The Wahls Protocol - I ws first introduced to Dr Terry Wahls a few years ago by Cyndi O'Meara who posted Dr Terry Wahls tedx talk called Minding my Mitochondria. She is a university professor who reversed her Multiple Sclerosis by diet, exercise and electrical therapy. She now focus' her time conducting studies on how diet can reverse MS and all the other auto immune diseases out there. She has three phases of her protocol depending on how sick you are. It is not just about eating more vegetables and quality sourced proteins. Its about how you eat them.
Dr Kelly Brogan - Spoke recently at the Mindd Forum in Sydney early this year. She has just released a book called "A Mind of Your Own" helping women to reclaim their lives by healing depression holistically without a single prescription. A compelling read.
Dr Natasha Campbell McBride - Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS)
The GAPS protocol is about healing and sealing the gut. It is believed that many diseases are caused by damage to the gut wall causing undigested molecules to leak into the bloodstream. These foreign invaders put our immune system into chaos. They mount an attack until our immune system can longer tell what is foreign and what is our own tissue. This leads to autoimmune disease. Where or what autoimmune disease it is depends on where your weakest link is. For some it may be the brain, joints, muscles, mitochondria etc... with a wide range of symptoms such as multiple food allergies or sensitivities, brain fog, fatigue, aches and pains, mood imbalances, rashes, weight gain, digestive issues.
