Podcasts about Autoimmune disease

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we explore a series of groundbreaking advancements and strategic collaborations that promise to transform drug development and patient care.In the autoimmune space, Boehringer Ingelheim has made a significant move by securing a $570 million agreement with CDR-Life. This deal centers on a trispecific antibody, a novel therapeutic approach that targets multiple pathways simultaneously, potentially revolutionizing treatments for autoimmune diseases. Boehringer's commitment to these cutting-edge modalities highlights their strategy to leverage novel technologies for more effective therapeutic solutions.Similarly, Celltrion has entered a $744 million collaboration with Kaigene, focusing on two preclinical autoimmune drugs. This partnership marks Celltrion's strategic shift from biosimilars to novel biologics, positioning the company at the forefront of biologic therapeutics. By investing in early-stage research, Celltrion aims to introduce transformative therapies for autoimmune conditions, showcasing the industry's willingness to bet on groundbreaking scientific advancements.In gene editing, Azalea Therapeutics is gaining attention with its focus on permanent genome editing using a dual-vector approach. Backed by $82 million in funding and support from CRISPR pioneer Jennifer Doudna, Azalea is poised to develop potentially curative solutions through single-dose treatments. The credibility lent by a Nobel laureate adds anticipation to their research outcomes, with the potential to significantly impact gene therapy.Shifting focus to clinical trials, Sarepta Therapeutics faces challenges after missing the primary endpoint in its confirmatory trial for Duchenne muscular dystrophy drugs. Despite this setback, Sarepta is pursuing full FDA approval, emphasizing the complex interplay between clinical data and regulatory strategies. This situation underscores the critical importance of robust confirmatory trials in securing drug approvals and ensuring patient access to new therapies.Merck is making strategic moves in oncology by regaining full control over an early-phase asset and securing $700 million from Blackstone for its oncology pipeline. This dual focus on asset acquisition and financial fortification reflects Merck's aggressive growth strategy aimed at expanding its cancer treatment offerings.Emerging from stealth mode, Neok Bio has secured a $75 million investment to advance bispecific antibody-drug conjugates into clinical trials. These bispecific ADCs represent the forefront of targeted cancer therapies, aiming for precision targeting of cancer cells while minimizing off-target effects. Neok Bio's progress could significantly enhance oncology treatment paradigms through improved therapeutic indices.Turning to regulatory landscapes, Teva's recall of over half-a-million bottles of prazosin hydrochloride due to potential carcinogenic impurities highlights ongoing challenges in ensuring drug safety and quality control within manufacturing processes. Such recalls underscore the critical importance of maintaining high standards in pharmaceutical production.In broader industry developments, we see dynamic trends where scientific innovation meets strategic business decisions and regulatory considerations. The potential impact on patient care is profound, with breakthroughs in autoimmune treatments, gene editing technologies, and targeted cancer therapies poised to alter therapeutic landscapes significantly.UCB has achieved another milestone with FDA approval for Kygevvi, an ultra-rare disease medication marking their third approval in rare conditions within three years. This success underscores UCB's strategic focus on niche markets that offer less competition but significant patient impact. Advancements in genetic research aSupport the show

In this deeply vulnerable episode of Heal With Kat, Kat invites trauma specialist and EMDR therapist Jenny Gennaro into an honest, soul-level conversation about the healing power of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma integration, and the reclamation of the body after years of spiritual and emotional disconnection.Kat shares her personal journey of returning to her body after years of living in survival mode, exploring how childhood emotional neglect, abandonment wounds, and sexual trauma shaped her intuitive abilities and coping mechanisms. Together, she and Jenny unpack how trauma fragments the nervous system — and how healing can bring us home to our true, embodied selves.Themes:What EMDR actually is — and how it helps rewire the brain to release the emotional charge of traumatic memoriesHow childhood emotional neglect and attachment wounds can create disconnection from the body and fuel hypervigilance mistaken for intuitionWhy many intuitives and empaths develop their “gifts” as tools of survival, and how to evolve them into tools of serviceThe connection between trauma, autoimmune conditions, and chronic body symptomsKat's personal EMDR journey — including what resurfaced, how she processed it, and the profound identity shift that followedHow psilocybin (mushrooms) can be used intentionally and safely within a therapeutic EMDR container to lower defenses and deepen emotional accessThe difference between complex trauma and single-event trauma, and why integration can feel like an identity crisisWhat it means to re-stitch your head back to your body and reclaim the right to feel safe, grounded, and presentHow reclaiming your nervous system is a radical act of social justice and spiritual resistanceConnect with Kat:

