EP72: The Wahl’s Protocol and Delicious Recipes
IN THIS EPISODE:
If you haven't seen her epic TED talk, Dr. Wahls is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. She's also a clinical researcher and has published over 60 peer-reviewed scientific abstracts, posters, and papers.
The best part about Dr. Wahl's, however, is that In addition to being a doctor, she's also a patient with a chronic, progressive disease.
Diagnosed with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis in 2000, she underwent traditional forms of therapy to no avail. She was once confined to a zero gravity chair.
Instead of accepting her fate, she bravely designed a revolutionary dietary protocol based on the 30+ nutrients our brains require and today she is healthy, happy and on a mission to empower others to take back their health.

- Why her protocol is different than the Autoimmune Protocol
- Who her Protocol can help (spoiler alert: it's probably YOU!)
- What her clinical research is revealing
- Why she recommends MCT oil to help keep you in ketosis
- Whether or not vegetarians can use her protocol
- Why some ketogenic diets can be harmful
