Today I have an incredible interview with Justine Stull. Justine is one of the admins on my Heal with Nicole and Nicole Sachs Support Circle communities. She's been with us for a few years, and she's just so wise. There's nothing like sitting with someone who has really walked through the work herself and now takes other people through with her beautiful guidance and caring comments on our pages. Today, Justine and I are going to be talking about her own chronic pain journey and all of the impactful practices she's gathered along the way - with a focus on self-compassion and self-regulation. One of my favorite things she says in the beginning is, "The first thing to leave was the fear." That's a great place to start! Enjoy this conversation filled with so many gold nuggets! XOXO n.

There is a weird trend now arguing that you should go low fat on a carnivore diet, because wild animals can be lean and therefore our ancestors would have only eaten lean meat on a carnivore diet. this is demonstrably false, and unsafe, for many reasons, as explained in this video. (My video "Is Ketosis Harmful?" https://youtu.be/nJyUQmRc1q8?si=r2IngkzpwxEqkCFv ) What we seem to see are people who may not be doing a full carnivore diet, just fatty meat and water, and will include quite a lot of dairy such as milk or cheese, yogurt etc I may even include artificial sweeteners, which absolutely will Elevate insulin the fat storage hormone. People do this and they tend to gain weight or can't lose the weight they want to lose, and they get convinced that this is because they are eating too much fat, even though eating high-fat carnivore actually improved their health, nutrition, society, and help with weight loss earlier on before they added in the dairy and the artificial sweeteners. Once they lower the fat, they start to get the majority of their calories from protein and can start getting very unwell from low-grade protein poisoning. this may lose some weight, as an early sign of protein poisoning is rapid weight loss, but this is unhealthy weight loss. Then they might think that this is just a fact of being in ketosis so they adding carbohydrates, and because they are now getting calories from something besides protein, the protein poisoning subsides, thus confirming their own bias. So by not doing carnivore and using artificial sweeteners and/or dairy people start to gain weight or not be able to lose as much weight as they want to, so they switch to low fat hoping that will help. Then they start feeling unwell, like we do to low-grade protein poisoning and likely malnutrition from a lack of fat soluble vitamins, and so they think that carnivore didn't work for them and they start adding back in other things like carbohydrates. Then they tell others that carnivore didn't work for them and maybe it doesn't work for others as well, but the problem is that they weren't doing carnivore in the first place. Carnivore is a complete absence of anything except meat and eggs, and for some people not even eggs. If you add in a lot of dairy and / or sweeteners you will not get the same results as others, and you will likely gain weight. Fat is an essential nutrient, and our ancestors absolutely prioritize the fat, and ate the fattiest animals that they could find. #carnivore #weightloss #nutrition   If you liked this and want to learn more go to my new website www.DrAnthonyChaffee.com

Episode 25:41 The (Natural) Autoimmune Solution It is estimated that nearly 50 million Americans suffer with an autoimmune disorder. Conditions such as Hashimoto's, Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis, Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis and Vitiligo.  The cause, according to the medical profession, is unknown. I don't believe that. The treatment, according to the medical profession, focuses on drugs. Drugs such as Immunosuppressants, Anti-Inflammatories, Corticosteroids, and Pain killers. I don't agree with that. The mechanism of action is that the Immune System starts attacking healthy cells. I don't think that's correct. So, what do I think? THAT is what this episode is all about. The cause, treatment and mechanism of action regarding autoimmune disorders. It's an episode that will certainly ruffle some feathers while also shedding some light on an interesting subject. Be sure to give it a good listen… especially if you, or someone you know, suffers with an autoimmune disorder.  And, as always, please share it with a friend.  Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?

