Local doctor Dr. Terry Wahls is back on the show. This time, she joins us to share her recent clinical trials in a two-part series.

Today, in Part 1, she shares her miraculous story, and we discuss dietary and lifestyle approaches for autoimmune conditions. Next week, in Part 2, she will share more about her clinical trials and explain how she lives her life currently, maintaining her high-functioning health.

Foods necessary for overcoming autoimmune conditions:

Leafy green vegetables, like spinach, Swiss chard, kale, and collards
Deeply colored fruits and vegetables, like carrots, beets, and berries
Sulfur-rich foods, including the cabbage family and mushrooms
Protein sources, like meat, fish, and poultry (Or beans, legumes, and gluten-free grains like rice or buckwheat for vegetarians)
Fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, and kefir
Organ meats like liver once a week

Dr. Terry Wahls's Bio:

Dr. Terry Wahls is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and conducts clinical research using functional medicine principles in the setting of multiple sclerosis.

In 2018, she was awarded the Institute for Functional Medicine’s Linus Pauling Award for her contributions in research, clinical care, and patient advocacy.

Dr.Wahls has secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, which confined her to a tilt-recline wheelchair for four years.

Yet 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.
