Synopses & Reviews
Fully expanded with new
information and updated research, a clear prescriptive guide about how
to beat autoimmune conditions using functional medicine and
nutrient-rich foods, from a doctor, researcher, and sufferer of
progressive multiple sclerosis.
The Wahls Protocol has become a sensation, transforming the lives
of people with autoimmune diseases. Now in this fully revised edition,
Dr. Terry Wahls outlines the latest research that validates the program
and offers new, powerful tools to arm readers and help them achieve
total health.
The Wahls Protocol comes out of Dr. Wahls' own quest to treat the
debilitating symptoms she experiences as a sufferer of progressive MS.
Informed by science, she began using Paleo principles as guidelines for
her unique, nutrient-rich plan. This book shares Dr. Wahls' astonishing
personal story of recovery and details the program, with up-to-date
research she's now conducting at the University of Iowa.
Split into three different levels, this updated edition allows
readers to choose the modified Wahls Diet if they're new to the regime,
the Wahls Paleo Diet if they're ready to amp up their health, or the
more advanced Wahls Paleo Plus Diet if they need more aggressive
treatment. They can also incorporate the just-added Wahls Elimination
Diet into their plan to pinpoint individual food sensitivities, so their
diet is as personal as ever.
With new recipes and content on intermittent fasting and how the protocol impacts the microbiome,
The Wahls Protocol is a key addition to the "whole food" revolution, and a deeply moving, results-driven testimonial to the healing power of food.
