Reverse Alzheimer's 4.0 Summit

<h6>Heather Sandison, ND</h6>
Welcome to this episode of the Reverse Alzheimer's Summit. I'm your host, Dr. Heather Sandison, and I'm delighted to have Dr. Terry Wahls here. She's an institute for functional medicine, a certified practitioner, and a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa, where she conducts clinical trials in the setting of multiple sclerosis and they're currently recruiting for a clinical trial that she's going to share more about today. If your loved one could benefit from inclusion in this trial, please stay tuned and make sure you grab that web address right away. 

In 2018, she was awarded The Institute for Functional Medicine's Linus Pauling Award for her contributions to research, clinical care, and patient advocacy. She is the author of The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles and The Cookbook: The Wahls Protocol: Cooking for Life. Pick up one of these at the Wahls Diet and more information about the Wahls diet at TerryWahls.com/diet. 

I'm delighted to dive in with her because Dr. Wahls, one of the things that I appreciate and respect so much about you—is that you've been through this yourself. You were diagnosed with MS and then you've dedicated your career to reducing the suffering that you had to experience. To reduce that for other people. I think that that is just such a unique story, such an inspiring story. I know you've said it over and over again, but would you mind just starting with your experience?
