Portrait of Dr. Terry Wahls, indicating an interview and update on the Wahls Protocol research for Multiple Sclerosis.

When I was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2016, one of the first books I reached for was The Wahls Protocol by Dr. Terry Wahls. Her personal story of reversing symptoms from Secondary Progressive MS using food and lifestyle changes gave me hope when I needed it most. Since then, her work has not only impacted my life, but the lives of many in our MS community.

Dr. Wahls is a physician trained in both conventional and functional medicine. Her dedication to studying the link between diet and MS has been nothing short of groundbreaking. Her protocol, centered around nutrient-dense foods, especially vegetables, has become a beacon for those looking for an alternative or complementary path to managing MS.

I’ve been following the Wahls Protocol since my diagnosis and can say without hesitation that it has been a game-changer in how I manage my symptoms. It gave me back my energy, helped reduce brain fog, and most importantly, it gave me back my hope.

That’s why I became a Wahls Certified Health Practitioner. I wanted to help other women with MS discover just how powerful food can be in supporting their healing. Over the years, I’ve seen time and time again how small, simple changes in what we eat can lead to real, lasting improvements in how we feel and live.

On this week’s episode of My MS Podcast, I had the incredible honor of interviewing Dr. Wahls herself. She shared not only her personal journey but also the latest research she and her team are working on. If you’ve ever wondered how the Wahls Protocol holds up in clinical studies, this episode is for you.

We also tackled some of the most common questions I hear from clients and community members, such as:

  • How do I choose a treatment plan when I’m newly diagnosed?
  • How do I start the Wahls Protocol without getting overwhelmed?
  • Are the 9 cups of vegetables measured raw or cooked?

Dr. Wahls brings clarity, science, and compassion to these questions. Her answers will help you feel more confident in taking the next step, whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your current wellness plan.

If you’re curious about participating in her research, you can take the first step by filling out the research survey at the link in the episode description.

I'm Alene, your MS Sister.

When I was diagnosed with MS in 2016, I was scared and felt alone. But as a Nutrition Coach, I knew there was more to healing than what I was being told. I took action and within six months the lesions I had on my brain shrunk and went inactive. Now, seven years later there has been no new lesions and no new activity. As a nutritionist specializing in multiple sclerosis, I help women take back control of their future.

That’s my story, but I’m not alone. It's your turn to start Thriving with MS. I’m here to show you the way.
