The scientific and technological advancements we have witnessed over the years have been nothing but impressive, especially in the field of medicine. The latest studies and developments have  somehow brought hope back for patients with the simplest to the most critical conditions. But one thing that our guest for today has learned through her own share of tough experiences is the fact that modern medicine can't be the answer to everything.   Dr. Terry Wahls is a professor of medicine at the University of Iowa. She used to believe that modern medicine is the sole solution to treating disease, until she realized that the focus should be on creating health. When Dr. Wahls was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2000, she saw the best doctors and received the best care possible in terms of conventional medicine, Still, her condition continued to decline. Only when she started making changes in her diet and lifestyle did her health and her life improved immensely.   Dr. Wahls' TEDx Talk about her experience has received over 1.5 million views online, and her book The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine continues to be an inspiration for many people seeking transformation through health and healing.   Check out this podcast:   Living with multiple sclerosis – From diagnosis to coping with 7 years' of steady decline How a Western medicine-trained doctor found the courage to turn away from the conventional treatment plan Discovering the Paleo diet and understanding the role neurologists play in pointing patients to having a new treatment plan Minding Your Mitochondria– The health of our cells (which depend on the health of the mitochondria) determines the health of our body The epiphany that completely transformed Dr. Wahls’ understanding of disease and health and her medical practice Feed your brain cells – A scientific analysis of diet plans that will lead you to more nutrient-dense food that your brain needs   Exposure to chemicals and the importance of knowing the right strategies to safely and gently lower toxins in your body   New studies on E-Stim for physical therapy and as an addition to your workout program to improve muscle strength How to support the clinical research and studies at The Wahls Foundation Getting dramatic results from eating the highest quality of food and limiting your exposure to toxins
