336: [heal.] Dr. Terry Wahls on How to Prevent and Heal Autoimmune Diseases with Food, Strengthening Your Mitochondria, The Power of Breastfeeding, and Why Sleep is Critical for Wellness

It’s week two of our new series, [heal.] and today, we’re talking with one of my medical heroes, Dr. Terry Wahls, about how to prevent and heal autoimmune diseases with food and how to strengthen your mitochondria. We’re also going to talk about the power of breastfeeding and why sleep is critical for wellness. Dr. Wahls is a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine in Iowa City, Iowa, USA, where she teaches internal medicine residents in their primary care clinics. She also does clinical research and has published over 60 peer-reviewed scientific abstracts, posters, and papers. But in addition to being a doctor, she is also a patient with a chronic, progressive disease, which you’ll hear about in a few moments.
