Dr. Terry Wahls: How to Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine Ep.17

Did you know that approximately 50 million Americans, 20 percent of the population or one in five people, suffer from autoimmune diseases? And women are more likely than men to be affected; some estimates say that 75 percent of those affected–some 30 million people–are women. That's why on today's episode I have a special guest, Dr. Terry Wahls, author of the popular book The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine. She and I delve into her early childhood and the health issues that led to Terry's progressive illness, along with Terry's big "ah-ha!" moment that led to her creating the Wahls Protocol. There is just so much in this episode, I hope you have pen and paper ready. In today's episode, you'll learn... Why Dr. Wahls prefers ketones derived from medium chain triglycerides versus dairy products; The problems with cesarean birth, our gut microbiome, and ketosis; Terry's tip for optimal health, and... Much, much more.
