Episode #213 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: Can you compare T1D, T2D, LADA, and MODY? [01:52] What are the best fasting protocols and diet for autoimmune conditions? [11:40] Is it possible to be successful if you eat mostly vegan/vegetarian, as I worry about the higher carbs with this type of eating? [13:44] Does each hour you fast have added benefits?

So many women face health challenges they don't fully understand—symptoms they've come to accept as just part of life, assuming they're normal. But when these issues are ignored, they quietly take a toll. Breaking free from this cycle starts with realizing that feeling unwell doesn't have to be your norm, and that there's always more to learn about your body and health. It's not about looking for a quick fix; it's about taking control and being proactive about your wellness.Kelli Musa, a wellness coach specializing in autoimmune conditions and menopause, understands this firsthand. After surviving an autoimmune disease, Kelli became passionate about helping women understand their bodies, primarily through the lens of autoimmune disease and menopause. She shares her recovery journey, explaining how embracing science and functional medicine helped her transform her life. She highlights the importance of self-awareness and finding the proper support to navigate health challenges. Her story is one of empowerment, healing, and proactive care.Quotes:“It's not right to feel poorly, it's not right to not have energy, it's not right to not have libido.” – Kelli Musa“You can put lupus. You can put any of these diseases into remission.” – Kelli Musa“When you get to the root cause of something, and you rebuild the system, you can actually bounce back.” – Kelli MusaTakeaways:Listen to your body. If something feels off, investigate it—don't just assume it's normal.Seek the proper support. Avoid generic advice—find professionals who listen and help you understand your health.Take control of your health journey. Knowledge about conditions like autoimmune diseases and menopause empowers you to make informed decisions.Challenge the norm. While healthcare often focuses on quick fixes, true healing comes from addressing the root causes and being proactive.Prioritize self-awareness. Truly understanding how your body works is the first step toward lasting wellness.Conclusion: Kelli's journey is a powerful reminder that wellness goes beyond just managing symptoms. By taking the time to understand your body and your health, you can make lasting, meaningful changes. Approaches like peptides, functional medicine, and a holistic perspective on health can help rebuild and strengthen your body, but it all starts with being knowledgeable and proactive. When you're in tune with your body, you can take charge of your wellness better.

Josie from the United States shared her experience of using LDN for Crohn's disease, asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis. She began using LDN after struggling with Crohn's disease for several years and undergoing multiple surgeries, as traditional medications were not effective in the long term. After researching alternative treatments, she found a specific carbohydrate diet and LDN. Surprisingly, LDN not only alleviated her Crohn's symptoms but also reduced joint pain and respiratory distress from asthma. She started taking LDN in 2007 and initially experienced euphoria and deep sleep as side effects. Before using LDN, Josie suffered from gastrointestinal pain, cramping, diarrhea, fatigue, and frequent secondary infections. She adopted a specific carbohydrate diet, which involved eliminating sugars and starches, and found it to be effective in conjunction with LDN. Although she still experiences some Crohn's symptoms, they are largely under control with the modified diet and LDN. Josie can now eat a wider variety of foods, although she still needs to be cautious with certain grains and sugars.For information on LDN, go to https://linktr.ee/ldnrtOur webinars and training courses can be purchased from https://www.ldnrtevents.com/collections/webinars-and-training-coursesWe have a list of LDN Q&As on our website https://ldnresearchtrust.org/questions-and-answersVisit our website, which is packed with information on Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for Autoimmune Conditions, Cancers, Chronic Pain, Women's Health and more.https://www.ldnresearchtrust.orgWe have a very active FB Closed Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/LDNRT/

I'd like to share the story of our guest, Mark from Australia, who will be talking to us about chronic pain and LDN. Mark's pain journey began about 10 years ago after a snowboarding accident which led to slipped discs. Over the past 2 and a half years, he has undergone multiple treatments including heavy medications and surgeries. However, about 6 months ago, he was introduced to LDN which has significantly improved his quality of life. Before LDN, Mark's pain levels were consistently high, impacting his daily activities and sleep. Now, thanks to LDN, his pain levels have decreased, and he's able to carry out everyday tasks without as much discomfort.

