The Protocol That Slows Aging and Reversed Her Multiple Sclerosis - Dr. Terry Wahls
Manage episode 493158741 series 3616797
Do you have multiple sclerosis in your family history? Have you been recently diagnosed—or just want to lower your risk of this neurodegenerative autoimmune condition?
Then this episode is for you.
Dr. Terry Wahls returns to the show to help us connect the dots between MS, menopause, and midlife health. A former athlete turned wheelchair-bound physician, Dr. Wahls reversed her own secondary progressive MS using a radical diet and lifestyle protocol—and now she’s teaching others to do the same.
We cover:
A refresher on what MS is (and why it matters more in midlife)
The lifestyle non-negotiables Dr. Wahls uses to keep her MS in remission
The overlap between menopause and MS symptoms—and how to tell the difference
Why MS affects women 2–3 times more than men
How the menopause transition can accelerate MS progression
Brain health hacks and supplements to protect cognition in perimenopause and beyond
What most doctors still get wrong about Hashimoto’s, MS, and other autoimmune conditions in women
Why strength, resilience, and radical healing are possible—even in your 60s and beyond
Dr. Wahls is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner, author, and clinical researcher specializing in multiple sclerosis. She was awarded the IFM’s Linus Pauling Award for her groundbreaking work in patient care and advocacy.
Diagnosed with secondary progressive MS and once confined to a tilt-recline wheelchair, Dr. Wahls used diet and lifestyle changes to transform her health. Her Wahls Protocol is now used by thousands of patients worldwide to treat chronic autoimmune and neurological conditions.