My guest is Dr. David Fajgenbaum, MD, professor of translational medicine and human genetics at the University of Pennsylvania. He explains how, unbeknownst to most doctors, many approved medications can successfully treat or even cure diseases other than the ones they are typically used to treat. He shares his story of escaping death from Castleman's disease by discovering a life-saving treatment using repurposed drugs that were approved for other purposes. Our conversation explores how researchers, physicians, and you—the general public—can explore novel treatments and cures to conditions the medical profession has deemed untreatable, including cancers. We also discuss the crucial role of mindset in battling diseases and the lesser-known use of compounds to promote health and longevity. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Cannabis has come a long way since we last covered it in 2020. With more patients using CBD and medical cannabis to help manage chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, and sleep issues, it is time for an important update. In this episode, AiArthritis Health Education Manager Leila P. L. Valete is joined by co-hosts and patient advocates Eileen Davidson and Bridget Seritt for a real conversation about what has changed, what we still need to learn, and what patients should know before trying cannabis for autoimmune and autoinflammatory arthritis. The hosts explore how research, attitudes, and medical discussions around cannabis have evolved. They share their own experiences using CBD and cannabis, discuss new findings from rheumatology research, and highlight the ongoing need for better access, safety education, and provider awareness. The conversation also looks at how stigma is shifting as more patients and clinicians see cannabis as a legitimate part of symptom management rather than a last resort. Whether you're new to the topic or already using cannabis as part of your treatment, this episode offers clear guidance, personal insight, and a thoughtful look at its role in patient care.   Episode Highlights: How conversations around cannabis and CBD have evolved since 2020 What new research says about its role in managing pain, sleep, and mental health Patient experiences using cannabis alongside traditional treatments Benefits, risks, and the ongoing debate around medical versus self-directed use How access, education, and stigma continue to shape patient choices   Links & Resources Go With Us! to EULAR 2025: Should Doctors Prescribe Cannabis for Autoimmune Disease?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw-KJWbKpuo Have questions about this episode or topics you want to hear us bring to the table?

What if your Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) wasn't just about your ovaries but about your immune system turning against them? Most women with POI are told it's simply early menopause. The conversation stops at hormone replacement or donor eggs. But new research shows that for many women, POI has autoimmune roots. When that's the case, treatment, prognosis, and even pregnancy potential all look very different. In this episode, we explore how the immune system can drive POI, the red flags most doctors miss, and which labs uncover what's really happening inside your body. You'll also hear how a functional fertility approach can calm immune dysfunction and support natural ovarian activity. You'll learn: The latest evidence connecting autoimmunity and Premature Ovarian Insufficiency Red flags that suggest POI may be immune-driven rather than purely ovarian The key labs to request for thyroid, gut, and immune system assessment Why conventional HRT isn't enough and how bioidentical hormones fit in Functional fertility strategies that support hormone balance and ovarian function Sarah Clark is the founder of Fab Fertile Inc. and the host of Get Pregnant Naturally. Her team specializes in functional approaches for low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency, recurrent miscarriage and helping couples prepare their bodies for pregnancy success naturally or with IVF. This episode is for you if: You've been diagnosed with POI, low AMH, or high FSH and want to understand what's driving it You or your family have autoimmune conditions like thyroid disease, celiac, type 1 diabetes, or lupus You've had irregular cycles, miscarriages, or failed IVF transfers, and feel like something deeper is being missed Not sure where to start?

