Podcasts about Autoimmune disease

When we think of autoimmune disease, we often hear the same story: the body is attacking itself. But what if that view is incomplete? What if autoimmune patterns are not self-attack, but an intelligent protective response of a nervous system shaped by trauma, chronic stress, and relational wounding? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we're joined by Anna Gieselman, neuro-somatic practitioner and founder of Beyond Functional. Anna sits down with Elisabeth and Jennifer for a powerful, eye-opening conversation about how trauma, attachment wounds, toxic shame, and boundary violations condition the immune system and shape autoimmune responses, and why nervous system-first healing is essential for lasting change. Together, we explore how relational trauma and suppressed emotions fuel chronic inflammation, why boundaries are critical for immune health, and how shame responses become embodied drivers of disease. Anna also shares her personal journey of healing from lupus, and how nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and boundary repair changed her relationship with her body and her health. This episode is not about blaming yourself for illness or fighting your body. It's about honoring your body's wisdom, understanding the survival intelligence beneath autoimmune patterns, and building the capacity to heal from the inside out. If you've struggled with chronic illness, emotional repression, toxic shame, or boundary repair, this conversation offers a compassionate, grounded lens to understand your experience — and new tools for healing. Topics discussed in this episode: ● Why autoimmune is not self-attack ● How trauma and attachment wounds drive immune dysregulation ● The role of chronic stress in autoimmune flare-ups ● Boundaries, self-abandonment, and immune dysfunction ● How shame fuels inflammation and disease ● Emotional repression and autoimmune patterns ● How to support immune healing through nervous system work ● Why emotional expression reduces inflammation ● The role of nervous system regulation in long-term autoimmune healing ● Honoring your body's intelligence and protective responses   Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching program: https://www.neurosomatic.com/leadership Learn more about Anna Gieselman's work: Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/beyond_functional Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the fall cohort now: https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

In this solo episode, I'm opening up about what life looks like after receiving an autoimmune diagnosis. Whether you've just been diagnosed or have been living with chronic illness for years, this conversation is for you.

I'll also share practical strategies that helped me shift from survival mode to truly thriving, including: ✨ Redefining your identity beyond your diagnosis ✨ Setting boundaries and learning to say no without guilt ✨ Embracing holistic wellness practices that actually help ✨ Finding community and support when you feel alone Your diagnosis doesn't define you—it's just one chapter in your story.

Imagine a future where you don't have to eat gluten again just to get a diagnosis. That future might be closer than we think.I'm sharing all the latest on the new IL-2 blood test being developed, what it means for people who've already gone gluten free, and why it matters so much. Plus, I open up about my own experience with diagnosis (and my kids' testing journey too), and the frustrating realities many of us face just trying to be heard. This episode is packed—so if you've ever struggled with getting answers, you won't want to miss this one.

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 184 In this episode of A Gluten Free Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Andrew Williams, Principal Scientist at Westmead Children's Hospital in Sydney, Australia. Dr. Williams has spent decades researching coeliac disease and the complex immunological processes behind it. We explore how coeliac disease research has evolved, what still needs to change, and how early diagnosis in children could significantly improve health outcomes across Australia and globally.We dive into the inspiration behind Dr. Williams' career in immunological research, his earliest experiences working with children diagnosed with coeliac disease, and what initially drew his attention to this autoimmune condition. With so many people still undiagnosed, we talk about how Australia compares to other countries like Italy, where screening children for coeliac disease and Type 1 diabetes is already underway.We also discuss promising innovations like the Novoleukin blood test—a tool being developed to detect coeliac disease even in people who are already on a gluten-free diet. This episode offers a hopeful and practical look into how coeliac disease awareness, testing methods, and healthcare systems could shift for the better—if we focus our efforts in the right places.What We Cover:How Dr. Andrew Williams became involved in coeliac disease researchWhat we knew (and didn't know) about coeliac disease when he began his careerMajor milestones in coeliac disease research over the past few decadesReal-life stories from the clinic that shaped his perspectiveThe critical need for early diagnosis in children with coeliac diseaseWhy so many Australians remain undiagnosed and what needs to changeHow other countries like Italy are taking proactive steps to improve coeliac screeningThe future of coeliac disease testing, including the upcoming Novoleukin diagnostic toolWhat parents of children with coeliac disease need to knowHow one powerful conversation reminded him why this work matters

