What if I redesign my paleo diet to get in the food the things I am taking in supplement form?” (13:23) “Now I am helping people to learn how to really dial in their diet to keep getting better, and better, and better health outcomes.” (20:10) “It turns out that when we fast or go through periods where there is not enough food, that does a lot of favorable nudging of how our cells run the chemistry of life.” (25:31) “The first thing you have to do is give people hope that it is possible, you have to explain the mechanisms of how this can work in metaphors that are culturally appropriate.” (31:29)   Resources Mentioned The Wahls Protocol Diet Cheat Sheet Wahls Research and Gait Videos The Wahls Protocol Seminar & Retreat Dr. Terry Wahls Website The Wahls Protocol  The Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life EY 089: Palmer Kippola   Other Resources: The Essential Oils Hormone Solution by Dr. Mariza Check out the full show notes page Keep up with everything Dr. Mariza Follow Dr. Mariza on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube
