#38: Inflammation is linked to almost every chronic disease, so how do we prevent inflammation in the body? One way is through the foods we eat. Do you feel fatigued, bloated, or in pain after certain meals? 50 million Americans suffer from an autoimmune disease and the rates continue to rise. So Kaylee breaks down how you can learn what foods you're sensitive to, how to get tested, and how the Autoimmune Protocol Diet helps us eliminate foods and slowly reintroduce them back into our body.

There has been a steady rise in autoimmune disease throughout industrialised societies over the last 30 years. Almost 4.5% of the world's population is affected by one of more than 80 different autoimmune diseases.To add to these already alarming statistics, recent studies have revealed that the incidence of autoimmune diseases worldwide is increasing at a rate of 19% per year.While we know that numerous predisposing genetic risk factors have been identified, these only account for a fraction of the overall incidence of autoimmune diseases.There are studies pointing to a strong influence of environmental and lifestyle factors, but translating this into a meaningful therapeutic model is a challenge, especially under the current, prevailing medical paradigm.Nevertheless, there are those who have pioneered this field of research and, through their personal and professional endeavours, have made it all but impossible to ignore how profound an impact diet, lifestyle and mindset can have when faced with seemingly intractable conditions.Dr Terry Wahls is a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa. In 2000, she was diagnosed with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis and from that point, began to steadily decline. Because of her academic medical training, Terry began a research journey that eventually led her to investigate these under-explored factors and from this she developed a treatment plan that would help restore her health. Today, Dr Terry Wahls is a teacher and mentor to millions of people around the world who are seeking more effective ways to treat multiple sclerosis and other progressive health problems.Her story is truly inspirational and we are so fortunate to have Terry share this on the IMH Patient Journeys podcast. References:Jamka M, et.al.

How did health become so complicated? Are potatoes evil? Can you drink milk? Well, it doesn't have to be so complicated if you get the right guidance. I managed to get one of the functional medicine pioneers in Denmark on the podcast. If functional medicine was music then he would be a true rock star :) Today's guest, Umahro Cadogan, shares the simple framework for health that he teaches students on his health education. He used the same framework to create “miracles” in his TV show “Food Can Change Your Life”. The TV show features individuals who have been told by the existing system that there was nothing more they could do. Then, Umharo and his colleague manage to get them back on a healthy track with a focus on food. In this episode, we go through his framework with a fictitious case of Vitiligo to look at what you can do if you have some specific health issues. The framework is universally applicable to different diseases and it also provides you with concrete steps to get started, no matter what your health challenge is.