Building Resilience: The Missing Link in Autoimmune Burnout Recovery Most people think resilience means pushing harder, powering through stress, fatigue, and flare-ups until the body finally gives in. But what if that approach is actually keeping you stuck in burnout? In this episode of Autoimmune Simplified, Dr. Alison Danby redefines what resilience really means in autoimmune healing, and it's not about being tougher or doing more. You'll learn how true resilience is built through flexibility, not force, and why it may be the key to restoring balance after chronic stress or flares. This is Part 3 of our 3-part Autoimmune Burnout Series, wrapping up the conversation on burnout and cortisol with the science (and practice) of building your bounce-back capacity.

In this expert interview, I sit down with Dr. Kevin Tracey—pioneer of the “inflammatory reflex” and a leading voice on neuroimmune science—to unpack how your nervous system can dial inflammation up or down. We explore what's really driving inflammatory arthritis, why the vagus nerve is a key switch for immune balance, and how neuromodulation (yes, stimulating nerves!) is opening new, drug-sparing frontiers for pain and flare control. You'll learn the difference between protective vs. destructive inflammation, practical ways to support vagal tone, and what the latest research means for people living with autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. If you've wondered how the brain, immune system, and joints talk to each other, this conversation connects the dots—and offers hope. Kevin J. Tracey, MD, is president and CEO of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health, a pioneer of vagus nerve research and author of The Great Nerve. A leader in the scientific fields of inflammation and neuroscience, his lab studies vagus nerve stimulation and bioelectronic medicine. His contributions include first identifying the therapeutic action of monoclonal anti-TNF antibodies and discovering the specific reflex control of immunity by the nervous system, called the “inflammatory reflex.” These discoveries launched the new scientific field called bioelectronic medicine, which investigates the therapeutic applications of vagus nerve stimulation to cure disease. Dr. Tracey, a neurosurgeon, pursued studies of inflammation after the mysterious death of a toddler from sepsis who was in his care. His lab has since revealed molecular mechanisms of inflammation and identified the use of vagus nerve stimulation to treat it. An inventor on more than 120 U.S. patents and the author of more than 450 scientific publications, he is among the most highly cited scientists in the world. He co-founded the Global Sepsis Alliance, is the author of Fatal Sequence (Dana Press) and is a national and international lecturer.

In this episode of Menopause Reimagined, Andrea Donsky, a nutritionist, menopause educator, published menopause researcher, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, talks with Leslie Kenny, CEO and patient advocate based in Oxford, about reversing autoimmune symptoms, supporting healthy aging, and easing perimenopause and menopause with food-first strategies. Leslie shares how she went from multiple autoimmune diagnoses and a grim prognosis to conceiving naturally at 43 and achieving a biological age of 21 at 59, through lifestyle changes, nutrition, and a science-backed compound called spermidine.Topics Covered:Autoimmune to thriving: Leslie's simple steps to lower inflammation, support immunity, and rebuild health.Spermidine, a natural compound that triggers cell cleanup (autophagy) and acts like a versatile “Swiss Army knife” for healthy aging.Food-first sources you can use now: nato (fermented soy), shiitake/oyster mushrooms, legumes, peas, and long-fermented cheeses like British cheddar.Menopause-specific wins: better sleep, hair and skin changes, nail strength, and support for hormonal balance.How spermidine reverses 8 of the 12 “aging levers”.New studies suggest that spermidine plays a role in immune rejuvenation and anti-tumor surveillance. Plus a Canadian study showing shifts in estradiol, cortisol, DHEA, and pregnenolone.Links:Primedene with Morphus20 to receive 20% off your orderSpermidine potentiates anti-tumor immune responses and immunotherapy sensitivity in breast cancerSend us a text ✅ Fill out our surveys: https://bit.ly/4jcVuLh

