Episode 30: Transformational Approaches to Multiple Sclerosis and Autoimmunity with Dr. Terry Wahls

Dr. Terry Wahls was a practicing primary care physician when she
was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS. Despite treatment at
some of the finest medical institutions in the United States, her
health progressively declined until she could no longer walk. When
she discovered functional medicine, she made a rapid turnaround.
Soon she wasn’t just walking again, she was doing 20-mile bike
rides. Today, Dr. Wahls conducts research using variations of her
protocol, including intensive directed nutrition, progressive
exercise programs, electrical stimulation, and the use of dietary
supplements for patients with MS. She conducts her research at the
Iowa VA, through the University of Iowa and is supported through
grassroots fundraising. In this episode of New Frontiers in
Functional Medicine, Dr. Wahls talks with Dr. Fitzgerald about her
physical and spiritual transformation — and how other patients with
chronic conditions can realize similar results.
