What a tour de force conversation with Dr. Terry Wahls, who is, with her groundbreaking research, changing both conventional and functional medicine's approach to multiple sclerosis and ultimately patient care. I'm very excited to see the findings of her ongoing clinical trials, which evaluate the use of several popular dietary patterns, using MRIs to measure brain volume loss, microbiome data, metabolomics, and more. And folks, if you want to be a research participant there's still time register your interest on Dr. Wahls' website. In the podcast, we also dive into long COVID, mental health challenges, and autoimmunity. We also explore treatments in the longevity and biohacking space, such as therapeutic plasma exchange, stem cells, and exosomes. Dr. Wahls has her finger on the pulse of what’s happening in the MS community, and you’re definitely going to want to listen to this one. Enjoy! ~DrKF