In this powerful episode of Keeping Abreast with Dr. Jenn, I'm joined by visionary functional medicine practitioner and thought leader, Teri Cochrane, for a deep and eye-opening conversation about bio-individuality—the truth that there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to health.Teri shares her compelling personal journey that led her to create her unique approach to wellness, centered on genetics, pathogens, nutrition, and energy. Together, we explore the critical role of personalized medicine, especially in the wake of COVID-19 and the rising incidence of aggressive cancers in younger populations.We uncover the often-overlooked influence of pathogens, environmental shifts, and the evolving food supply on our biochemistry. Teri introduces us to the concept of epigenetic analysis and how understanding our individual genetic makeup can guide us in making precise, healing dietary and lifestyle choices.Whether you are navigating cancer, autoimmune illness, or simply trying to make sense of your body's signals, this conversation is filled with insight, validation, and empowerment.In This Episode, You Will Learn:Bio-individuality is the cornerstone of true health—what works for one may harm another.Conventional dietary guidelines often fail cancer patients.Pathogens, both viral and parasitic, play a significant role in chronic disease and cancer.COVID-19 has had a profound impact on our biochemical balance.Functional medicine and epigenetic testing provide a more complete picture of your health.Stress responses directly impact immune function and must be managed to heal.Understanding genetic variants can help tailor your nutrition for optimal wellness.Even foods labeled “healthy” may not be healthy for you.There is immense power in listening to your body's cues and honoring your unique needs.If you've ever felt like you're doing “all the right things” but still not feeling well, this episode may hold the answers you've been searching for. 

Discover how movement can be one of the most powerful tools for healing your body and transforming your life.

Dr. Sina McCullough possessed every credential that should have saved her—PhD in nutrition, functional medicine training, master herbalist certification. Instead, she was dying. Too weak to hold a cup. Watching her children from the floor because she couldn't stand. When twenty specialists across two decades dismissed her suffering as "all in your head," this elite-trained scientist made a desperate plea that shattered everything. What happened next defies every principle of conventional healing.Today, Dr. McCullough is a disease reversal expert, author of Hands Off My Food and Beyond Labels, co-host of the Beyond Labels Podcast, creator of the Go Wild healing program, and health columnist for the Epoch Times. But her most earth-shattering discovery came in her darkest hour—when death seemed certain and medicine had abandoned her.Website: https://www.drsinamccullough.com/Epoch Times Column: https://www.theepochtimes.com/expert/sina-mcculloughBeyond Labels Podcast: https://beyondlabels.supportingcast.fm/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beyondlabelspodFollow on X: http://www.x.com/beyondlabelspodFollow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beyondlabelspodcast/Chapters00:00 The Mainstream Narrative on Health and Healing02:50 Dr. Sina McCullough's Health Journey05:54 The Search for Answers in Western Medicine09:11 Hitting Rock Bottom and Finding Hope12:04 The Role of Functional Medicine in Healing14:53 The Emotional Component of Disease17:46 Reintegration of Foods and Seasonal Eating20:51 Shortcomings of Functional Medicine24:13The Importance of Emotional Intelligence26:54 The Biofield and Its Role in Healing30:03 The Power of Forgiveness in Healing40:37 Healing Through Emotional Release42:17 Synchronicities and Divine Guidance44:44 The Roadmap to Healing46:43 The Role of Science in Healing48:05 The Power of Light and Energy51:41 Forgiveness as a Path to Freedom56:20 The Science of Light in Healing01:10:37 Coherent Light and Nutrition01:17:47 The Power of Consciousness and Healing01:21:14 Mind Over Matter: The Role of Intention01:24:58 Cultivating Gratitude and Openness01:30:22 Connecting with Divine Messages01:36:31 The Impact of Emotional Healing01:40:47 Releasing Labels and Embracing Balance Dr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

Pressures of life on Earth experienced by our ancestors – as multicellular beings, as hosts to parasites, and as home to microbes – shaped the evolved structure and function of our immune systems.  Some of the traits favored by natural selection have conferred resistance against infections while opening vulnerabilities to autoimmune diseases.  I will illustrate why analysis of the deep-time origins of mammalian immune systems reveals general principles of optimal defense and helps to explain why hosts are so profoundly variable in their susceptibility to infectious and inflammatory diseases.

