00:01From a health standpoint, your diet and lifestyle is the most effective tool that we have.
00:07If you get the diet wrong, it's very hard to recover.
00:12I grew up on a farm, and as a teenager I was certainly very active.
00:16I did running, I did some marathons, long distance skiing.
00:22My symptoms began during medical school.
00:26Something was very wrong.
00:28I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
00:32Taking the newest drugs was not stopping my decline, and I did not want to become disabled.
00:40I understood how pain could kill.
00:45I decided to start searching what I could do on my own with these unknown environmental factors that lead to MS.
00:51Physical activity level, toxin exposures, and the quality of diet.
00:55I'd started with a hunter-gatherer diet.
00:59I also took my vitamin cocktail, and after a lot of thought, I went back to eating meat.
01:05I gave up all grain, all legumes, all dairy.
01:08That's when the magic began.

01:23I started using some of these concepts in my primary care clinic.
01:29My colleagues were pretty upset.
01:32The chief of staff called me and said, you have to prove the diet is safe.
01:36I'm not on any disease modifying drugs anymore.
01:40This is all diet and lifestyle.
01:41I did not expect to recover.
01:50The power of healing lies within you.
01:54Our world needs to change.
01:57Having multiple sclerosis has been one of the greatest gifts I've received.
02:01It allowed me to relearn and rethink everything that I thought I understood about medicine.
02:06It allowed me to take care of medicine.