Dr. Edens debunks common misconceptions, such as vaccines causing autoimmune diseases or always triggering flares. She explains that while mild immune responses are normal, serious complications are extremely rare and the benefits far outweigh the risks. Dr Edens emphasizes that vaccines not only prevent infections but also certain cancers, making them an essential part of care for immunosuppressed patients. The discussion also explores vaccine timing with medications, the dangers of misinformation, and how to talk about vaccine hesitancy with empathy and evidence.Episode at a glance:Guest Expert: Dr. Cuoghi Edens, dual-trained adult and pediatric rheumatologist at the University of Chicago.Myth #1: “Natural is better than vaccines” — Debunked; vaccines dramatically reduce child and adult mortality from infectious diseases.Myth #2: “Vaccines cause autoimmune diseases” — Overwhelming evidence shows they do not.Myth #3: “Vaccines always cause flare-ups” — Possible but uncommon; most patients tolerate vaccines well, and disease prevention outweighs brief discomfort.Risk–Benefit Balance: Vaccines protect against infections and cancers (HPV, hepatitis B) that can worsen or complicate autoimmune diseases.Timing & Medications: ACR guidelines suggest coordination with treatments like rituximab and high-dose steroids, but partial protection is better than none.Health Literacy Tip: “Doing research” means reviewing credible scientific evidence—not social-media opinions or cherry-picked studies.Social Stigma: Addresses misinformation, polarization, and “anti-vax” rhetoric, highlighting the need for compassion and critical thinking.Trusted Resources: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia vaccine education site and American College of Rheumatology guidelines.Key Takeaway: Vaccines are safe, vital, and empowering tools for people with autoimmune diseases.Medical disclaimer: All content found on Arthritis Life public channels (including Rheumer Has It) was created for generalized informational purposes only.

Once at the peak of his corporate career as COO at Airtel by the age of 34, RamG's life took a dramatic turn when he was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune illness that left him temporarily paralyzed. What followed was a profound journey of healing—physical, emotional, and spiritual—that not only reshaped his perspective on success and happiness but also ignited a powerful mission to help others live more purposeful and positive lives.Through candid reflections, RamG shares how confronting illness, vulnerability, and uncertainty pushed him to redefine what truly matters. He discovered that happiness is not a reward for success but the foundation upon which success is built. This realization became the heart of his bestselling book, Active Parenting, where he introduces the S.H.A.R.P. framework—raising children who are socially conscious, happy, authentic, resilient, and purpose-driven. Drawing from his personal experiences as a father, he speaks deeply about how parenting is not about perfection but about presence, empathy, and modeling strength in the face of adversity.The conversation explores how modern parenting demands emotional connection, mindful role modeling, and open communication, especially for fathers navigating a rapidly changing world. RamG reflects on breaking traditional norms of masculinity by embracing vulnerability and emotional awareness, and how these qualities can create deeper bonds with children. He also discusses the challenges of raising children in the age of smartphones and social media, emphasizing the importance of building resilience, gratitude, and emotional intelligence over competition or external success.Beyond parenting, this episode dives into themes of self-discovery, purpose, and the transformative power of positivity. RamG's story reminds us that setbacks can become stepping stones to meaning, and that true fulfillment comes from living with intention and compassion. Whether you are a parent, a father seeking a deeper connection with your children, or someone navigating personal growth and life's challenges, this conversation will leave you inspired, grounded, and hopeful.Listen to this powerful story of courage, transformation, and purpose, and discover how embracing life's difficulties can lead to profound growth, happiness, and a legacy of love and resilience.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome01:05 The Role of Parenting in Child Development02:37 Challenges and Triumphs in Corporate Life04:07 A Life-Changing Diagnosis and Treatment07:26 Rediscovering Passion: From Corporate to Writing10:39 The Birth of a Parenting Framework15:30 Mission-Driven Purpose and Resilience17:55 The Journey to Becoming a Bestselling Author25:39 The Importance of Happiness and Resilience36:12 The Importance of Soft Skills for Children37:16 Breaking Down the SHARP Framework38:28 Role Modeling and Befriending Children40:36 The Power of Storytelling41:52 Investing in Experiences Over Things42:41 Encouraging Fathers to Be More Involved44:13 The Role of Fathers in Parenting49:37 Building Emotional Bonds Through Communication52:35 The Impact of Role Modeling on Children01:01:06 Addressing Anxiety in the Digital Age01:06:02 The Importance of Purpose in Life01:09:27 Concluding Thoughts and Future Plans#dadsensepodcast #ramgvallath #activeparenting #parentingindia #modernfatherhood #parentingpodcast #positiveparenting #happiness #resilience #parentingjourney #mindfulparenting #fatherhood #purposedrivenlife #inspiringstories #parentingtips #parentingmotivation #emotionalparenting #indianparents #worklifebalance #parentingconversation