Tendinopathy can arise from various factors, including metabolic and autoimmune conditions. Pain mechanisms are complex and should be viewed in a biopsychosocial context. Subgrouping in tendinopathy can provide insights but should not overshadow individual treatment. Aging can increase sensitivity to tendon injuries due to metabolic changes. Metabolic syndrome is linked to poorer tendon health and healing. Fluoroquinolones are associated with increased risk of tendon rupture. Lateral hip tendinopathy often coexists with other musculoskeletal pain conditions. Understanding the patient's story is crucial for effective treatment. Tendon health is influenced by overall systemic health and lifestyle factors. Autoimmune conditions can significantly influence tendinopathy. Screening for inflammatory factors is crucial in assessment. Understanding the patient's story is key to diagnosis. Lifestyle factors should be addressed in treatment plans. There is a need for more research on non-athletic populations. The average delay in diagnosis for autoimmune conditions is significant. Medications can have varying effects on tendon health. Comprehensive assessment can improve treatment outcomes. Clinicians should routinely ask about lifestyle factors. Common sense and flexibility in treatment approaches are essential.   Derek on Twitter: https://x.com/DerekGriffin86 Derek on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/derek_griffin_phd/ Notes: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-134-tendons-with-derek-griffin/

In this episode of the Bendy Bodies Podcast, Dr. Linda Bluestein welcomes Dr. Kara Wada, an allergy and immunology expert, to explore Sjogren's disease and its connection to hypermobility, dysautonomia, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). They discuss why Sjogren's is one of the most underdiagnosed autoimmune conditions, its symptoms beyond dryness, and how it intertwines with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes). Dr. Wada also dives into Sjogren's diagnostic challenges, emerging treatments, nutrition strategies, and the role of inflammation in fatigue and pain. Whether you're navigating autoimmune symptoms or looking for practical tools to manage them, this episode is filled with expert insights and actionable advice. Takeaways: Sjogren's is Massively Underdiagnosed – Up to 75% of people with Sjogren's remain undiagnosed, in part because its symptoms extend far beyond dryness and don't always present in a textbook way. Autoimmune Conditions & EDS Are Connected – Sjogren's, POTS, and MCAS frequently overlap due to their shared impact on the immune and nervous systems, making diagnosis and treatment complex. Dryness is Just the Beginning – Sjogren's can cause neuropathy, fatigue, dysautonomia, gastrointestinal issues, and even a higher risk of lymphoma, making it more than just an inconvenience. Current Treatments Are Limited but Improving – There are no FDA-approved medications specifically for Sjogren's, but promising treatments are currently in phase 3 trials, offering hope for better management Nutrition & Lifestyle Matter – Avoiding ultra-processed foods, prioritizing hydration, and incorporating anti-inflammatory nutrients can help manage symptoms and support immune function.

Send us a textDr. Brandon Crawford and Dr. Eric Ozansky discuss thyroid health, focusing on hyperthyroidism and Graves' disease. They stress the need for thorough testing and a holistic treatment approach that includes diet, stress management, and iodine supplementation. They also explore the links between thyroid health, halides, brain health, weight gain in hyperthyroid patients, and the effects of light exposure, providing tips for improving thyroid health.What You'll LearnThyroid disorders affect 12% of the U.S. population, with hyperthyroidism and Graves' disease often overlooked compared to hypothyroidism.Comprehensive testing is crucial for accurate diagnosis, as many patients may have both Graves' and Hashimoto's antibodies.Diet, lifestyle changes, and stress management play a significant role in maintaining thyroid health and managing autoimmune conditions.Iodine supplementation is controversial and should be approached with caution, especially in individuals with thyroid disorders.Thyroid hormones significantly influence brain health, mental well-being, and even contribute to unexpected issues like weight gain in hyperthyroid patients.Light exposure and gut health are critical factors that regulate thyroid function, emphasizing the importance of a holistic, functional medicine approach.ResourcesTests MentionedHAKALA labs testing (for halides testing)GI Map TestingDutch Test (for hormones and cortisol)Urinary iodine testingThyroid antibody testing (TSI, TPO, TG)Referenced Books/Authors“Natural Treatment Solutions for Hyperthyroidism and Graves' Disease” (now in its third edition, 2023)“Hashimoto's Triggers” (2018)“The Hyperthyroid Healing Diet” (2024)Dr. David Brownstein's book “Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It”Dr. Alan Christensen's “The Thyroid Reset Diet”Products 528 Innovations Lasers NeuroSolution Full Spectrum CBD NeuroSolution Broad Spectrum CBD NeuroSolution StimPod Learn MoreFor more information, resources, and podcast episodes, visit https://tinyurl.com/3ppwdfpm