Banning Nutrition Advice Without A License? [9:53] Carli says: Hi Robb & Nikki -- Longtime follower, podcast listener, and fellow libertarian here. Thanks for all you do! My question/comment is regarding the recent decision out of FL that upholds a ban on providing individual nutrition advice without a state-sanctioned license -- have you heard about this? I'm a recent Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) graduate and have already helped clients in my home state of Virginia make ancestral-type changes and seen speedy benefits. If I lived in FL this would be illegal.  I'm trying to start a coalition of some of the big guns in the nutrition space (you!) to spread awareness (state legislatures across the country are trying these bogus regulations to squash small business and anything that goes against conventional wisdom) and maybe help this particular case while there is still change. I'm hopeful bigger platforms can come together and make a big deal about this -- it is an important freedom of speech issue with public health ramifications. The post below from IJ explains the case, and I'd be happy to help in any way possible connecting you to people in that world (I work at a public policy think tank in DC and have lots of connections through my network I can put you in touch with). https://ij.org/press-release/federal-court-upholds-censorship-of-dietary-advice/   2.  Keto For Autoimmune & Thyroid Dysfunction? [17:59] Krysti says: Hi Robb! Your podcast is one of my favorites among all of the health and fitness voices out there. I have a question regarding something my nutritionist said to me the other day. I have SIBO, Celiac and Hashimoto's and was discussing treatment protocols with her for the SIBO. I've done a 2-3 week elemental diet before and it was pretty rough - two years later I still can't look at a spoonful of coconut oil the same... This time I suggested trying a zero carb diet like Shawn Baker's carnivore diet for the 2-3 week therapeutic period then transition to keto as a long term way of eating. I've heard that some people with SIBO get drastically better this way. However, my nutritionist specifically objected to the lack of carbohydrates that would, in her opinion, cause my thyroid dysfunction to get worse. She said something about not having insulin spikes means my thyroid hormones would drop. She prefers something like Integrative Therapeutics Elemental Diet formula which is 69% carbohydrate (dextrose and maltodextrin), 17% fat, and 14% protein. What is your opinion on me as a woman eating a keto/carnivore diet with autoimmune/thyroid conditions? Thanks! Efficacy of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet as Part of a Multi-disciplinary, Supported Lifestyle Intervention for Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis A-Online health coaching pilot study looking at AIP in Hashi's B-Antibody titer did not change much, but quality of life, symptom reporting improved, CRP reduced C-If on meds, thyroid is not really an issue   3. Antibiotic Prophylaxis? [24:50] Whitney says: Hi Robb, I’m a huge fan of all you do! I’m a dental hygienist and I love combining my passion for health with my dental career (thank you for introducing me to Dr. Steven Lin through your podcast by the way). For a long time it was recommended that patients take an antibiotic before there dental appointments if they had a joint replacement, due to the risk of bacteria entering the blood stream at those appointments and causing infection in the new joint. In recent years the rules have changed and it is no longer required. However many orthopedic surgeons are still advising some of my patients to take this before all appointments for life! I try to educate them on risks of altering their gut microbiome as well as creating resistant bacteria strains. But of course most people side with their surgeon and not their dental hygienist. I don’t have a lot of time to spend with them on the topic and I’m not well versed in this enough to educate appropriately. What can be my “elevator pitch”, so to speak, to explain this thoroughly, quickly, and effectively? Or maybe I’m overreacting? Should I recommend a probiotic if they insist on pre-medicating? You have a way of putting things so I always understand them so I thought you could help. I know this isn’t your typical question but I would appreciate your input. Thank you so much if you even read this long rant :) Antibiotic prophylaxis for dental treatment after prosthetic joint replacement: exploring the orthopaedic surgeon's opinion The concerns: A-PJI....can easily be fatal B-but, antibiotics can have a host of problems ranging from anaphalaxis, to unforeseen gut alterations. C-BUT, reviews of this topic paint a picture that for dental treatment, this may be overkill From the paper: "There is limited evidence demonstrating an association between dental treatment and PJI [1]. Case reports and retrospective studies that suggest a relationship between dental treatment and PJI are usually cited as justification for continuing to use antibiotic prophylaxis [8], [9], [10], [11]. Current international guidelines do not support the use of antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent PJI [7], [12], [13], [14], [15]. The Australian Therapeutic Guidelines recommend reducing the risk of infection by comprehensive medical management perioperatively [15]. Despite these recommendations, some dental and orthopaedic surgeons continue to prescribe antibiotic prophylaxis hoping to protect patients from the dire consequences of PJI [16], [17]." D-Quick note to the Evidence Based Medicine crowd: The recommendation were once to do X, upon review, they are now Y, yet many practitioners still rec X. NONE of this is writ in stone and it's ridiculous to hide behind the evidence based moniker...this current recommendation may modify with time!   4. Moms, Lack of sleep, Exercise [33:12] Brenna says: Hi Robb and Nicki, As a new mom to a 4.5mo old I'm curious to know your thoughts, experience, etc on exercise and diet after a night of very little sleep.  I used to love working out through walking, lifting weights/swinging a kettle bell, however life changes when you have a baby.  Around 3mo postpartum I started doing some body weight exercise and built back into swinging a 15-20# kettle bell for 15-30min in the morning.  Diet wise, I tend to follow a lower carb paleo template (50-80g/day) and yes I'm breastfeeding. My goal is simply to maintain health and support hormone levels for fertility. My weight is fine, but I also want to support good insulin sensitivity and keep some muscle mass since I lost quite a bit right after the baby was born.  However, after a night or two or three... of little sleep

Mickey Trescott, NTP is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, blogger, author, and advocate for those taking recovery from autoimmune disease into their own hands. Mickey has a special place in my heart because her first book was the resource that my wife, Julie, used to help me recover my own health. She’s now written a second book, The Nutrient-Dense Kitchen, emphasizing the healing aspects of the highly nutritious foods available within the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) template. In this interview, Mickey and I discuss her journey to finally being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and celiac diseases, and the lifestyle factors that may have contributed to her illness. She discusses some of the pitfalls encountered by people following AIP, and the clinical trials being done to empirically validate AIP as a treatment for autoimmune disease.

