It's time to reclaim your health from the debilitating symptoms of your autoimmune or chronic disease.
Your disease does not have to define your future—
Understanding your unique autoimmune triggers will help you create a personalized healing protocol to transform your health and help you feel good once again.
Dr. Terry Wahls is living proof that a diet and lifestyle intervention can have a profound impact on autoimmune dysfunction and chronic disease.
She spent 20+ years declining from Multiple Sclerosis until she took her health into her own hands and made the radical recovery from tilt-recline wheelchair to biking once again.
By following a therapeutic diet and lifestyle protocol, Dr. Wahls shows us that you can still thrive and live a full, meaningful life despite your diagnosis.
Begin Your Own Health Transformation At The Virtual Wahls Protocol® Seminar
This event is your opportunity to learn all the research-backed information and to practice the skills that will empower you to take charge of your health. Sign up for either the Essentials or Advanced Tracks—or join both and save on the bundle!
Hear what past attendees have to say
You will be joining Dr. Terry Wahls and hundreds of people living with MS, autoimmune, and chronic disease to celebrate each other and learn from some of the most forward-thinking (and eating) integrative medical professionals in the industry.
It has never been more critical for you to have a guide who knows the functional and integrative medicine approach to creating optimal health.
Our conventional colleagues are not equipped to answer these questions.
They don’t know how to guide patients through diet, lifestyle, supplement use, and the functional medicine approach to optimizing health.
You’ll hear transformative lectures that will teach you:
How a lifetime of food and environmental exposures led to the poor health you have.
How the health of your cells determines the health of your body and that you cannot become well until your cells are well.
The root cause of why your cells started to malfunction,
leading to your illness.
What specific steps you can take to address
the specific root causes of your poor health.
How to properly feed and nourish your cells so that they can
repair and rebuild a healthier you!
How to grow your inner motivation so that you are willing to
make the needed diet and lifestyle changes to get your cells healthy once again.
Topics to be covered include:

When Can I Stop My Medication? And How The Wahls Protocol Can Get You There.
A podium presentation followed by panel discussion with Dr. Ken Sharlin and Dr. Terry Wahls
The first time the words, “You have multiple sclerosis” is heard by anyone must be devastating news. Perhaps second to hearing the diagnosis is difficult to accept the idea that conventional treatment means a life sentence of medications that are costly and can have serious, life-threatening, side effects. Until recently, there has not been an examination of when disease-modifying therapy can be stopped. Our presentation will explore the latest information on this subject, including a discussion of how The Wahls Protocol offers a strategy to MS sufferers to take control, and increase the likelihood that they can stop their medication.
Only the Good Die Young: Dr. Roy Walford, ALS, and the Dream of Longevity – Lessons Learned from the Field and the Lab.
Presentation Abstract: Roy’s story is amazing and ironic for a man who said he would live to 120, but died at 79 of ALS. Dr. Roy Walford was a pioneer researcher in the field of longevity, mentor to Dr. Valter Longo who is the inventor of the PROLON diet. He was know to be extremely colorful and multi-talented beyond his work as a scientist. He was an actor, a social activist, an author, a musician, and a leading advocate for the idea that a nutrient dense calorie restricted diet would extend life for (potentially) decades. Infamously, he spent 2 years living in Biosphere 2 in the Arizona Desert along with 7 other “crew members” to demonstrate the viability of closed ecological systems to support and maintain human life in outer space. It was designed to explore the web of interactions within life systems in a structure with different areas based on various ecological biomes. Little did he know that when he emerged from Biosphere 2 with slurred speech and an awkward gait he was showing signs of the disease that would be his demise. However, the 5 year survival of ALS is only about 5% and yet Walford lived for many years beyond the expected survival. I will be using his story to explore ALS from a functional medicine perspective and speculate what may have triggered Walford’s illness but also contributed to his unusually long survival with the illness.

If you’re flying in, we suggest either taking the complimentary hotel shuttle, hiring a taxi (estimated at $42 each way), or renting a car if you’d like to do some sightseeing on your own! The Marriott offers complimentary parking for guests if you bring a car.

What should I wear?
The Marriott hotel ballroom can sometimes be chilly, so we suggest you dress in layers during the day sessions. August in Iowa is pretty hot and humid, so if you go outside, you might want to consider bringing a cooling vest or head wrap if you are heat-sensitive. For those with sensitivity to light, we suggest bringing sunglasses with you that you can wear inside during the day-sessions, as the meeting room lights can be bright.
