Zach Wahls

Zach Wahls who is son of two lesbians was conceived using artificial insemination and was born on July 15, 1991, to his biological mother Terry Wahls, an internal medicine physician.He also had a younger sister who shares the same sperm donor and parents. He has described the problematic attitudes of his peers: "Even my best friends that know and love my parents still toss around faggot and lesbian like it's not really a big deal. In some ways my generation is real accepting, but we still have this casual homophobia, racism and sexism.

“Tall Mom” Terry Wahls continues to juggle her career as clinical professor of internal medicine in the UI Carver College of Medicine and the Iowa City VA Medical Center while writing a book about the Wahls Protocol—using diet, exercise, and a lifestyle intervention that helped her defeat progressive MS without drugs. The protocol is the heart of an ongoing clinical trial involving others with progressive MS.

Jackie Reger—“Short Mom,” as Zach affectionately refers to his nonbiological mom—works as a nurse practitioner at the Iowa City VA Medical Center. And Zach’s younger sister Zebby, a May graduate of West High School, plans to attend the UI this fall, where she’ll major in art and art history.

Zach is of four sibilings which he was said in his popular speech.
