EPISODE 63: How to Make Autoimmune (and other) Conditions Disappear

Episode 63: Terry Wahls, MD

For over a decade or so, dietary interventions and lifestyle changes have been gaining traction as a better alternative approach in health, wellness, performance, and longevity, if not in treatment and reversing of chronic illnesses and conditions.

Tons of scientific studies, research, and large, long-drawn clinical trials in universities and other institutions, at least in the US, were backing up the development.

Our theories and concepts in the book Thrive State as well as the actual practice taught to clients and its beneficiaries, one way or another were affirmed too by these studies. And or conversely, concurring to those, as well.

The Wahls Protocol, developed and practiced to herself by Dr. Terry Wahls, to reverse her multiple sclerosis fully deserves recognition and admiration—an inspiration as well. Very similar to Thrive State principles, Dr. Wahls’ work has been taught to many and applied even to non-MS other autoimmune conditions and sickness and proved to reverse conditions and improve quality of life.

Dr. Terry Wahls is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa where she conducts clinical trials in the setting of Multiple Sclerosis. She is also a patient with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, which confined her to a tilt-recline wheelchair for four years.

She is the author of best-selling books The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine, 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: The Revolutionary Modern Paleo Plan to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions.

Dr. Wahls restored her health using a diet and lifestyle program she designed specifically for her brain and now pedals her bike to work each day.

So, sick or not, if you’re up to health wellness, performance, and longevity to enjoy with loved ones, don’t miss very informative and inspiring episode of the Thrive State Podcast, with the awesome story told by our guest herself, Dr. Terry Wahls.

It takes efforts to change habits and extinguish harmful habits. If it can be linked to why it’s important to us, it will drive us to be invested more to do the work.

Steps to Behavioral Change: Inspiration.Talk about the why’s to go and change. Get people fired up in learning to do the work. Talk with the patient and his/her family to plan even small things that can be done realistically to achieve tangible successes.

Study your biosensors. Hear what the body is saying about your health. Teach patients that pain is handy to sense what might be happening inside your body. Learn to pinpoint what changes were made that triggered these biosensors to show symptoms. Learn from it or ignore it, then you can anticipate more cellular damage.
