Getting Started On The Wahls Protocol®

Do you or someone you care about suffer from an autoimmune or neurological disease? Maybe there is no clear diagnosis but symptoms like brain fog, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, memory loss, or inflammation are interfering with normal life.

If you have been searching for information about functional medicine and using a therapeutic diet and lifestyle program to see how it can impact your health, you’ve arrived at the right place.

We are all at different points in our health journey. Some may be ready to make the sweeping health behavior changes it will take to start to chip away at the root cause of why disease occurs.

You may have come across my story of radical recovery, or you may have landed here after viewing my TEDx Talk.

I understand where you are at, I have been there too. I have secondary progressive MS. I am a patient, a physician, a functional medicine practitioner, and I conduct research that examines how food and nutrients impact health. I have lectured around the world and often lecture in my own community at the local co-op.

I am an educator and patient advocate, I can help guide you with information and support that you can read and think deeply about to determine what feels right for you in your health journey. The information below will guide you through the different resources I am able to offer.

No matter what path you choose, the journey to greater health is available to you.

Patients: Work With A Wahls Protocol® Certified Health Professional

I’ve had an overwhelming amount of people tell me they can’t find a health professional who is willing to work with them in the way they want. I have designed a foundational training program for health professionals who are using The Wahls Protocol® in their practice. If you are looking for additional support in your health journey, use this directory to be sure you are working with someone who has successfully completed my training program.

Search For A Wahls Health Practitioner

There are many ways to find diet and lifestyle information and support for your journey. Some of you may decide you have the financial resources and time to spend on a consultation with a functional medicine practitioner.

Others of you may not. Regardless of your approach, stay positive.

Do what you can. Use the library. Work with your primary care team.

Do not obsess over whether you can afford functional medicine.

Obsess over learning how to cook at home.

Obsess over eating what is recommended and eliminating what is harmful.

Obsess over what is in your control.

Participate in support groups online and in your community to share your experiences and strengthen your resolve.

And let go of what you cannot do or access.

If you want to learn more from me and my team about the many things that you can do to restore your health, consider joining the membership site, or if your finances allow for it, come to the Wahls Protocol® Seminar and Retreat. Keep learning. Keep focusing on what is in your control. The most critical thing you can do for your health is understand that there is a very large difference between doing the diet most of the time (even 95%) and doing the diet 100% of the time. Keep working at it, every day and every week, and know that it takes time.

It took me 17 years to get my daily program to where I am today…and I am still improving my diet and lifestyle choices. No matter which path you choose, the journey back to health is available to you.

In health,
