Naturally Nourished Episode 324: The Wahls Protocol for MS and Neurological Conditions with Dr. Terry Wahls
Can MS and other neurological conditions be impacted by diet and lifestyle? Do vegetables help or hurt when dealing with autoimmune disease? What needs to be removed from the diet in order to create whole body healing? Tune in to hear us interview the one and only Dr. Terry Wahls about her journey from tilt-recline wheelchair back to riding a bike to work daily and how she used a paleo diet to beat MS.
In this episode, we discuss supplementation with MS, why The Wahls Protocol includes 9 cups of vegetables, and how to improve vegetable tolerance. Plus, we talk about Dr. Wahl’s research and an opportunity to participate in her upcoming study!
