Dr. Terry Wahls – Why you should STOP keto (at least for now) | Ep 86
Food is medicine — and my guest today is living proof.
In 2000, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and within a few years, she was confined to a wheelchair.
But instead of just relying on conventional medicine, she radically transformed her diet. Within a year, she’d ditched the wheelchair — and the cane — and was back on her beloved bicycle.
She’s Dr. Terry Wahls, a professor at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, a bestselling author, and one of the foremost experts on the power of nutrition to reverse autoimmune disease.
On today’s show, Dr. Wahls and I are going to tackle hot topics like the keto diet and intermittent fasting, discuss whether fruit is really all it’s cracked up to be, and discuss why gluten-free doesn’t always mean there’s no gluten at all.
Don’t miss this one!
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to get the benefits of keto WITHOUT the restrictive diet (7:00)
- The stem cell technique that can help you age “backward” like Benjamin Button (and it WON’T require $15,000 treatments) (11:00)
- One surprising food you’re probably eating every day (and maybe even every meal) that’s actually spiking your blood sugar (13:45)
- Why eating a pound of this so-called “superfood” every week may seriously damage your digestive health (17:45)
- When it’s actually a good idea to eat NOTHING but meat (19:20)
- Why our ancestors probably skipped breakfast (and maybe even lunch!) — and what that meant for their waistlines (29:15)
- How the fruits we eat are VERY different from the fruits our ancestors ate (and why it matters) (34:15)
- How these common diet “cheats” can have a MAJOR negative impact on your health (40:00)
- Should you actually avoid eating leafy greens? The answer is YES — but only under these circumstances… (47:05)

After an MRI i was diagnosed of MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. After years on medications, symptoms worsened with tremors on my right hand, numbness and tingling, muscle weakness and loss of speech. Fortunately last year, i learnt about RICH HERBAL GARDENS and their Multiple Sclerosis alternative treatment ww w. richherberbalgardens. com the Multiple Sclerosis treatment made a great difference, most of my symptoms including tremors, weakness and others gradually disappeared. I improved greatly over the 4 months treatment, its been a year since the treatment, i have no symptoms. I have a very good quality of life and a great family!
I was diagnosed in with MS, at 51, in 2017 and have been treated with Copaxone, Tysarbri, back to Copaxone, Ocreveus . I had relapses while on Copaxone. Ocreveus did not help me.
