show, Dr. Wahls and I chat about:
- How medications and supplements were only able to slow her disease progression but not reverse it
- Why the health of your cells and mitochondria is so important
- Which foods to avoid to minimize face pain, migraine, acne, allergies, and asthma
- The Wahls Protocol that she uses to treat her patients and
- How to cook with kelp and seaweed
