Dr. Terry Wahls's Bio:

Dr. Terry Wahls is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and conducts clinical research using functional medicine principles in the setting of multiple sclerosis.

In 2018, she was awarded the Institute for Functional Medicine’s Linus Pauling Award for her contributions in research, clinical care, and patient advocacy.

Dr.Wahls has secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, which confined her to a tilt-recline wheelchair for four years.

Yet Dr.Wahls restored her health using a diet and lifestyle program she designed specifically for her brain, and now pedals her bike to work each day.