We finally have a study specifically looking at the efficacy of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, also known as the Autoimmune Paleo Diet or AIP, and Hashimoto’s disease. The exact title of the paper is, “Efficacy of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet as Part of a Multi-disciplinary, Supported Lifestyle Intervention for Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis” by Abbott et al. Published in April of 2019 in the journal Cureus.  I break down the study details below so you can better understand if this diet actually works for Hashimoto's disease. I have written before about the Autoimmune Paleo Diet but this was on a paper looking at inflammatory bowel disease which did show some promising results. The authors begin the study by stating some of the potential causes of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis including genetic and environmental factors, pregnancy, drugs, nutritional intake, vitamin D receptor defects and infections. They also state something very important which is the fact that individuals with Hashimoto’s disease who are treated with thyroid medication tend to continue to have a reduced quality of life and chronic symptoms like fatigue, nervousness, dry skin, hair loss, and irritability even though their thyroid numbers look fine. I also liked the fact that they stated there isn’t enough evidence that goitrogens consumed in moderation negatively impact thyroid function. How was this study done? 17 subjects between the ages of 20-45 with Hashimoto’s disease began the study but only 16 finished due to one of them getting pregnant. They couldn’t have been following the AIP diet within 30 days of starting the trial and it was ok for them to be taking thyroid medication. Subjects did a 2-week washout period and filled out symptom and food questionnaires. The following blood tests were done: TSH Total and Free T4 Total and Free T3 Reverse T3 Thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO) Anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (TGA) Complete blood count (CBC) Complete metabolic profile (CMP) Vitamin D Highly-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) And surprisingly they did an organic acids test and a stool analysis. A stool analysis is vital for those with Hashimoto’s disease to identify infections like H. pylori, Blastocystis hominis, and Yersinia enterocolitica. Organic acids gives a detailed view of overall metabolism so we know how well someone is making energy from fat, protein, and carbohydrates as well as detoxification, gut health markers, neurotransmitters, and certain amino acids, vitamins and minerals. After the two week washout period, the subjects started a 10-week process including: -Six weeks of food elimination which included gluten, all grains including gluten-free grains, dairy, nuts, legumes, nightshades, eggs, coffee, alcohol, seeds, refined sugars, oils, and food additives. -More nutrient-dense foods including bone broth, fermented foods, seafood, organ meats, and more mono and polyunsaturated fats. -Lifestyle modifications including sleep hygiene, support systems, stress management, movement, and more time outdoors. -A four-week maintenance phase with no food reintroductions. All participants had the support of health coaches and NTP’s who helped them with menu planning, grocery shopping, recipes, cooking, and lifestyle modification suggestions. Unfortunately, the participants engaged in a private Facebook group despite the fact the Facebook has been shown to cause anxiety and depression. Once the 10 week intervention was over the subjects repeated all of their lab tests and questionnaires to see how they responded. Did the Autoimmune Paleo Diet yield good results for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis? All of the symptoms measured in the questionnaires improved and the symptom burden decreased significantly. None of the thyroid blood tests changed with any significance including TSH, total and free T4, total and free T3, and the thyroid antibodies did not change either.

Functional medicine physician Rob Abbott, MD is back on the podcast this week.  Since he was with us last year his career and practice has evolved in exciting ways. While seeing patients at Resilient Roots Functional and Evolutionary Medicine in Charlottesville, Virginia, he is also the medical advisor at Autoimmune Wellness and is conducting collaborative research with founders Angie Alt and Mickey Trescott. Today Rob talks about the results of his recently published pilot study of the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet for women with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. He describes the crowdfunding that made the research possible, the tools and supports they used with the participants, and the dramatic results found at the end of 10 weeks.

Alene Brennan is a certified nutrition coach, natural food chef, yoga instructor, and personal trainer who helps people with autoimmune disease heal through diet and lifestyle. Oh, and she has MS. And migraines. And she learned how to affect her chronic illness positively through diet and lifestyle - and now she helps others do the same through her coaching. She’s really an amazing person with a ton of passion to really help people. It was her tagline that first caught my attention: “less pharm more table!” I LOVE it! In this episode, Alene shares how she was diagnosed with MS in 2016 in the midst of helping her mother during the end stage of her cancer battle. After her mother passed, she turned her attention to her own battles with both MS and Migraines and found ways to mitigate the symptoms. She started by going to a conference and getting certified in Dr. Terry Wahl's Protocol, then expanded her repertoire to include the Autoimmune Protocol Diet certification. Yoga and nutrition coach certifications along with a certification as a natural food chef just added the final pieces to the puzzle and help her to serve her community - those of us with an autoimmune disease. Alene is not a purist in the sense of rejecting western medicine. On the contrary, she believes you need to do what's best for you and compliment each therapy with the other. Recognizing how valuable her knowledge and experience was, she started a 1:1 coaching business that embraces medication AND lifestyle upgrades to include: diet, exercise, supplementation, stress reduction and sleep enhancement. She has wonderful suggestions for each component of her plan and works to meet each client where they are in their journey - and then acts as both support and accountability partner. She does this right over the phone - no need to travel or leave your home. She stresses the importance of building resiliency and believes that which you focus on, gets bigger - so mindset is another component of her coaching that she brings to the table.

