Summary: Using food as medicine can transform the way you think about your health; and if you suffer from a chronic disease, you can truly get your life back.If you're suffering from an autoimmune condition or chronic disease like obesity or diabetes, you know how challenging daily life can be. But what if you could dramatically turn your health and life around, simply by choosing certain foods? That's exactly what Dr. Terry Wahls did. In 2000, the marathon-running, mountain climbing Dr. Wahls was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). Within three years, this very active doctor needed a wheelchair. But she didn't give up. After studying the latest research, she embraced food as medicine. Within a year, she was able to bike 18 miles in one day, and the following year she completed a trail ride in the Canadian Rockies. Sounds like quite the amazing transformation, don't you think? Dr. Wahls joins Dr. Roizen to discuss her new book, The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine. The principles of the book are based on the Paleo way of eating... however, it isn't just another Paleo diet. It can transform the way you think about your health, and it can show you exactly how to get your life back. Bonus! More from RealAge 4 Steps to Better Eye Health
