POPULARITY
Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Terry L. Wahls. She is a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa where she teaches internal medicine residents, sees patients in a traumatic brain injury clinic, and conducts clinical trials. She is also a patient with a chronic progressive neurological disorder, secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, which confined her to a tilt-recline wheelchair for four years. But thanks to the power of The Wahls Protocol, which is based on functional medicine and the Wahls Paleo™ diet, Dr. Wahls restored her health and now pedals her bike five miles to work each day. She is the author of The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine, Minding My Mitochondria: How I Overcame Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and Got Out of My Wheelchair and teaches the public and medical community about the healing power of intensive nutrition. In this episode, Dr. Wahls speaks about the importance of a diverse microbiome for healthy, long-living people. The best way to test your gut diversity is by looking at your poop. Dr. Wahls reveals what you need to look for and how to improve your diversity. Dr. Wahls dives into the hormetic role plants can play in our lifestyle and why variety truly is the spice of life. Tune in as we chat about the Wahls Protocol, the magic of olive oil, and an opportunity for people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.

You Need To Have A Diverse Microbiome The microbiome is vast; if you have a healthy microbiome, you have five to nine million genes in that microbiome. As long as you have a diverse microbiome, you can fill in the gaps and have excellent health. Basically, we need diversity to have healthy metabolites. Healthy people have diversity in their guts. [20:00] Look At Your Poop: That's The Best Gut Diversity Test More diversity may not necessarily be a good thing. Unfortunately, we don't understand this field well enough. You can test your microbiome every single day by pooping and looking in the toilet. Are you pooping rocks, logs, sticky logs, snakes, pudding, or tea? Rocks are a problem, and so are sticky logs. Pudding and tea are also problems. [25:25] The Hormetic Role That Plants Can Play In Your Lifestyle There are more lectins in plants than there are in animal products. Remember, plants are filled with compounds that are poisons. However, plants are incredible hormetic stress for our cellular physiology. By eating a large variety of plants, you are giving cells the signals that our ancestral mothers and fathers would have received. Plant variation will be critical for your gut health. [34:05] What Is The Wahls Protocol Diet? Whatever you and your family do together, you will be much more successful. The diet that has the most significant effect on fatigue reduction and quality of life improvement is the Wahls diet. It would help if you ate fewer added sugars, fewer processed foods, and fewer carbs than the Standard Amerian Diet. Eat grass-fed meats, wild fish, organ meats, oysters, mussels, and clams. Also, eat kimchi and sauerkraut regularly to have a lower rate of respiratory viral infections. Plus, it's a great source of vitamin C. [41:05] A Clinical Trial For People With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis If you have relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, Dr. Wahls wants you to enroll in her clinical trial. She is comparing a ketogenic diet, the modified paleo diet, the Wahls diet, and a usual diet. Plus, she will give the usual diet group tips on reducing sugar and eating more non-starchy vegetables. They have MRIs at month zero and month twenty-four. Plus, they will measure walking, hand function, vision function, and working memory. [46:00] The Magic of Olive Oil: Potent Antioxidants and Polyphenols There are many studies showing what olive oil does to lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, dementia, anxiety, and depression. Olive oil does remarkable things for the risk of relapse as well. Hydroxytyrosol is a very potent antioxidant. Take your olive oil cold because you deactivate some of those polyphenols when you heat them. Also, put your olive oil in the fridge. If it gels, it's good; if it doesn't gel, it has been cut with seed oils. AND MUCH MORE!

In 2018 she was awarded the Institute for Functional Medicine’s Linus Pauling Award for her contributions in research, clinical care, and patient advocacy. In addition, Dr. Terry Wahls is a patient with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. This condition confined her to a tilt-recline wheelchair for four years. Amazingly, Dr. Wahls restored her health using a diet and lifestyle program she designed specifically for her brain. She now pedals her bike to work each day. Currently, with the creation of her Wahl Protocol, she teaches the public and medical community about the healing power of the Paleo diet. She also explains what therapeutic lifestyle changes can restore health and vitality. Dr. Wahls is the author of 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 (paperback), and the cookbook The Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life: The Revolutionary Modern Paleo Plan to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions.

Learn all that you can about cytokine storm, seeing new patients and more...from Dr. Wahls herself. As everyone in the world seems to be working at home (ideally) and using the internet, as well as ZOOM, we sadly had a poor connection on ZOOM video conference call. Dr. Wahls shared tons of valuable information that Debbie recorded in the intro as she was cut in/out throughout the entire call (sadly). We apologize about the quality of recording but it was 7pm in her time zone- when everyone must have been using the WiFi! You can learn more from Dr. Wahls website and social media blog posts: Dr. Terry Wahls is a clinical professor at the University of Iowa where she conducts clinical trials testing the efficacy of therapeutic lifestyle to treat multiple sclerosis related symptoms. In addition, she is the author of The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine and the cookbook The Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life: The Revolutionary Modern Paleo Plan to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions. The new information scientists are learning and publishing each day is constantly changing how integrative/functional/conventional medical practitioners administer patient care. Information is vital for you—but it has never been harder for the public to access it. Here are the key points about cytokine storm in the C OVID -19 pandemic that I want you to know. When our immune cells are working to kill the virus, the virus activates the NLRP3 inflammasome. If NFKappaB has been excessively activated, the immune cells will then initiate excessive release of inflammation producing cytokines. This leads to a cytokine storm and a massive of fluid into the lungs. This is why people with C OVID-19 may develop worsening shortness of breath, chest pain, air hunger and steadily declining oxygen. This is when people present to the emergency room with difficulty breathing, needing oxygen and sometimes ventilator support. What can we do to reduce the risk of NLRP3 inflammasomes activation and excessive NFKappaB? The literature I am reading is circling around this question. I actually discuss this in the revised Wahls Protocol® on page 189 and again starting on page 343. Diet and lifestyle choices are key. Targeted supplements may be additionally helpful. There are of conventional experimental drugs that are being tried in our intensive care units all around the world. Even so, once you are on the ventilator, only 17% have survived. There has never been a more critical time for self-care with excellent nutrition, sleep, stress reduction and good sleep. If you have not picked the revised and expanded, The Wahls Protocol A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles—now is the time. In response to the COV ID- 19 pandemic, I have made some changes to my annual seminar: First, I am holding the price at $1097 through the end of April. Second, If you are attending the Wahls Protocol® Seminar, I am adding a weekly Wahls Protocol® Seminar Family Support call on Sunday afternoons. This first call this Sunday will be devoted to CO VID 19 through what I am learning each day from a conventional, integrative and functional medicine approach and answering attendee questions. Each week I will go through COVID 19 related updates, and how I am addressing prevention, risk reduction and will share the current thinking from the functional/integrative medicine COVID 19 working group I am part of. As I learn new information I have been revising my thinking and recommendations for diet, lifestyle and supplement choices for managing autoimmune and other chronic health problems.
