Summary

The modified paleo diet called the Wahls protocol, developed by Dr. Terry Wahls to address her multiple sclerosis, can be a powerful diet for autoimmune and gut healing. In this episode, Dr. Wahls shares what really helps patients change their diet, what to include and avoid on the protocol, and whether adapting the protocol for gut health is ok. https://drruscio.com/a-nutrient-dense-paleo-diet-for-autoimmunity

0:47.9	Dr. Terry Walls, who if you haven't heard of her work, has produced some very interesting research in the
0:57.0	autoimmune condition of multiple sclerosis and kind of pioneered a nutrient-dense iteration of the
