Dr Terry Wahls was confined to a tilt-recline wheelchair for 4 years with multiple sclerosis, before restoring her health using a diet and lifestyle program.
On today's episode, Dr Wahls joins Rebecca Coomes and shares her journey with MS, why she developed the Wahls Protocol and how gut health has a big impact on our overall health.
On today's podcast, they discuss:
✓ How she discovered she had multiple sclerosis and why conventional medicine did not work for her
✓ The connection between the gut and autoimmune diseases like MS
✓ The nutrition principles of the Wahls Protocol
✓ Why Dr Wahls encourages her patients to eat 200+ plant based foods per year and how someone with SIBO can increase diversity in their diet
✓ Why we should be thinking about our mitochondria, the little powerhouses that energise the human body
✓ Healing milestones, and why they're important, and how to find the energy to focus on healing when you're chronically ill
✓ How Dr Wahls manages setbacks and the psychology of chronic illness
