Welcome to the Phoenix Helix podcast dedicated to autoimmune resilience. While there is no cure for

autoimmune disease, the choices we make every day can have a powerful impact on how we feel.

I'm Eileen Laird, your host. In this podcast, I interview experts in the fields of nutrition, lifestyle,

mindset, and integrative medicine. I also interview people with

autoimmune disease just like you. We can learn so much from each other. This podcast is named

Phoenix Helix, and it's after the mythical bird that rises from its own ashes. If you've ever

felt like your autoimmune disease knock you down so hard you would never

rise again, never underestimate your ability to rise. We all have a phoenix within us. A short

disclaimer, I'm neither a doctor nor a nutritionist and the opinions expressed here are personal.

I do interview medical professionals on the show, but it's meant to be information, not medical advice.

So always consult with your health care team before making your own medical decisions.

Now let's get on to the show.

Thank you. Welcome to Episode 27. This is a very special episode featuring two of my colleagues and friends, Dr. Terry Walls and Dr. Sarah

Ballantyne. I've known these wonderful women for over a decade now. They're both powerful

leaders in the autoimmune community. They are also autoimmune warriors themselves.

So today we're doing an autoimmune Q&A. I'll be asking all of us a series of questions about our

personal experiences with autoimmune disease and our best tips for all of you. I think most

of you know Terry and Sarah already, but for anyone new, you're in for a treat. Dr. Terry Walls is a

physician and author, a professor of medicine, a clinical researcher,

and the woman behind the Walls Protocol. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis,

her health rapidly declined. Fearing she would become bedridden, she started researching

nutrition and lifestyle interventions for autoimmune health and experienced dramatic results.
