Are “Healthy” Foods Holding You Back?

Some of the world’s most celebrated superfoods contain natural compounds that can either help—or hinder—your health.

Most people (and many practitioners) don’t know the difference.

Join Dr. Terry Wahls for a deep, evidence-based exploration of antinutrients—what they are, when they help, when they harm, and how to work with your body instead of against it.

What This Lecture Is About

Antinutrients like oxalates, lectins, goitrogens, phytates, tannins, and phytoestrogens often get blamed for everything from bloating to joint pain to thyroid dysfunction.


Antinutrients like oxalates, lectins, goitrogens, phytates, tannins, and phytoestrogens often get blamed for everything from bloating to joint pain to thyroid dysfunction.

But here’s the truth:

 👉 These compounds aren’t “good” or “bad.”

 👉 They’re contextual.

 👉 And in some people, they’re actually therapeutic.

In this live lecture + Q&A, Dr. Wahls will break down:

  • What antinutrients actually are (minus the internet fearmongering)

  • Which foods contain them—and why that matters

  • How they can damage health in susceptible individuals

  • How those same compounds support health in others

  • The science behind plant compounds and immune, metabolic, and neurological function

  • The mitigation strategies (soaking, sprouting, fermenting, cooking techniques) that reduce unwanted effects

  • How to personalize intake based on your biology, symptoms, and therapeutic goals

Most conversations about antinutrients are filled with fear, misinformation, and overly restrictive advice. But clinically, the story is far more nuanced.

Who this lecture is for

If you’re trying to eat healthier but feel confused—or worse, feel worse—this class helps you finally understand why certain plant foods may or may not work for you.

Learn to:

 ✔ Stop guessing

 ✔ Reduce discomfort

 ✔ Build a diet that supports your biology

 ✔ Understand what your body is telling you


For Practitioners:

This training gives you a clinical framework to better evaluate plant compounds in autoimmune, thyroid, neuropsychiatric, and digestive cases.

You’ll learn how to:

 ✔ Identify susceptibility patterns

 ✔ Tailor mitigation strategies

 ✔ Preserve nutrient density while reducing reactivity

 ✔ Know when antinutrients might actually support your treatment goals


Why This Matters

There is so much confusion about antinutrients in the nutrition world.

The internet is filled with fear-inducing claims that lead people to:

  • Cut out nutrient-rich foods
  • Misinterpret symptoms
  • Follow unnecessarily restrictive diets

This lecture gives you clarity, context, and practical strategies—so you can make informed decisions that support your health or your patients’.

Who is Dr. Terry Wahls?

When you’re committed to transforming your health, you want Dr. Terry Wahls on your team.

Dr. Terry Wahls is a physician-scientist who conducts clinical research and has published more than 65 peer-reviewed scientific abstracts, posters, and papers, which have been cited more than 1,800 times by other scientists.

In addition to being a medical doctor, Dr. Wahls is also a patient with a chronic, progressive disease. She was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis in 2000, and by 2003, she had transitioned to secondary progressive multiple sclerosis and was forced to rely on a tilt/recline wheelchair for mobility.

She had severe pain due to trigeminal neuralgia. At the height of her disease progression, she was too weak to sit up in a regular chair and was confined to bed or a zero-gravity chair that kept her knees higher than her nose. It was at this stage that Dr. Wahls began to study nutrition, lifestyle, and functional medicine in hopes of slowing her decline. Little did she realize she’d be able to reverse the damage.

Dr. Wahls now bikes to work and jogs in the neighborhood. She is committed to doing research that will change the standard of care so that all MS and neuroimmune patients are told that diet and lifestyle changes are key to restoring health.

The Wahls Protocol®: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles comes from Dr. Wahls’ own quest to treat the debilitating symptoms she experiences as a sufferer of progressive MS.

Her methods have since become a worldwide sensation, transforming the lives of people with complex chronic illnesses.

The Standard of Care is Changing, But We’re Not There, Yet

It takes 30 years to change the standard of care. MS neurologists are beginning to consider diet and lifestyle important but have not yet embraced functional measurement of microbiomes, assessment of health and life events timelines, or identification of the environmental factors that lead to microbiome imbalance. Nor do they have the time to spend teaching their patients how to implement diet and lifestyle changes that could dramatically improve their health.

It will take another 15 years to change the standard of care. But, you can sign up for this program today! It will empower you to learn about the root causes of your hormonal imbalance as well as the diet, supplement, and lifestyle choices that can change the direction of your health journey and help you restore your vitality.
