How to Live a Healthy Lifestyle: From Gut Health to Life Purpose

Today we have a very special guest, Dr. Terry Wahls. She healed herself from progressive MS and now conducts clinical trials testing the efficacy of therapeutic lifestyle to treat multiple sclerosis related symptoms. In this episode we dive into lifestyle and diet changes that promote good health. We discuss:

How many cups of vegetables to eat per day
Adjusting your diet based on what your looks like
Finding your "why" behind a big lifestyle change
Why your mitochondria matter

When the mitochondria are working well, that tissue, that organ, works really well -Terry Wahls, MD

She believes healing doesn’t happen from just one thing, but a whole lifestyle approach. As a part of her practice, she has her patients ask themselves questions like “How can I live a more meaningful life in my current health circumstances?”

Tune in to find out how to optimize your health by giving attention not only to healing any specific ailments you might have, but also to your mental state, your diet, your physical activity, your life purpose and more.

After bouts with many neurologists I was diagnosed of MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, I was placed on medications which helped but my health was fast declining. Finally, I was introduced to Herbal HealthPoint and their effective Multiple Sclerosis protocol. This protocol relieved symptoms significantly, even better than the medications I was given. Visit ww w. herbalhealthpoint. c om. First month on treatment, my tremors mysterious stopped, had improvement walking. After I completed the treatment, all symptoms were gone. I live a more productive life.

Four years ago, I went numb from the waist down. After quite a few MRI’s, spinal tap, I was diagonsed with Multiple Sclerosis. I was on Avenox for almost 2 years, i had 1 year of monthly steroids IV, had to stop due to hip pain. Through my physiotherapist i learnt about a MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS HERBAL TREATMENT from R.H.G. (Rich Herbal Gardens) and their success rate with the treatment, i immediately started on the MS treatment, i experienced decline in major symptoms including hand tremor, back pain, difficulty walking, muscle paralysis and weakness, uncomfortable tingling and burning, fatigue, urinary retention,double vision, slurred speech difficulty swallowing, numbness. Visit ww w. richherbalgardens.c om. I knew that a positive attitude is everything and to just believe, I’m in control of my life again….

My first symptom of Multiple Sclerosis was when I was 16 years old. The main symptom was about 30 years later when I went blind. I had many symptoms through my life, but wasn’t tested for MS until the blindness. I’ve had problems with fatigue and balance. Thank God for leading me to BEST HEALTH HERBAL CENTRE, please don’t ignore this post is real. Best Health Herbal Centre MS herbal remedy reversed my condition totally within 6 weeks of usage only. No side effect, it works like a miracle..

I was diagnosed of Multiple Sclerosis a couple of years ago, I had severe fatigue, difficulty with mobility and sleeping. I was given medications which helped but only for a short while. So i decided to try alternative measures and began on MS HERBAL TREATMENT from Kykuyu Health Clinic, It made a tremendous difference for me (Go to www. kykuyuhealthclinic .com). I had improved walking balance, muscle strength and improved vision