When children hear disrespectful language directed at them, they unconsciously believe they are not worthy of being respected. Plus, they develop a belief that its okay to treat others that way, and to accept mistreatment, which has awful consequences later in life. Often I hear what my patients tell me their parents told them, and that their parents were upset when the patient was simply mirroring back similar language. It's a recipe for disease and dysfunction. Let me help you with this.

Often I'll ask patients, "Do you believe you can get better?" This simple question, and subsequent answer, tells me so much about how they perceive their condition. This is more than "positive thinking." Instead, I'm referring to a central core belief about what's possible for them. Without belief, the mind-body connection feeds off the anxiety. So we have to learn how to reframe anxiety and stress so that we can believe healing is possible. In this episode, I explain the term "eustress," which is useful form of stress and how it can increase our belief in healing from GI and autoimmune conditions.

An autoimmune disease is a condition in which the immune system attacks its own tissues. It is typically characterized by low regulatory T-cells and high Th17 and Th2 cells. T-reg cells prevent autoimmune diseases by supporting an appropriate immune response. There are natural ways to support your immune system so that it operates at an optimal level. Poor gut health and gut inflammation can block the function of vitamin D3. Without enough vitamin D, T-reg cells do not work properly. The majority of the population is vitamin D-resistant. To support the immune system, you need 8,000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily, but even more to overcome resistance. Poor gut health, inflammation, and low vitamin D are a perfect storm for developing an autoimmune condition. B. infantis and L. reuteri are vital for your immune system, but many people don't have them because these probiotics are very sensitive to antibiotics. These two important microbes help prevent autoimmune diseases, greatly affect T-reg cells, and suppress inflammatory immune cells. L. reuteri helps increase oxytocin, one of the most potent anti-stress hormones. High cortisol levels mean high stress, which suppresses the immune system. The best way to consume l. reuteri is to cultivate it in a dairy product. If you're low in selenium, you will have higher amounts of inflammatory immune cells. Selenium helps lower Th17, Th2 cells, and auto-antibodies involved in autoimmune disorders. Prolonged fasting can improve your immune system by increasing T-reg cells and creating new stem cells.

This episode is brought to you by Thesis, Cozy Earth, and Lumebox.   We don't always consider that chronic disease and overall health can start with oral health, but biological dentists know that optimal health and gut health begins in the mouth. Root canals are a controversial topic because, while they are often necessary, they can become a source of bacterial buildup, potentially leading to chronic infection. Today's guest is here to share his expertise as a biological dentist and guide anyone who has undergone or will undergo dental procedures, including root canals, toward optimal long-term health. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with biological dentist Dr. Dominik Nischwitz to discuss the link between root canals, chronic inflammation, and chronic disease. Dr. Dome explains how and why root canals and tooth extractions can create spaces for bacteria to accumulate and highlight uncommon symptoms that may indicate an infection. He also distinguishes between biological and traditional dentists, shedding light on the knowledge gap hindering a holistic approach. Additionally, Dr. Dome and Dhru discuss why gut health begins in the mouth and offer steps to prevent bacterial buildup during dental procedures. Dr. Dominik Nischwitz is the world's leading biological dentist and one of the first ceramic implant specialists. He is the vice president of the International Society for Metal-Free Implantology. Dr. Dome is an international speaker and author with the goal of establishing bio dentistry 3.0 as the new standard for health optimization protocols for all health practitioners and dentists alike using the term "optimal health starts in your mouth." Dr. Dome trains traditional dentists in proper biological dentistry practices and believes optimal health starts in the mouth.
