Dr Wahls: 30 Year Journey to Change the Standard of Care
Dr. Terry Wahls is a board-certified internal medicine physician and an expert on functional medicine. She is the author of several books on diet and lifestyle for chronic autoimmune conditions and also conducts clinical trials on the impact of diet on multiple sclerosis. Dr. Wahls also lives with a diagnosis of MS and so understands the patient perspective.
In this conversation, Dr. Wahls discusses the push back she’s received when raising awareness around the importance of diet and lifestyle for a condition like MS. She also talks about the process of gathering data and evidence to support the role of diet and lifestyle in chronic disease care. Dr. Wahls is a true pioneer who works tirelessly to improve the standard of care for all of us – an approach that we as patients can all appreciate.
