Energizing life through dietary intervention | Dr. Terry Wahls

Dr. Terry Wahls is a courageous advocate for health transformation. Her journey is not just a personal battle against multiple sclerosis; it's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. With a unique approach that intertwines nutrition, movement, and a positive mindset, Wahls has developed a protocol for thriving, against the odds. Suffering the debilitating effects of MS, with physical and mental decline, she decided to focus on the health of her mitochondria.  Based on the principles of functional medicine, the University of Iowa professor of medicine developed a diet rich in nutrient-dense foods - colorful fruits and vegetables, leafy greens, organ meats, and fish. Her lifestyle incorporates vigorous exercise, stress management, and avoidance of environmental toxins. It evolved into a blueprint for life that Wahls now shares with others and credits for her continuing health and vitality, as she lives with MS. In this interview, with Peter Bowes, Dr. Wahls discusses her remarkable journey and shares her optimism for the future.Visit our website for additional show notes Recorded at the 2024 Longevity Fest meeting of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, in Las Vegas.This episode is a co-production with Timeline, the Swiss longevity biotech company, which is pioneering a new category of clinically validated dietary supplements called mitoceuticals, to support healthy aging.  Mitopure deliverers Urolithin A which has been shown to enhance cellular energy, muscle strength and the health of our skin.  Time-line is offering a 10% discount on its Mitopure products - Mitopure Powder, Softgels, Mitopure + Protein and skin creams - which support improvements in mitochondrial function and muscle strength. Use the code LLAMA at checkout here:https://www.timelinenutrition.com/LLAMASupport the showThe Live Long podcast, a HealthSpan Media LLC production, shares ideas but does not offer medical advice.  If you have health concerns of any kind, or you are considering adopting a new diet or exercise regime, you should consult your doctor.
