In the field of health and medicine, it’s important to keep searching for solutions and not give up, even if a disease is said to be incurable. I’m excited to share the story of Dr. Terry Wahls, who refused to accept the limitations of her diagnosis of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. Instead, she delved into finding long-lasting solutions and has made significant contributions to MS research and treatment options. Dr. Wahls, a certified practitioner of the Institute for Functional Medicine and a clinical professor at the University of Iowa, conducted clinical trials and received the Institute for Functional Medicine’s Linus Pauling Award in 2018 for her research, clinical care, and patient advocacy. After being confined to a wheelchair for four years, she restored her health using a personalized diet and lifestyle program and now bikes to work every day. Dr. Wahls is the author of The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles, and the cookbook The Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life.
