When the renowned Dr. Terry Wahls of “The Wahls Protocol” reaches out to your podcast to help her spread news about a new study she’s recruiting for, first you pinch yourself, then, as an HSCTr, you wanna ask her if it’s true that she had chemotherapy, and, yes, I got my answer (you’ll have to listen to find out).
