Terry Wahls, MD
When Dr. Terry Wahls was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2000, she joined the ranks of 2.1 million people who live with the disease today. Previously a marathoner and mountain climber, Dr. Wahls headed to a bedridden life due to secondary progressive MS. She decided to take her health into her own hands. In THE WAHLS PROTOCOL: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine, Dr. Wahls shares how, after using her protocol for a mere nine months, she was back on her bike, riding eighteen miles in one day. Dr. Wahls has since made it her mission to teach the public how those suffering from the autoimmune conditions, as well as chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, and even mental health problems, can become well once again.Dr. Wahls is a clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Iowa where she sees teaches residents and medical students in primary care and traumatic brain injury clinics.