GLP-1s are everywhere right now, but most people may not use them in the best way especially with thyroid issues. McCall McPherson joins Inna to explain why standard dosing creates all the side effects you hear about, and how a specific way of microdosing changes everything,  especially for those with thyroid conditions.This conversation goes beyond weight loss. McCall breaks down how to use GLP-1s properly for thyroid bodies so food, muscle, and metabolism stay intact. She shares why slower loss is actually healthier, how to know if your doctor's approach is too aggressive and the overlooked benefits these medications can bring when done right.One of the biggest? Inflammation. They discuss how proper use can calm inflammation in ways food alone sometimes can't, and what happens to markers and symptoms when it does. They also dive into low dose naltrexone, when to pair it with GLP-1s, and how it supports autoimmunity without shutting down the immune system.For full show notes, please see: https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/glp-1s-microdosing-thyroid-inflammation-hashimotos-mccall-mcpherson/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

This episode of the Intelligent Medicine podcast is a deep dive into the complexities of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. Nicole Bell, the CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics and author of “What Lurks in the Woods,” details the challenges of diagnosing tick-borne diseases, the limitations of current diagnostic tests, and the controversy around treatment methodologies. Nicole shares her personal journey that led her to this field after her husband was misdiagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, which was later revealed to be caused by advanced Lyme disease. They also discuss new diagnostic techniques, the importance of personalized treatment plans, and ongoing advocacy efforts to improve awareness and research funding for Lyme disease.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Allison: As an IHP I have a question that has come up for a few clients. Although most people do great with 1-2 full droppers of liquid melatonin why can it cause nightmaresor vivid dreams for some?      Oliver: Hi Dr Cabral, can you tell me anything about Lichen Planus? My dad has it in his mouth, causing it to be very sensitive to temperature, acid and spice. My mum has it on her head causing hair loss. Do you know what the root cause is and if there is anything that can be done to help?                                                                                                                 Al: Dr. Cabral. I don't have any real health or weight issues and would like to support my body to stay that way. Once a year, I do AIP dietary protocol (just fish, poultry, broth, vegetables, low-glycemic fruits, olive & coconut oil) for a month, but no supplements. Could you please suggest annual supplements that are the most economical for a healthy male in early 40's. Could herbs like milk thistle, dandelion, NAC (for liver support), oregano, thyme, clove oils (for anti-bacterial/parasitic support) and maybe chlorella (for heavy metal detox) be taken together during that one month of AIP annually? Or would it be better to take some during AIP and others in a different time of a year? I eat and live clean during the whole year, but don't have funds for any labs. Please advise, thank you.                                                                                                                        Mike: Hello Dr.Cabral. I have tried your liver detox, parasite cleanse, CBO and then heavy metal detox. My health is pretty great by now and since I would like to keep it that way, I am considering annual maintenance protocols. Since I don't want to be on some sort of detox almost every other month (quarterly liver, parasite cleanse, heavy metal detox), can I combine them to make it simpler for me? Lets say spring one month liver support + heavy metals and autumn one month liver support + parasite cleanse? Would that work? Thank you.                                                                                                        Eleazar: Hello dr cabral i would like to know if everyone with autoimmune diseases need to avoid gluten permanently i have heard u say in people with celiac disease it does need to be avoided permanently and even in people with hashimoto because it acts as a perpetrator antigen could u explain what that means and if i need to avoid gluten forever regardless of what autoimmune disease i have or does it apply to only people with celiac or hashimoto thank you so much for everything u do.       Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3522 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