This week on the Good Humans Podcast, I sit down with Mikel Nyholt — a high-performing executive at Usher Group, where he leads sales, marketing, and culture for a $100M+ business employing over 500 people. But behind his professional success lies an incredible story of burnout, resilience, and self-healing that will leave you inspired.In his late 20s, Mikel's life came crashing down. After years of pushing himself to the edge in business, he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) — told he'd need constant care, and even lost vision in one eye. But instead of accepting the bleak prognosis, Mikel chose a different path.He turned inward, exploring the power of breathwork, mindset, and holistic healing, and seven years later his doctors are still blown away by his recovery and vitality.In this powerful episode, we dive into: ✅ The personal and professional burnout that led to his MS diagnosis ✅ The moment he decided to take ownership of his healing journey ✅ How breathwork and nervous system regulation changed everything ✅ The role of purpose, balance, and mindset in sustainable success ✅ What he's learned about leadership, health, and being truly aliveMikel's story is a masterclass in self-awareness and the courage to challenge conventional thinking. From corporate burnout to deep healing, his journey shows what's possible when we stop living on autopilot and start taking responsibility for our wellbeing.Follow MikelInstagram—Send me a DM on Instagram saying "I wanna join the club" to join our FREE mindfulness and gratitude accountability community :)1% Good Club Book!!The Good Human FactoryAmazonBooktopiaCooper's SocialsInstagramTikTokThe Good Human Factory LinksInstagramWebsiteMerch – Use code PODCAST for 25% OFFWorkshop EnquiryTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020 Hosted on Acast.

In this week's interview, I sat down with Dr. Tom Cowan — a physician turned alternative health pioneer — for a wide-ranging conversation that challenges everything you thought you knew about biology, medicine, and healing. He dares to question the mainstream narrative, peel back the veneer of convention, and invite you into what he calls the New Biology. Together we explore how our culture has become scientifically illiterate and dive into ideas you've rarely heard: why the heart isn't merely a pump, how structured water may hold the key to true vitality, and how emotion, environment, and movement reshape the body from the inside out. Expect thought-provoking detours into immunity, mold, autoimmunity, and what really powers you as an electromagnetic being, not just the chemistry you learned in school. If you're ready to stop treating symptoms and start thinking differently about what it means to be healthy, join us as we pull back the curtain on a new kind of medicine, one that's been hiding in plain sight.

Heading off on a road trip soon? In this week's episode, I'm sharing exactly how I prepare for long drives while living with celiac disease. My husband and I are driving from Adelaide to regional New South Wales for a wedding—so I'm walking you through what I pack, how I plan meals, and how I make sure I always have something safe to eat along the way.From packing an esky/cooler and planning backup meals to using apps like Find Me Gluten Free, this episode is full of practical ideas to help you stay safe and stress-free on your next gluten free getaway.Listen in to hear my tips forPacking gluten free food for long drivesReheating meals safely on the roadFinding celiac-safe food stops with Google Maps and Find Me Gluten FreeStaying hydrated and supporting your gut while travellingWhether you're heading interstate or just out for the weekend, these strategies will help you travel confidently without the fear of getting sick or going hungry.

