Wahls Protocol® VIP Coaching Autoimmune Intervention Mastery – Radical Health Upgrade Radical Health Upgrade (“Program”) is an online course that includes the following course modules and concepts that are taught across the program:

1. How to interact with your medical team. Includes a discussion of typical primary care labs that are used to assess metabolic health and levels of inflammation as well as the desired target values. We will also discuss strategies for requesting testing and consultation referrals for nutrition, physical therapy, mental health, or health coaching. You will learn the options for getting access to more advanced laboratory testing available directly to the consumer. 
2. Understanding the root causes of chronic disease. Includes a discussion of the role of nutrition, toxin exposure, microbiome, hormone, movement, adverse childhood events, trauma, and genetic vulnerability in the development of autoimmune diseases, mental health problems, obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and heart disease. This will provide additional insights into how disease and health are created by the interaction of genetic vulnerability and environmental factors.
3. How to more effectively evaluate the timeline of your unique health journey. Walks the group through self-assessment of their timeline, environmental exposures, family history, life events, and current symptoms to better understand their root causes and determine where to focus their self-care efforts. These insights lead to greater understanding of one’s unique family history, life events, and environmental impacts and how they all contribute to the current state of health and disease. These insights will help you identify what is under your control and what is not under your control. 
4. How to interact with your medical team and nutrition professionals. Discusses how to use your self-assessment to select the nutrition plan you can implement as a family. Discusses the various dietary plans that have scientific merit to improve health. Discusses how to work with your primary care team to monitor progress and request nutrition consult if needed.  Understanding these concepts increases your effectiveness at advocating for yourself or your family member during visits with your medical team. 
5. How electrical therapy that targets muscles or nerves is used in rehabilitation to reduce pain and improve motor function. Discusses the role of electrical stimulation of muscles as part of neurorehabilitation, including how to find professionals with expertise in electrical therapy, and electrical stimulation therapy for pain control, muscle spasms, and muscle strengthening. Understanding electrical therapy will help you determine its potential role in your rehabilitation. Discusses the importance of movement and how to use a personal trainer, athletic trainer, PT, OT, and group classes to improve movement. 
6. Addressing the mental, spiritual, and religious aspects of your inner life to increase emotional and physical resilience. Discusses the mental, spiritual, and religious aspects of creating better health. Reviews the role of self-talk, purpose, hero’s journey, religious affiliation, and the meaning of your illness in creating health. Addressing these factors greatly increases success with adopting and sustaining desirable health behaviors and extinguishing undesirable health behaviors.  
7. Growing your internal motivation to improve your health behaviors and create the habits to build the life you desire. Reviews the Wahls Behavior Change Model™, a 15-step process that supports people in their journey to extinguish disease-promoting behaviors, increase health-promoting behaviors, and create daily habits that are essential to the life you desire. Growing one’s internal motivation is critical to creating desirable health habits and extinguishing undesirable habits. 
8. Understanding evolutionary biology and hormeses and their role in your health. Reviews evolutionary biology and the contribution of biology to human behavior, which in turn impacts the habits that humans create. This will offer insights on why disease-promoting habits develop and present effective strategies to extinguish harmful habits and replace them with health-promoting habits. We’ll also review the necessity of experiencing mild to moderate stress with sufficient time for cellular recovery (hormeses) to maintain resilience and healthy functioning of cells. 
9. Seeking joy using the principles of the pleasant life, good life, and meaningful life. This session explains how to create the “pleasant life,” “good life,” and “meaningful life” in your current state of health, enhance your level of joy, and connect to deeper meaning to increase fulfillment. Understanding and implementing these concepts is associated with greater levels of internal motivation to adopt and sustain higher levels of self-care and higher quality dietary choices. In addition, those who have more success implementing these principles report experiencing more joy and happiness. 
10. How to reduce the role of toxins in your life. Toxins increase inflammation and dysfunction in your cells, leading to worsening disease activity and greater resistance to standard treatment protocols. Toxins are everywhere in our environment–in air, water, food, and often our living and working spaces. This session teaches you to identify potential sources of toxins and strategies to reduce exposure and increase your body’s ability to remove and eliminate toxins.  The reduction of toxin body burden is often associated with improving control of underlying disease states. 
11. How to improve hormonal balance and sleep. Hormones regulate many of our cells’ processes, either speeding them up and slowing them down. The balance of hormones has a major impact on mood, memory, energy, and metabolism. In this session, you will learn how to advocate for the proper assessment of hormones by your personal medical team. You will also be taught self-care strategies that support balancing of stress hormones and more optimal sex and thyroid hormones. Sleep is essential for all mammals, including humans. Sleep disruption worsens inflammation and accelerates most chronic disease. This session also reviews the role of sleep in health and strategies to improve sleep quality and quantity. 
12.  Spreading the epidemic of health to people who matter to you. Learn how to inspire and support others in their healing journey, including mentoring others who want to spread the epidemic of health and healing. This final session discusses how to interact with people you would like to see improve their health and how to create attraction and interest in pursuing health behavior change.

You will also be invited to a private Facebook group that will be moderated by a health coach certified in the Wahls Protocol®.
