"This info really works and Dr Wahls is the real deal" according to Jodi-Hummingbird. I was very unsure about this diet at first, as it seemed to clash so strongly with so many of the wonderful health and diet books I had been reading.Wahls recommendation of a low fat diet that was also very low in saturated fat is the opposite of what highly respected lipid expert Mary Enig PhD recommends, and what is recommended - based on a ton of very convincing evidence - in so many other great books based on maintaining or regaining health through eating the diet our bodies have evolved to do best on, such as Primal Body- Primal Mind, Primal Blueprint, The Perfect Health Diet, Eat Fat-Lose Fat, The GAPS diet and other.

Recovery from progressive multiple sclerosis is possible Prof George Jelinek Dr Terry Wahls, Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Iowa, is an inspiration. She was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2000, and within three years had become wheelchair dependent in the secondary progressive phase of the disease. Her rapid descent into disability was a strong motivation to begin to delve into the scientific literature around MS. Terry began to assemble literature around the health of mitochondria. These little (about 5micrometres diameter) structures live inside our cells and convert food into energy. It is quite likely that over evolution, these tiny particles
She then teaches you how to eat for healthy mitochondria, a healthy brain and a healthy body in language that is clear and concise, even for those without a science background. Over a hundred recipes are provided to help get you started on this new way of eating. The result is an epidemic of depression, aggression, multiple sclerosis and early dementia. Then she explains what foods are good sources for those key nutrients. In this book, Dr. She tells us what vitamin, mineral and essential fat building blocks are needed by the mitochondria and other key structures in the brain. Terry Wahls links micronutrient starvation to the epidemics of chronic disease that are overtaking modern society. Americans are eating so poorly, something we all know to be true, that the majority of Americans are missing key building blocks that are needed for brain cells to be healthy. Dr. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be used to fund research into the benefits of these interventions in others.. Wahls explains basic brain biology in simple terms. She explains the key roles mitochondria play in maintaining a healthy brain and body