Hey, Slackers!This episode was meant to be a laid-back "Whatever Wednesday," but it turned into something deeper as I felt the need to share what's been weighing on me.Recovering from surgery has been tougher than expected, and I open up about the challenges I've faced. Like many of us, especially in Gen X, we tend to push through pain, illness, or struggles with a "grit your teeth and move on" mentality. While there's strength in that resilience, it can also be a risky approach that overlooks our well-being.I also touch on the state of our healthcare and food industries and their profound impact on our health. This shouldn't be a political issue—the goal is simple: a happier, healthier population with world-class standards.This isn't my typical pop culture episode. It's raw, honest, and reflective, born from a year of navigating serious health challenges. Here's hoping for brighter days in the months ahead.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 10-16-2025: Dr. Dawn explains the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology awarded to Shimon Sakaguchi, Mary Brunkow, and Fred Ramsdell for discovering T regulatory cells. Previously, medical teaching held that the thymus only eliminated self-attacking T cells, but Sakaguchi found that removing the thymus from newborn mice caused autoimmune disease, suggesting protective regulatory cells existed. He identified CD4+CD25+ cells that suppress inflammation and can convert other T cells. Brunkow and Ramsdell discovered the FOXP3 gene that controls these cells, linking mutations to severe autoimmune diseases like IPEX syndrome. Tissue-specific Tregs regulate metabolism in fat, maintain gut microbiome tolerance, promote wound healing in skin, and control muscle regeneration. Therapeutic applications include stopping type 1 diabetes, preventing organ rejection, and treating multiple sclerosis. An emailer asks about a study linking soft drinks to depression through gut bacteria changes. Dr. Dawn critiques the cohort association study for establishing only correlation, not causation, with a weak risk ratio of 1.1 representing just 10% increased association. She explains that bacteria can influence food cravings, making it unclear whether sodas change bacteria levels or bacteria drive soda consumption. Without Koch's postulates—isolating bacteria, growing them, and reproducing disease—the causal direction remains uncertain despite statistical significance. Dr. Dawn reads David Whyte's essay on injury as invitation to transformation, exploring how pain reveals vulnerability, changes identity, requires patience, and teaches compassion. She notes this perspective may come easier to men who reach midlife believing they control their bodies, while menstruation disabuses women of that illusion earlier. As a physician, she emphasizes the ego crisis when people transition from healthy to "person with disease," requiring identity restructuring that can shake foundations but also mature and strengthen individuals. A caller responds enthusiastically to the injury essay, citing quotes from André Gide, James Hillman, and Norman O. Brown about how illness opens doors to reality closed to healthy mindedness, how the soul sees through affliction, and how vulnerability is inherent to being human. Dr. Dawn agrees that many religions embrace wounds as paths to spiritual enlightenment and commits to deeper reflection on suffering's role in the human condition. Dr. Dawn discusses cognitive functional therapy for chronic back pain, describing firefighter Joe Lawrence who believed his spine was irreparably damaged until physical therapist Peter O'Sullivan challenged those beliefs. The therapy addresses psychological aspects by teaching that backs need movement, not protection, and that tensing muscles worsens pain. The three-step approach examines pain origins including emotional context, gradually reintroduces avoided activities while learning relaxation, and establishes healthy sleep and exercise routines. GLP-1 drug prices have dropped dramatically to $499 monthly at Costco due to compounding pharmacy competition. Dr. Dawn urges immunizations, noting studies show shingles vaccination reduces dementia risk by 20% over seven years, possibly by generating T regulatory cells that reduce brain inflammation. Natural experiments in England where vaccine rollout occurred at different times in different regions provided strong evidence. She explains that chickenpox vaccination in childhood prevents both chickenpox and future shingles. Even tetanus shots appear to lower dementia risk, suggesting vaccines activate immune responses that reduce chronic inflammation. She concludes with practical advice to reduce microplastic exposure by avoiding plastic cups and containers, especially with heat. Eight-year-old coffee makers contain twice the microplastics of six-month-old machines due to deterioration. She recommends ceramic cups, glass or metal kettles, removing food from plastic before cooking, and washing polyester clothing on low heat to minimize microplastic generation.

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine recognized groundbreaking advances in understanding immune regulation — but what do they mean for people living with autoimmune disease? In this episode, Dr. Shilpa Venkatachalam, Chief Patient-Centered Research and Ethical Oversight Officer at GHLF, joins Steven to explore how our immune system knows when to act — and when to stop. Shilpa explains the importance of these discoveries, why immune “brakes” matter in autoimmune conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, and how research breakthroughs can lead to better treatments. She also shares why patients are key partners in turning lab science into real-world therapies. Tune in to learn how Nobel-winning science could help unlock better care for autoimmune disease.