Mycotoxins (mold toxins) are frequently overlooked causes of numerous chronic health conditions including autoimmune disorders, neurological diseases, and heart problems, and proper testing and treatment can lead to remarkable recovery for patients who have suffered for years with no answers.KISMETThe World Health Organization refers to mycotoxins as "the great masquerader of this century" because they mimic so many other diseases, leading doctors to frequently misdiagnose patients and treat symptoms rather than addressing the root cause.EPISODE SUMMARYIn this episode, Dr. Philip Ovadia interviews Dr. Andrew Campbell, a physician with extensive experience treating medical consequences of mold and environmental toxins. Dr. Campbell explains how mycotoxins (mold toxins) are frequently overlooked causes of numerous chronic health conditions. These microscopic toxins can enter the bloodstream through the lungs, cross the blood-brain barrier, and cause widespread inflammation and cell death. Mycotoxins have been linked to autoimmune diseases, neurological conditions like MS and Alzheimer's, heart rhythm problems, chronic fatigue, and even certain cancers. The main idea is that many patients suffering with chronic conditions may actually be dealing with mold toxicity. Dr. Campbell outlines his four-step approach to treatment: removing the source of mold, using antifungal medication, taking specific supplements, and following an anti-inflammatory diet. Dramatic before-and-after photos demonstrate remarkable patient recoveries from conditions like psoriasis and skin cancer after proper mycotoxin treatment.NOTABLE QUOTE"Identify the cause.

What happens when life throws you a curveball that changes everything? Kelly Buchan, a creative Australian mum in her late forties, discovered the answer when rheumatoid arthritis entered her world. In this raw and powerful conversation, Kelly shares how she's learning to navigate chronic autoimmune disease while building a 3D rendering business, parenting a teenager, and maintaining a 30-year relationship. From a traumatic childhood to finding love and stability, then facing the uncertainty of chronic illness, Kelly's story reveals the incredible resilience that lives within us all. At the same time, it reminds us how adversity can become the catalyst for living more authentically than ever before.Key takeawaysAdvocate Fiercely for Your HealthWhen Kelly's symptoms weren't showing up in standard blood tests, she could have accepted "you're fine" as an answer. Instead, she persisted until finding doctors who recognised seronegative rheumatoid arthritis. Don't let anyone dismiss your pain or symptoms. Keep asking questions, seek second opinions, and trust your instincts about your own body.Chronic Illness Requires Creative Adaptation, Not SurrenderKelly's journey shows that having a chronic condition doesn't mean giving up on life—it means redesigning it. She found creative outlets through social media and 3D rendering when physical activities became challenging. The key is identifying what brings you joy and purpose, then finding new ways to access those feelings.Build Your Medical Dream Team Before You Need ThemHaving supportive healthcare providers made all the difference in Kelly's diagnosis and treatment journey. Don't wait until the crisis hits. Cultivate relationships with doctors who listen, specialists who think outside the box, and therapists who understand your whole story.Master the Art of Selective SharingWhile support groups can provide a valuable connection, Kelly learned to be selective about which advice to take and how much negativity to absorb. Engage with communities that lift you up, but maintain boundaries around your mental health and optimism.Plan for Life's Curveballs Without Living in FearKelly's practical approach includes having financial safety nets like critical illness insurance and building flexibility into career choices. It's not about expecting the worst—it's about creating security that allows you to face uncertainty with confidence.Moving forwardKelly's story reminds us that strength isn't about avoiding struggle—it's about how we respond when life changes the rules. Whether you're facing health challenges, supporting someone who is, or simply recognising that none of us are immune to life's unexpected turns, Kelly's message is clear: you are stronger than you think you are.Ready to connect?

Your bloodwork looks normal. Your doctor says you're fine. But you still feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious—or worse. In this episode, Dave Asprey talks with Dr. Daniel Pompa, a leading voice in cellular detox and root-cause healing, to expose the hidden stressors hijacking your energy, hormones, and metabolism—even when your labs say you're healthy. Dr. Pompa shares his personal health collapse and reveals how cellular dysfunction, neurotoxicity, and hormone resistance drive the chronic fatigue epidemic. If you've ever felt dismissed by “perfect” bloodwork, this conversation will rewire how you think about sickness—and show you how to reclaim real, lasting wellness. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • Why your bloodwork can be “perfect” while your cells are on fire • The overlooked hormone resistances sabotaging your energy and metabolism • The 3-legged stool of chronic illness—and what actually drives disease • What “upstream detox” really means, and why most cleanses make you worse • Why toxins trigger genetic expression (and how to shut that down) • How to fix unexplainable fatigue, anxiety, and weight gain from the inside out • Why true healing starts with fixing the cell, not the symptom It's time to stop chasing symptoms—and start upgrading from the root. **Check out Dr. Pompas EXCLUSIVE protocol built for The Human Upgrade listeners at davetestkit.com and use code ‘10OFF' for a discount!** SPONSORS -Zbiotics | Go to https://zbiotics.com/DAVE for 15% off your first order. -Our Place | Head to https://fromourplace.com/ and use the code DAVE for 10% off your order.