At the time, I noted this but didn't delve into it because I didn't think it applied to me. Well. . . you know how that goes. Now I have a very similar condition (it's called mixed connective tissue disease and is like a combo of lupus and RA). Of course, there's nothing, not even any hint, in any mainstream info about anything approaching a cure. Doing a Google search now ONLY shows mainstream stuff -- WebMD, Healthline, etc. Do you have any ideas where I can search in the Paleo-sphere for folks who have had success and what they did? I really cannot just keep adding on meds that only partially manage the pain I'm in. There must be a better way. Thanks.   Gut Testing Resource Tyler writes: Hey Robb and Nicki, I'm a long time listener, maybe not one of the original six but well back into the Paleo solution days and the Paleo solution was one of my first forrays into an ancestral way of eating and really changed my life for the better. Now onto my question: are you able to share the specific lab/testing you did that uncovered your candida/round worm/giardia this last go around? I listened to the most recent episode where y'all talked about it and you also mentioned there maybe being a stateside option as well? Asking mostly for my wife, who has had similar chronic gut issues, difficulty gaining weight, etc, and after I listened to the episode I asked her and turns out a lot of it started after she lived in China for a year, including a fair bit of time traveling through rural China. So now I'm pretty keen to the possibility of a chronic parasite of sorts. Thank you again for all y'all do, it's greatly appreciated and I think makes a big difference.   Could there be a fortuitous transfer of labor from driving to regenerative agriculture?  Paul writes: Good day Robb and Nicki, First, thank you for your years of effort in guiding and curating health information that is not so easily found in the mainstream. I am curious to hear your perspective on what the potential future of labor. With the development of self-driving cars, there are likely to be many folks who find themselves out of work in the not so distant future. Meanwhile there seems to be a growing demand for sustainably produced food. Correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that raising food in this manor tends to be more labor intensive. Do you see a future where labor from driving jobs could be moved into agriculture? A side effect would be a population shift out of city centres and into more rural areas. It seems that is could be a beneficial secondary result for individuals overall health and community engagement. I am curious what your thoughts are on this possibility and what could be done to reveal this possibility to the masses. Again, thank you for your work and example.   Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.

Autoimmune diseases are surging across America, yet conventional medicine rarely addresses the environmental triggers hiding in plain sight. The foods on your plate and the toxins in your daily environment represent two of the most significant—and controllable—factors in autoimmune development. This isn't about elimination diets—it's about understanding how environmental medicine intersects with autoimmune pathophysiology, and why your doctor likely hasn't mentioned the connection between your breakfast and your antibody levels.

For more info and support, visit us at https://thecirsgroup.com In this episode of The CIRS Group podcast, hosts Jacie and Barbara dive into the autoimmune condition known as Alopecia Areata. You may be familiar with it because of Jada Pinkett Smith (and the slap heard round the world) or more recently because of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Armani Latimer's brave story on the second season of the Netflix docuseries, America's Sweethearts. Today, we'll cover those stories and Barbara will share her journey with the condition as well. They'll also explore what Alopecia Areata is, as well as its triggers, symptoms, and the connection to Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). They also touch on treatment options, genetic predispositions, and related autoimmune conditions. Tune in to learn more about managing this rare condition and how it may relate to other health issues.

MORNING RALLY LAUNCH. Access the morning ritual with 50% OFF using CODE PODCAST: https://thisisdailydevotion.com/morning-rally-challenge This episode is for the ambitious, always-on, autoimmune girl who's quietly wondering why her body keeps waving the red flag through annoying or unexplainable symptoms. Today I'm joined by Integrative and Quantum Health Expert Sarah Murphy as we unpack the rise in autoimmunity among busy Type A women and connect the dots between stress chemistry, nonstop “busy-ness” (and business), early nervous system imprinting, fascia, hormones, histamine, blood sugar and facial hair too (lol) plus, why “pushing through” never helps heal. We discuss the real timeline of autoimmunity (starting before birth), how both parents imprint into this experience, and how early attachment patterns exacerbate it. From there, we explore blood sugar dysregulation, MCAS, histamine, PCOS, thyroid issues, and estrogen dominance, and why these common struggles compound the problem in women who really love to do it all (or who have gone through significant stress in their life). We break down why protocols often fail, the ‘good girl' script, the powerful connection between the thyroid and self-expression, and how to actually begin healing (hint: it starts with moving your body) and you'll hear why your body isn't attacking you - it's confused - and where to start with rebuilding energy systems, restoring minerals, supporting mitochondria, and more.

