He is the Medical Director for the Neurohacker Collective, a Google consultant for wearable technology, epigenetics, and AI in healthcare and a guest lecturer at Stanford University on Epigenetics in Clinical Practice. He discovered that lifestyle was the key to creating an optimized life and his journey to find the ideal approach to optimizing human potential took him on a path through functional medicine, alternative care, holistic, naturopathic, and age-management medicine. Each modality fell short of the outcome of creating a truly optimized human mainly because they focused on the disease model of treating symptoms as opposed to a model that focuses on human systems, homeostatic balance and optimization.

In 2008, a new world opened through the lens of genetics and epigenetics and his near obsession like fascination of the potentials for personalized human systems design led to the realization that we truly have the ability within us to take charge of our destiny and become the architects of our evolution.

Dr. Terry Wahls: NeuroRestoration Using Diet and Lifestyle to Repair and Reverse Neurodegeneration

About the Call:

We have over 5 million with Dementia, 2 million with Parkinson’s disease and 800,000 with multiple sclerosis all of which are progressive diseases leading to a slowing shrinking brain and worsening disability. There are over 2 million traumatic brain injuries each year and most will be left with chronic neurological and psychological symptoms that impact work and family life.

Conventional medicine does not have a treatment that stops the decline in these disease states or after traumatic brain injury. One in four children are taking psychiatric medicines to control mood or behaviour. Our brains are under assault but conventional medicine uses prescriptions to control symptoms. It is better to get to the root cause of these brain issues and address those to stop the brain decline, repair the brain and restore the brain. That is the focus of Dr. Wahls’ clinical practice and research.

Dr. Wahls has led a traumatic brain injury clinic and a therapeutic lifestyle clinic that used diet and lifestyle to reduce pain, reduce brain fog, improve memory and mood, improve quality of life and improve overall function in these clinics, The traumatic brain injury and therapeutic lifestyle patients needed less and less medication. They got their lives back. If you or loved on have a brain related health issue, this lecture will change your life..

Born and raised in Concord, Massachusetts, Tricia’s own struggles began in early childhood, where she attempted to cope with life’s stresses and emotional pain by overeating and other destructive behaviors. Continuing into adolescence, she began binge drinking, and eventually gained more than 50 pounds. After years of experimentation with 12-step programs, therapy and self-help books, Tricia finally hit a spiritual and emotional bottom.

Tricia attended Amherst College and began her career working at the Seattle Art Museum. While in Seattle she began working with spiritual healer, Roy Nelson (who would later become her husband), who helped her recognize and heal the root causes of her addictions. By creating a lifestyle steeped in positive self-care, self-love and improved self-esteem, Tricia was able to stop drinking and overeating. She has maintained a fifty-pound weight loss for close to 30 years now.

Tricia has spent the past three decades studying the addictive personality, and shares her findings in workshops and retreats both in person and online. Many doctors, psychologists and other health practitioners benefit from her insight about what drives people to overeat and how to stop.
