Dr Terry Wahls, The Doctors, February 6, 2020 — Reclaiming My Health and Living With MS
Thank you to The Doctors for giving me a platform to share my story of hope to give other patients suffering from Multiple Sclerosis or autoimmune disease the motivation to reclaim their own health.
Previously a marathoner and mountain climber, I found myself in a wheelchair due to secondary progressive MS. Frustrated with traditional treatment, I decided to take my health into my own hands by using my knowledge of functional medicine, ancestral health principles, and background as a medical researcher to create my own treatment protocol. In a mere nine months, I was back on her bike, riding eighteen miles in one day.
The protocol grew into The Wahls™ Diet, a nutrition and lifestyle treatment plan that has been investigated in multiple clinical trials, including one funded by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society(NMSS). In 2019, the National MS Society provided a million dollar grant to The University of Iowa’s and my team to study The Wahls™ Diet.
