Access The Tools To Help You Adapt The Wahls Protocol

Introduction to the Wahls Protocol 0:00

Let's talk about the tools that you could use to support you as you work to adopt the Wahls protocol and to work to improve the health of your brain, your spinal cord and your nerves. I'm Dr. Terry Wahls, your host for the MS. Neuroimmune Summit. And let me be clear that the Wahls protocol is really much more than a diet. And we've had a number of clinical trials that used the elements that I used as part of my healing journey. And that was a diet designed for my mitochondria, for my brain, my spinal cord, my nerves I.

And that really stresses nine cups of vegetables, three cups of greens, three cups of color, three cups of sulfur rich that is cabbage, onion, mushroom, family, vegetables. And for all of you who are in the metric system, think of three cups as a dinner plate covered entirely.

You measure that rather than if you cook it. It'll shrink by about half. And then if you're a meat eater, grass fed meats, grass, fish meats, fish organ meats, if you're a vegetarian, then that is a gluten free grain and a legume. We have targeted supplements. We teach people stretching and strengthening exercises. We teach them meditation. And we also taught them how to use electrical stimulation of muscles. And we have done this study in others with secondary and primary progressive multiple sclerosis showing that, yes, they could implement these concepts and that it was well tolerated and that we had a remarkable reduction in fatigue improvement in quality of life, improvement in verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, working memory.

And that half had significant improvement in walking. And that's what those meals look like. Those are some pork chops. Pardon me? Those are lamb chops, actually. Coach greens, brussel sprouts, lots of big salads. And that is an elderberry smoothie. And we had to do an analysis of someone following this diet to show that it was safe. And we have that for you there. The blue bar is the study diet, basically the walls diet, the maroon is the standard American diet, as measured by the nutritional NHANES data that the US gathers every few years.

So we were given permission to do the study and I have written a number of books that outline the program. Minimum Mitochondria, the very first book that told my story, the supplements, a lot of recipes and what I was doing. My next book, The Walls Protocol, which I've since revised and expanded that outlines the diet, how I grow, the internal motivation, the supplements, the stress, reducing practices, the exercise. It's really the comprehensive program and then the cookbook that helps you get started on the recipes using foods that are were available in rural Iowa, in small town grocery stores, and assuming that people were fatigued when they were doing the cooking.

These are fabulous resources. And in the gifts to you, we have a chapter from mind you and Mitochondria, a chapter from Wolves Protocol, the introduction and a bunch of recipes from the Walls Protocol, Cooking for Life. And we have created the Walls Diet App
