Summary

Most of you are familiar with Dr. Terry Wahls. She's a physician with multiple sclerosis who reversed her symptoms dramatically, going from a wheelchair to a bicycle after implementing diet and lifestyle changes. That program is now called The Wahls Protocol and has been the subject of multiple medical studies, proving its effectiveness for others as well. In this episode, we summarize all the research, from the very first study to the current clinical trial comparing the Wahls & Swank diets for patients with MS. We also talk about a future clinical trial which will compare the Wahls Protocol to medication.

0:07.4	While there is no cure for autoimmune disease, the choices we make every day can have a powerful impact on how we feel.
0:14.5	I'm Eileen Laird, your host from PhoenixHelix.com, and I reduced my rheumatoid arthritis pain by 95%, which took me from a life of

1:52.1	into our interview, though, let's give a quick shout out to our podcast sponsor, Paleo on the Go.
1:57.0	They are a frozen meal delivery service with a huge autoimmune-friendly menu, and a cornerstone
2:02.9	of the Wall's protocol is the recommendation to eat six to nine cups of vegetables daily,
2:08.5	and Paleoan on the Go can help you with that goal. All of their meals include a healthy