In Episode 025 of A Medicinal Mind Wisdom and Wellbeing, I hold space with one of the most innovative and genuine hearts in the ancestral and integrative health space, Mickey Trescott. Mickey is a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner seeking to help people find creative solutions to preparing, cooking, and succeeding on allergen-free diets. She is the author of the best-selling book, The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook, co-author of The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook and co-host of The Autoimmune Wellness Podcast with her friend and colleague Angie Alt. While many of you listening to this podcast may have heard Mickey's moving story before, in today's conversation, Mickey shares some of the newest evolving pieces of her calling and mission to help hundreds heal from chronic autoimmune disease. In the podcast, we dig into Mickey's recent work educating and training nutritional therapy practitioners fluent in applying targeted dietary and lifestyle approaches for various medical conditions, including some of the most devastating autoimmune diseases currently with few answers in the traditional medical model. We explore the greater social movement behind Mickey and Angie's work, seeking to increase awareness, education and empowerment so that any individual or family can make informed and nourishing choices to support optimal wellbeing. We all agree that while information alone will not change the epidemic of chronic disease, there are still hundreds and thousands of individuals completely unaware that there are dietary and lifestyle approaches that can halt and even reverse their autoimmune disease. Getting in the heart of the episode Mickey and I then explore a landmark study recently published involving the implementation of Angie Alt's uniquely designed phased elimination and lifestyle protocol based on the principles of the autoimmune paleo diet. I cannot encourage you enough to check out this study available on our podcast page and steep in the insights from Mickey and her partner Angie as they continue to hold a space for those seeking to heal from autoimmune disease.  I was so grateful to have this conversation with Mickey and am so thankful to call her a friend, sharing a space for innovators trying to break new ground towards a future of happy, healthy and flourishing human beings. I really hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did and please share it with your family, colleagues and friends. I truly cannot recall a more a joyful and authentic conversation as part of this podcast. And with that, let's dig into the show.

The autoimmune paleo diet (AIP) also known as the autoimmune protocol diet is an extremely popular diet these days for autoimmune disease but there has never been any studies done to evaluate if it actually works.  Although testimonials should be taken into account, and there are many all over the internet,  the ultimate test for validity is a clinical trial. As of August 29th, 2017, we now have a study that looked at this diet and how effective it was for autoimmune disease.  The paper is entitled, “Efficacy of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet for Inflammatory Bowel Disease.”  Dr. Konijeti is the lead author and it was published in the journal Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Let’s dig into the study and see what they came up with.  The study included 18 adults but three of them withdrew because they couldn’t commit to the diet so there were only 15 participants.  9 of them had Crohn’s disease and 6 had ulcerative colitis.  Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are autoimmune inflammatory bowel diseases. What causes these diseases?  The authors note that Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are due to genetic factors, gut dysbiosis, dietary factors, environmental exposures, and immune system dysregulation.  This is mostly true for all types of autoimmune diseases but I would also include infections in this list such as viruses and bacteria. To be more specific regarding dietary factors that increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease, it is noted that a typical Western diet high in refined carbohydrates, omega-6 fatty acids, saturated fat, low in fiber, vitamins, and nutrient-dense foods are part of the problem. What is the autoimmune paleo diet (AIP)? The autoimmune protocol diet is also known as the autoimmune paleo diet since it is an offshoot of the classic paleo diet.  The following foods are eliminated from this diet: Gluten-containing grains Gluten-free grains Dairy Eggs Nuts Seeds Refined carbohydrates and sugar Legumes Nightshades Oils Food additives Coffee Alcohol Why are these particular items avoided in the autoimmune paleo diet? The goal is to remove any foods that tend to be inflammatory in nature and can lead to dysbiosis.  Approximately 70% of the immune system is in the gut and the microbiota have key connections with the immune system so it makes sense to reduce inflammatory stress in this area as much as possible. The autoimmune paleo diet consists of the following: Fruit Vegetables Lean meats Fish Healthy Fats Coconut Sweet potatoes A few additional items that are emphasized are fermented foods to help maintain a healthy microbiota and bone broth for intestinal healing and nutrient density. How did the subjects eat in this study? All subjects followed a 6-week elimination phase and then a 5-week maintenance phase where no foods could be reintroduced.  The participants had a lot of support including a private Facebook page where they could interact with each other and share recipes and ideas. Additionally, they worked with a health coach and a registered dietician.  The subjects were educated on proper sleep hygiene, stress management, exercise instruction, grocery shopping and food preparation including how to make bone broth and the benefits of fermented foods.  Education against the use of NSAIDs was also provided since these lead to bowel inflammation and contribute to dysbiosis. They were also given two books:  “The Paleo Approach:  Reverse Autoimmune Disease and Heal Your Body” by Ballantyne and “The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook:  An Allergen-Free Approach to Managing Chronic Illness” by Trescott.  These are two excellent books on the autoimmune paleo diet. C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin were measured before and after the diet.  If you are a patient of mine you know that we always run c-reactive protein levels because it is an excellent marker of inflammation.
