Let’s be honest: the Wahls Protocol — all leafy greens, organ meats, and mindful chewing — is a noble pursuit. But for those of us managing MS with one hand and a grocery list of kale with the other, the journey can feel… well, surreal. Enter nonsense verse, the poetic pressure valve. Because if you can’t laugh about blitzing bone broth at 7 a.m., are you really healing? This one’s for everyone who’s tried to follow the Wahls Protocol while living in the real, occasionally ridiculous, world.
The Wahls Protocol: A Recipe for Rhyme or Madness?
Introduction to the Verse
The Wahls Protocol is a powerful nutrition plan designed to help people with autoimmune diseases — particularly MS — reclaim their health through food. But between sourcing sulphur-rich veggies and finding a good butcher who doesn’t flinch at the phrase “grass-fed offal,” the path can get a little… eccentric. So, here’s a nonsense tribute to the joys, trials, and kitchen chaos of living the Wahls way.
The Wahls Wobble and the Collagen Crone
I met a spoon who married a squash,
They brewed bone broth in a colander posh.
A beetroot wept for a coconut flake,
While a sardine danced in a kale milkshake.
The liver was loose with the bok choy’s son,
They eloped in a salad and called it fun.
A walnut declared, “I’m a mushroom’s mate!”
But tripped on a ginseng root’s old debate.
Three blueberries argued in turmeric tones,
While ginger composed on marrowbone phones.
A cabbage screamed, “No lectins allowed!”
Then donned a beret to look more proud.
Sulphur and sunshine met on a date,
Wearing sardines and coconut pate.
The freezer sang songs to a Brussels sprout,
As the fridge staged protests about going out.
A gnarled old crone with collagen knees
Made love to a turnip beneath the trees.
“I’m Wahls compliant!” she cheerfully lied,
While licking a carrot dipped in cyanide.The Ballad of the Broccoli Bard
I once met a beet who recited in rhyme,
While roasting its roots with a squeeze of thyme.
It danced with a leek in a sautéing sprawl,
And held court with herbs in a garlic-strewn hall.
A cabbage composed an operatic scale,
While courgettes performed in a turmeric gale.
The sardines sang jazz in a coconut shawl —
A curious feast, yet admired by all.
A mushroom philosopher pondered aloud:
“Is this healing or madness?” (The kale looked proud.)
Chard quoted Plato in spirulina drawl,
Then claimed it was cooked in accordance with law.
Bone broth conducted a beetroot ballet,
While parsley eloped with a walnut pâté.
A blueberry monk in nutritional shawl
Murmured the mantras of Wahls Protocol.
Avocados debated the ethics of ghee,
As spinach composed a new symphony.
Even the sceptics, from lentil to thrall,
Wrote odes to the joy of a pantry so tall.
So if in your kitchen the veggies converse,
And dinner arrives with a metered verse,
Just bow to the beet in its sautéing sprawl —
It may be a bard of the Wahls Protocol.Reflection
The Wahls Protocol offers real hope for managing MS, and many have seen their lives transformed by its nutrient-dense embrace. But let’s not pretend it’s always easy. Between complex rules, expensive ingredients, and the ever-watchful eye of nutritional perfectionism, it can feel like you’re hosting a masquerade ball in your own kitchen. And that’s where nonsense helps: it gives us permission to laugh when we’d otherwise cry into our grass-fed mince. Because healing and humour? They go together like sardines and sauerkraut — oddly satisfying.
Sticking to a protocol like Wahls takes more than willpower; it takes curiosity, flexibility, and a willingness to dance with imperfection. It’s not about sainthood through spinach — it’s about showing up, meal after meal, with enough grace to forgive the slip-ups and enough grit to try again tomorrow. And if you can chuckle while doing it? All the better. A smile might not be listed among the essential nutrients, but it’s surely one of the most potent.

Conclusion
So there you have it: a dietary revolution, told through rhyming rebellion. Whether you’re faithfully following the Wahls Protocol or just managing to eat a vegetable once in a while, you deserve a cheer. Nonsense verse won’t replace vitamins or mitochondria, but it might just nourish your spirit — especially when The Wahls Protocol starts to feel like a full-time job with a dress code. Carry on healing, with a wink and a wobble.
While the Wahls Protocol is not a cure, many who follow it report noticeable improvements in energy, mobility, and mental clarity. For those living with chronic conditions like MS, it offers a structured, nutrient-rich approach that supports the body’s natural resilience. As with any lifestyle change, it’s wise to consult a healthcare professional — but for some, this protocol becomes more than a diet; it becomes a foundation for hope and healing.
