Toxins and MS: How Heavy Metals, Microplastics, and Chemical Compounds Are Affecting Your Disease Progression - and How to Get Back on Track

A Functional Medicine Course by Dr. Terry Wahls, MD

Are hidden toxins fueling your MS progression?

Modern life exposes us to thousands of chemicals that can quietly damage our mitochondria, increase inflammation, and accelerate neurodegeneration. From microplastics and pesticides to heavy metals like lead and mercury, these toxins can overwhelm the body’s natural detoxification systems - and contribute to worsening MS and autoimmune symptoms.

In this course, Dr. Terry Wahls, MD, shares the functional medicine approach she used to identify and reduce her own toxin burden - and the exact steps you can take to do the same.

That's why I'm offering The MS Toxins Test + Course, which will teach you how to safely detox your body and your home , with the added benfit of the personalized testing. 

The next step is education and empowerment - getting the knowledge and tools you need to reclaim your health.

How Precision Lab Testing and Health Coaching Can Help

We've found a way to help our patients get their toxic burden back in balance and slow the progress of their decline.

Our approach uses advanced laboratory analysis to identify toxic metal exposure and evaluate how well your body is eliminating these harmful elements. Through a urine toxic metals test, we assess both pre- and post- chelation samples to measure the body’s net retention of heavy metals - including lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and more. This provides an objective picture of your toxin burden, detoxification capacity, and nutrient status.


You’ll gain insight into how chronic, low - level exposures to environmental metals may be contributing to symptoms such as fatigue, inflammation, impaired immune function, poor wound healing, hypertension, and neurological issues. We’ll teach you how to interpret your results, understand what they mean for your health, and begin targeted detoxification and nutrient support strategies safely and effectively.


This comprehensive evaluation gives you a deeper understanding of how and why toxins accumulate in the body, and a clear, functional medicine plan to help you reduce exposure, restore mineral balance, and protect long-term neurological and cellular health.

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.

Are you ready to become your own best advocate? Let’s get started.

This exclusive program was created to help you lay the foundations of health so you’ll have more energy and mental focus to advocate for your ongoing healing process.

We live in an era of unprecedented chemical exposure. These invisible toxins affect the brain, immune system, hormones, and mitochondria—the very systems that determine whether MS progresses or stabilizes. Functional medicine provides the roadmap for identifying and reversing those exposures—so you can regain control of your health trajectory.
