A structured approach to help your patients transform their health
Connecting you with patients as the go-to Wahls Protocol® expert
Ongoing education and support to give you a competitive advantage
Introducing a practitioner support program from the world-renown autoimmune expert, Dr. Terry Wahls
Dr. Terry Wahls—doctor, researcher, and sufferer of MS—teaches you how to use a robust, multi-modal approach to transform health behaviors in the autoimmune patient.
You’ll attract ideal clients and empower your patients with a proven autoimmune intervention.
There Is A Growing Need For A New Approach To Patient Care
In conventional medicine, 75% of patients take the recommended prescription only 80% of the time.
Dietary and health behaviors are far harder to implement than taking prescription drugs.
WHO adherence studies report that < 29% of patients begin to implement the recommended diet or health behaviors—that is if healthcare providers even make these recommendations.
Does this sound like you?
You’ve embraced an integrative approach to patient care but you can’t seem to keep your patients from giving up.
You wish you could reverse mis-match diseases without having your patients spending thousands of dollars on testing.
You are frustrated that you were only taught how to order expensive out-of-pocket tests and high-cost supplements in order to get your patients well
You feel like your practice model is not working for your patients anymore, and you know there are better ways to serve them—you just don’t know how.

Become a better healthcare provider.
We have been trained to think that chasing certifications and adding credentials is the only way to become a better practitioner and attract more patients and clients.
Many practitioners burnout because they are trying to keep up with the ever-changing landscape of health and wellness research. You don’t want to fall behind on learning the new science that could bring new healing opportunities to your patients in your practice.
Dr. Wahls is already doing this work and is ready to share what she is learning with you! As an active researcher and lecturer, she is constantly reviewing and presenting on the latest advancements and innovations in the world of health and wellness.
Meet Your Guide: Dr. Terry Wahls and her unique, expert approach to working with the autoimmune patient
You may recognize Dr. Terry Wahls as the author and creator of The Wahls Protocol® which has been translated into 14 languages.
Dr. Wahls is a Clinical Professor of Internal Medicine – General Internal Medicine, and secondary appointments in Neurology College of Medicine and Epidemiology College of Public Health at the University of Iowa.
No other author in the health and wellness space conducts clinical research, publishes in peer-reviewed scientific journals, or is building the scientific research that will change the standard of care on autoimmune, chronic diseased, and neurological patients.
Dr. Wahls remarkable recovery and the insights gleaned from her own healing journey got the attention of her colleagues and the VA hospital system where she was working at the time.
She easily convinced her colleagues to allow her to implement her behavior change tools in a Therapeutic Lifestyle Clinic setting.
She had stunning success despite these limitations:
- Limited to 2, 20-minute appointments with patients annually
- Limited testing and lab work
- Limited access to supplements
The most powerful tool that improved patient outcomes was training patients to change their health behaviors.
Many of her patients were on fixed incomes and living on food stamps and experienced amazing transformations without high-cost testing and supplements.
She has experience implementing these concepts into conventional hospital and clinical settings.
Her systematic process became The Wahls Behavior Change™ Model.
With the approach outlined in the Wahls Behavior Change™ Model, her teams have been significantly more successful in the therapeutic lifestyle clinic at the VA and in her clinical trials at the University of Iowa.
What makes The Wahls Behavior Change Model Different?
The traditional behavior change model we have been taught isn’t working.
The Wahls Behavior Change™ Model is a 15 step process that practitioners can use to support their patients successfully adopt therapeutic diet and lifestyle choices. The Wahls Behavior Change™ model is based on Dr. Wahls clinical research, science of behavior change, addiction medicine and her experience with the veteran patients in the Therapeutic Lifestyle Clinic. Practitioners who utilize the Wahls Behavior Change™ model have another effective tool to empower their patients and staff to improve clinical outcomes and more satisfying clinical practices.

Why did you make the decision to become a Wahls Certified Health Professional?
Shannon Lea Pickering (Brown), M.S. Psychology
—
“By the time I was 44, I had been diagnosed with 7 autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus. By 2014 I was disabled, lupus was attacking my heart and lungs and DNA and I was facing a lifetime of chemo and steroids to stop its relentless progress. What I discovered the hard way is that if you don’t take care of your mind and body and soul, your body will shut you down for maintenance. And by 2014, my body was trying to shut me down permanently. Well, I accepted the call to heal and I am happy to say that I am now free of autoimmune disease and living my purpose. I don’t even have autoimmune antibodies, which is truly a miracle. I’m proud to be featured in the newest edition of The Wahls Protocol as a Wahls Warrior Success! I now coach others on what I have learned about how to change behaviors around diet and lifestyle, overcoming fear, stress management, biohacking, mindfulness, hope restoration and the healing mentality. My passion and purpose is to now help others achieve holistic wellness so that they are free to pursue their passion and their purpose – because the world craves each of our unique contributions. ”