In this powerful episode of Witnesses, Ambassador Elisha sits down with Magic Barclay.   A functional health coach, trauma recovery expert, and cancer survivor, to unpack her incredible journey from stage four cancer to becoming a global voice in holistic healing.   Magic shares:   • How functional medicine transformed her life after divorce and chronic illness.   • The PNEI of trauma (psycho-neuro-endo-immunology) and why understanding it is key to healing.   • What autoimmune disorders really mean and how to support your immune system naturally.   • Practical ways to rebuild self-love after trauma or divorce.   • Steps to create a truly magical and healthful life.    

Send us a textThe world of invisible illness is a lonely place where "you look fine" becomes a painful refrain from well-meaning friends and family who can't see the war raging inside your body. For six years, I've navigated life with rheumatoid arthritis—an autoimmune disease where my body attacks my joints, causing inflammation, pain, and progressive damage from my fingers to my hips.This deeply personal episode peels back the curtain on what it's truly like living with chronic pain that others can't see. I share my diagnosis story, the countless medications and supplements that fill my daily routine, and how I've had to completely reimagine my identity. From the steroid shots that provide temporary relief to the heated blankets that have become my constant companions, I walk you through the practical realities of managing an autoimmune disease.But beyond the physical challenges lies a profound psychological journey. I've discovered what I call the "migraine hack"—how people readily show empathy for conditions they understand while dismissing autoimmune flares with a casual "can't you just suck it up?" I share the valuable Column A, B, C exercise from the Mayo Clinic that's helping me accept my new reality: Column A represents who I was before, Column C reflects my worst days, and Column B is the new identity I'm creating between those extremes.Whether you're battling an invisible illness yourself or love someone who is, this conversation offers both practical insights and emotional validation. For those suffering, you're not alone in this struggle. For those supporting someone with chronic illness, understanding is the greatest gift you can offer. Because when someone says they're in pain, believing them costs nothing—but dismissing their experience costs them everything. Thanks again for listening.

Did you know that by the time you reach midlife, your nervous system has been storing trauma responses for decades - even if you can't identify a single "traumatic" event? What if the chronic back pain, autoimmune issues, and stubborn weight gain plaguing so many midlife women aren't just random health problems, but your nervous system's way of expressing stored survival responses from years past? In this insightful conversation, Dr. Aimie Apigian reveals how seemingly normal childhood experiences - from crying yourself to sleep as a baby in the 1970s to being a latchkey kid - can create lasting biological changes that show up as health issues decades later through stored trauma in your nervous system. We dive into the science behind trauma, its long-term biological effects, and the importance of addressing trauma at different levels – mind, body, and biology and how accumulative, often unrecognized trauma can impact our health, aging, emotional regulation, and relationships.  Discover why your nervous system might still be stuck in survival mode, keeping you vulnerable to injuries, illnesses, and that constant underlying anxiety. Dr. Aimie explains the science behind why some people seem immune to health issues while others collect diagnoses, and most importantly, what nervous system healing can actually do about stored trauma.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Dr. Aimie Apigian:    Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/draimie   Website ➜  https://biologyoftrauma.com/  Thank you to our show sponsors!

The Surprising Truth About Cortisol and Autoimmune Health Cortisol gets blamed for everything from weight gain to fatigue to brain fog, but what if we've been thinking about it all wrong? In this episode of Autoimmune Simplified, Dr. Alison Danby reveals why cortisol isn't the enemy, and why the way it's often talked about online is missing the bigger picture. We'll dig into the myths, the surprising truth about testing, and what actually matters for autoimmune health. This is Part 2 of our 3-part Autoimmune Burnout Series, so if you've ever wondered whether your symptoms are due to “adrenal fatigue” or questioned if testing your cortisol is worth it, you don't want to miss this one.

