Dr. Terry Wahls is a courageous advocate for health transformation. Her journey is not just a personal battle against multiple sclerosis; it's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. With a unique approach that intertwines nutrition, movement, and a positive mindset, Wahls has developed a protocol for thriving, against the odds.
Suffering the debilitating effects of MS, with physical and mental decline, she decided to focus on the health of her mitochondria. Based on the principles of functional medicine, the University of Iowa professor of medicine developed a diet rich in nutrient-dense foods - colorful fruits and vegetables, leafy greens, organ meats, and fish. Her lifestyle incorporates vigorous exercise, stress management, and avoidance of environmental toxins. It evolved into a blueprint for life that Wahls now shares with others and credits for her continuing health and vitality, as she lives with MS.
In this interview, with Peter Bowes, Dr. Wahls discusses her remarkable journey and shares her optimism for the future.