Osteoarthritis is the reason for 25% of primary care doctor visits and affects 80% of all adults over the age of 50.  In this episode, you'll find out:—How Osteoarthritis is more of a "wear and tear" form of Arthritis that deteriorates the joints, while Rheumatoid Arthritis is an Autoimmune Disease where the immune system attacks the joint.—The symptoms of Osteoarthritis.  And how some of the worst Osteoarthritis cases no longer have any pain, but can't move due to the increased stiffness.—The crucial importance of proper Chiropractic alignment to keep joints from wearing down.  And why you should even have your children checked annually.—The advanced X-Ray imaging used at Holistic Integration where X-Rays are read by one of the top Radiologists in the world.—Why the medical treatments for Osteoarthritis, like NSAID's and steroids, will actually destroy the joints and worsen the Osteoarthritis long-term.—How the Disease Care/Medical model says that Osteoarthritis is something that cannot be cured, but Structure-Function Care is actually able to reverse the deterioration. —The Decompression treatment that pumps the fluid and nutrition into the joints and can actually reverse the Osteoarthritis.—Why Dr. Prather says that Acupuncture is "absolutely great" for Osteoarthritis, which can provide immediate relief from the pain.—The many natural supplement options at Holistic Integration that are helpful for Osteoarthritis, which actually work better than the drugs and pharmaceuticals.  And the topical herbal liniments used at Holistic Integration that are "extremely effective" and "can make all the difference in the world".—Why a 5-day food rotation diet can be "a critical aspect of someone's care" with severe Osteoarthritis.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

What if the very tests your doctor says are “normal” are actually missing the real reason you feel exhausted, foggy, anxious, or out of balance? For millions of people, thyroid issues are at the heart of their symptoms — yet they're often overlooked, misdiagnosed, or mistreated.   In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with McCall McPherson, PA-C — a physician associate, TEDx speaker, and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic — to uncover the truth about thyroid health and the issues with how the conventional model addresses it. McCall shares both her medical expertise and her personal journey with hypothyroidism, shedding light on why so many patients aren't getting the answers they need and what we can do differently.   Together, we explore the crucial differences between Hashimoto's, Graves', and hypothyroidism, why relying on TSH markers alone misses the bigger picture, and the labs that actually matter. We talk about the role of inflammation, toxins, and stress in autoimmune thyroid disease, as well as the hidden connections between thyroid health, heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline.   McCall also opens up about controversial topics many doctors don't discuss — from the risks of birth control and misconceptions about hormone replacement therapy to the overuse of GLP-1 drugs. And she offers practical, empowering lifestyle shifts — from food to relationships to microdosing peptides — that can make a profound difference in daily health.   This is an eye-opening and life-changing conversation for anyone who has ever been told their labs are “normal” but still knows something isn't right.

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.

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.

When Dr. Nouran Abdelkader developed vitiligo—a disfiguring autoimmune skin condition—the UK's top dermatologist told her there was no hope and no treatment. The disease would spread everywhere, he said. She'd have to live with it forever.What happened next challenges everything we think we know about autoimmune disease, nutrition, and healing.This emergency medicine doctor didn't just heal her vitiligo. She also resolved her lifelong asthma, eczema, chronic hives, ADHD symptoms, depression, panic attacks, and brain fog. Her IQ jumped from 110 to 137. Her diabetic sister reduced insulin from 70 units to 7 units daily.The solution? She eliminated everything except meat, salt, and water.Dr. Abdelkader shares her controversial journey from believing every medical guideline to questioning the entire system. She explains why she now feels guilty prescribing standard treatments, how she risks her medical license by sharing her experience, and why she believes most medical research serves profit over patients.This isn't just another diet success story. It's a practicing physician's firsthand account of how the medical establishment fails patients with chronic disease—and what actually works when conventional medicine doesn't.Her transformation raises uncomfortable questions: If meat heals while fruits and vegetables inflame, what else have we gotten wrong? Why can't doctors share successful treatments that contradict guidelines? And how many people are suffering needlessly because the system won't acknowledge inconvenient truths?BIG IDEA"We are made of meat, water, salt and trace elements—so if you eat what you are made of, you'll be fine, but if you eat something we're not made of, like vegetables or sugar, problems arise."Nouran Abdelkader - Contact InfoLinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nouran-el-dali-528a26b8Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.