In this second part of my conversation with Dr. Felice Gersh, we shift the focus to progesterone and what it really means for your health. You've probably heard that progesterone is only important if you have a uterus, or that it's just about preventing uterine cancer, but that's far from the whole story.You'll hear why oral progesterone, the most common form prescribed, may actually be doing more harm than good, how it creates unnaturally high levels of certain metabolites that can sedate the brain, and why this could even impact memory long-term. We also talk about safer and more effective ways to use progesterone that actually work with your body.And if you're in menopause, or even decades past it, you'll discover why cycling hormones still matters and how it can support your brain, bones, immune system, and thyroid health. This conversation will challenge so much of what you've been told and open the door to thinking about hormones in a whole new way.For full show notes, please see:  https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/connection-progesterone-estrogen-hashimotos-dr-felice-gersh-2/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Hashimoto's at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

On this episode of Healthy Waves Podcast, host Sana speaks with healer and guide Mridula Agarwal about how unprocessed emotions manifest as physical illness. From diabetes to thyroid disorders to persistent weight and autoimmune conditions, Mridula explains how emotional wounds—feelings of being unloved, shame, self-blame, or unworthiness—can shape our health in ways medicine often overlooks. Together, they unpack why quick fixes rarely address the root and how real healing begins with awareness, courage, and support. This conversation moves beyond symptoms, offering a framework for reclaiming inner balance and breaking the cycles of dis-ease. About the Guest  : Mridula Agarwal is a spiritual teacher and founder of the iReAwake Method, a healing approach that addresses emotional root causes of illness. She works with people across walks of life—from entrepreneurs to homemakers to children—helping them release long-held emotional pain and restore harmony in body and mind. Key Takeaways   Emotional patterns like neglect, shame, and feeling unloved can manifest as physical illness (diabetes, thyroid, autoimmune, persistent weight). Many carry weight as protection—against attention, harm, or insecurity—revealing that weight gain can serve unconscious emotional purposes. Autoimmune disorders often link to deep self-blame and inner attack through negative self-talk. Quick fixes may ease pain temporarily, but lasting healing requires addressing root emotions alongside medical treatment. Mental health struggles move in stages: unaddressed confusion → emotional chaos → withdrawal → breakdown. Recognizing thresholds early is key. Culture conditions us to bury emotions, but unprocessed pain seeps into the body, becoming chronic illness if ignored. Healing begins with seeking support, not carrying the burden alone; guidance, energy work, or spiritual practice can be first steps. Dis-ease is not punishment—it is a signal. Healing is not perfection but a gradual unfolding of mind, body, and spirit.   Connect with the Guest   You can connect with Mridula Agarwal through her healing sessions and resources: Book a call via links: https://ireawake.com/paid-appointment-call-2hr-usd-99/ https://ireawake.com/30-min-free-appointment/ Join her weekly Saturday Zoom healing session - https://ireawake.com/product/online-reiki-healing-session-every-saturday/ Access her free video resource for first-hand experience  Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

When people get hives or swelling, they often think it's caused by an allergy. But in the case of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), the culprit is often your own immune system. CSU isn't your typical allergic reaction, instead, it's frequently an autoimmune condition, where the immune system misfires and activates mast cells without any external trigger. In this episode, Dr. Payel Gupta and Kortney unpack what it means for CSU to be autoimmune and autoallergic. They explain how IgE and IgG antibodies can trigger histamine release, leading to hives and swelling. You'll also learn why allergy testing isn't useful for diagnosing CSU, and how tests like IgG food sensitivity panels can do more harm than good by leading to unnecessary food avoidance and confusion. What we cover in our episode about autoimmune CSU and chronic hives: Is CSU an allergy? Why CSU is often mistaken for an allergic reaction—and why standard allergy tests rarely provide helpful answers. How the immune system works in CSU: What mast cells are, how they release histamine, and their central role in chronic spontaneous urticaria. Understanding autoimmune CSU: Learn how the immune system can trigger hives from within, including the roles of IgE and IgG antibodies. Autoimmune hives explained: We explore how CSU can be autoimmune, why the immune system may attack itself, and what Type I and Type IIb autoimmune CSU really mean. ____ Made in partnership with The Allergy & Asthma Network.

