Synopsis

The long-awaited cookbook companion to The Wahls Protocol, the groundbreaking guide to reversing autoimmune conditions through diet

In The Wahls Protocol (Avery, 2014), Dr. Terry Wahls shared her incredible story of recovery from progressive multiple sclerosis - she went from being nearly bedridden to biking 18 miles just over a year later - through the combined efforts of functional medicine and a complete overhaul of her diet. Now, in her highly anticipated follow-up, Dr. Wahls is sharing the essential Paleo-inspired recipes her readers need to reduce and often eliminate their chronic pain, fatigue, brain fog and other symptoms related to autoimmune problems, neurological diseases, and other chronic conditions, even when physicians have been unable to make a specific diagnosis.

Packed with easy-to-prepare meals based on Dr. Wahls's pioneering Therapeutic Lifestyle Clinic and her clinical research, in a simple format readers can customise to their own needs and preferences, this cookbook features breakfasts, smoothies, skillets, soups, wraps, salads and snacks that are inexpensive to prepare, nourishing and delicious. With strategies for cooking on a budget, reducing food waste, celebrating the holidays without compromising health and helpful tips from fellow Wahls-Warriors, THE WAHLS PROTOCOL COOKING FOR LIFE will empower readers to make lasting changes and finally reclaim their health.

Terry Wahls, M.D., is a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine in Iowa City and the director of the Therapeutic Lifestyle Clinic at the Iowa City Veterans Affairs Health Care System, where she treats veterans with autoimmune, neurological, and medical problems using diet and lifestyle interventions. In addition, she is a clinical researcher, studying the use of diet and lifestyle interventions in autoimmune and other chronic disease states. Diagnosed in 2000 with multiple sclerosis, Dr. Wahls created an intensive nutrition, lifestyle, and neuromuscular electrical stimulation protocol that would treat her MS, The Wahls Protocol.