When most people hear about GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide, they immediately think about diabetes or weight loss. In this video, I share a different perspective: the potential role of GLP-1 receptor agonists at microdoses in conditions where chronic inflammation is central to disease progression. We know that inflammation underlies many disorders — from autoimmune disease to neurodegenerative conditions. While there are currently no large-scale clinical studies on microdosing GLP-1s for these indications, there are intriguing reasons to consider their potential. GLP-1 medications have been shown to influence metabolic pathways, reduce systemic inflammation, and even demonstrate neuroprotective properties in some research settings. That's why I'm interested in whether carefully supervised, very low doses of these drugs might offer benefits in conditions such as: Autoimmune disease Chronic pain syndromes PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) Mood and mental health issues Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline Cardiovascular and heart disease I want to be clear: this is an area of clinical curiosity, not established science. We don't yet have the studies to guide us. But under the right medical supervision, there may be a safe way to explore whether microdosing could help patients who struggle with inflammation-driven diseases and have not found relief elsewhere. At Complete Midlife Wellness Center, my team and I welcome patients who are interested in innovative, science-informed approaches to health. If this conversation resonates with you, I'd be glad to explore whether GLP-1 microdosing might be an option for your unique situation.

In this episode, I'm opening up about my own journey with PCOS, multiple autoimmune conditions, and how functional testing—especially the DUTCH test—has changed everything for me and the women I work with. For years, I pushed through health challenges: PCOS, Hashimoto's, celiac, even mysterious skin flares from annuloma granulare. Add to that the exhaustion, thyroid struggles, ovarian cysts after childbirth, and the rollercoaster of perimenopause symptoms—and I know firsthand what it feels like when your body seems to betray you. Like so many women, I was raised in the “no pain, no gain” culture. I kept going, even when I was so weak I couldn't carry my baby in his car seat without stopping. Doctors gave me creams, steroids, and quick fixes, but nothing addressed the deeper issue: my body was desperately out of balance. That's when testing became my lifeline. Not just blood work, but the DUTCH test—a comprehensive hormone panel that shows exactly how your body is producing and processing hormones. With it, I learned how my cortisol, thyroid, estrogen, and progesterone were really functioning—and how to actually support them. Here's why this matters: Symptoms overlap. Fatigue, hair loss, weight gain, irregular cycles—it could be thyroid, adrenals, perimenopause, or PCOS. Without testing, it's guesswork. Numbers don't lie. The DUTCH test gives you black-and-white data that takes away the uncertainty. No one-size-fits-all fixes. The results guide a plan tailored to your unique body—nutrition, supplements, lifestyle, and sometimes simply rest. I see this with clients all the time. So many women wait, punishing themselves, thinking they just need to “try harder.” But the truth is—you don't need to push harder. You need the right information about your body so you can finally work with it instead of against it. If you've ever wondered, Am I in perimenopause? Is this my thyroid? Do I have PCOS flares?, the DUTCH test is the place to start. It gives us the roadmap, so you stop guessing and start healing. Don't wait years like I did. Don't wait until you're completely burned out. Get answers now: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/

On this episode of Vitality Radio, we continue our deep dive into systemic enzymes, building on the foundation laid in episodes #530 & 566. This time, the focus is on practical protocols that combine Fibrenza with key companions and targeted nutrient support for cardiovascular health, immune resilience, and recovery. You'll learn how systemic enzymes modulate the immune system for conditions like autoimmune disease and fibromyalgia, why pairing them with other supportive supplements can retrain immune balance and strengthen the gut lining at the root. Jared also shares cardiovascular strategies post-COVID — using Fibrenza with supplements that support nitric oxide, vessel flexibility, and inflammation balance. Finally, the discussion turns to exercise recovery, with protocols designed to accelerate healing, reduce soreness, and protect tendons and ligaments.
