Podcasts about Autoimmunity

If you've heard of the Autoimmune Protocol but felt like it was too restrictive to even try — or you've done it and wondered if you were doing it right — this episode is worth your time. I sat down with Mickey Trescott, one of the key people behind AIP, to talk about her new book The New AIP. We get into the actual clinical research (IBD, Hashimoto's, and RA studies), what the results really showed, and the newly formalized Modified AIP pathway that makes the protocol far more accessible than most people realize. We also bust the biggest myth about AIP — that it's just a restrictive diet — and talk about what the protocol actually involves beyond food, how long you should stay in elimination, when to troubleshoot if it's not working, and what the long game looks like when you're living with a chronic condition. Mickey also shares her own recent health setback — a new psoriatic arthritis diagnosis 15 years into her journey — and what she actually did about it. Practical, research-backed, and refreshingly honest. For the complete show notes, links and transcripts, visit inspiredliving.show/248

Are peptides safe? And is it possible that with their growing interest for everything from injury recovery and exercise performance to weight management and healthy aging, it's no surprise that important drawbacks are overlooked? Like could peptides fuel cancer growth?That's why it may be increasingly risky to overlook key factors like lab testing, inflammation, and individual health history when deciding if peptides are right for you. My guest, Dr. Elena Zinkov, is a naturopathic medical doctor and entrepreneur who specializes in hormone optimization, longevity, and regenerative medicine. With a science-backed approach to healthspan, she is passionate about helping women access personalized solutions that support vitality and well-being at every stage of life.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky takes a deep dive into black seed oil (Nigella sativa) and its potential role in supporting thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease. He explains the differences between whole black seed, powdered black seed, black seed oil, and black seed essential oil, highlighting why these distinctions matter when interpreting the research. Dr. Eric reviews the available studies, including a clinical trial involving people with Hashimoto's thyroiditis that demonstrated improvements in thyroid markers, thyroid antibodies, and metabolic health. He also discusses the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating properties of Nigella sativa, exploring how these mechanisms may support immune system balance and potentially benefit those with autoimmune conditions. Along the way, he addresses important considerations such as supplement quality, thymoquinone content, product variability, and potential contraindications.Finally, Dr. Eric offers a balanced perspective on where black seed oil fits into a comprehensive thyroid-healing strategy. While the research is promising, he explains why it isn't a supplement he routinely recommends to every patient and discusses how it compares to other antioxidant-support supplements. If you want a clearer understanding of black seed oil, the science behind it, and whether it may have a place in your thyroid health journey, you'll get a lot out of this episode.To take the Save My Thyroid Quiz visit www.savemythyroid.com/quiz Free resources for your thyroid healthGet your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.comHigh-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto' s Have you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

If you've been doing everything right and still feel exhausted, anxious, and like your body just won't cooperate — this episode is for you. I sat down with Dr. Scott Sherr, a board-certified internal medicine physician and COO of Troscriptions, to talk about the sympathetic spiral: a chronic fight-or-flight loop most people don't even know they're in. And here's what surprised me most — you don't have to feel stressed to be stuck in it. We get into why your cellular energy and your anxiety are locked in a loop, what mitochondrial dysfunction actually means for your daily life, and how a specific sequence of support can help you finally start feeling better. We also go deep on methylene blue — the history, how it works, the right dosing range, and the sourcing and safety details that most people skip (including who should absolutely not use it). Plus: why GABA deficiency is so common, how to calm your nervous system without sedating yourself, and why sleep is a full-day practice — not just a bedtime routine.

What if the pressure to be “good” is making women physically sick? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Dan sits down with award-winning filmmaker, entrepreneur, and author Sara Hirsh Bordo to explore the powerful connection between autoimmune disease, trauma, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment as well as to discuss Sara's powerful new book Autoimmunity and the Good Girls: How Permission to Put Ourselves First Has the Power to Keep Us Well. After being diagnosed with multiple serious health conditions—including Hashimoto's thyroiditis, melanoma, tumors, Epstein-Barr, mold poisoning, and heavy metal toxicity—Sara began asking a life-changing question: What if years of self-betrayal were making her body turn against itself? Through deeply personal storytelling, groundbreaking research, and profound insight, Sara shares how decades of prioritizing others over herself created patterns that impacted both her emotional and physical well-being. Together, she and Dr. Dan unpack the “good girl” conditioning so many women experience, the hidden cost of chronic self-sacrifice, and how reclaiming authenticity may be one of the most important healing journeys of all. This conversation is compassionate, courageous, and transformative—for women, men, families, leaders, and anyone seeking deeper self-awareness and healing.

Send us Fan MailThis week, I'm joined by Michele Spring for a conversation about Hashimoto's, autoimmune healing, and the often-overlooked role stress plays in chronic illness. We talk about why food can be a powerful tool for uncovering inflammation, how restrictive diets are meant to be temporary, and what happens when symptoms return after you've already done the work to feel better. We also explore the connection between perfectionism, people-pleasing, overachievement, and autoimmune disease, along with why nervous system regulation became such an important piece of Michele's healing journey.KEY TAKEAWAYS:• Hashimoto's is about more than thyroid hormones• Food can uncover hidden sources of inflammation• Healing often requires more than dietary changes• Overachievement and people-pleasing can fuel chronic stress• Nervous system support is a missing piece for many peopleABOUT GUEST:Michele Spring is an autoimmune health coach, founder of Thriving Autoimmune, and a Hashimoto's and Celiac disease warrior. After struggling for years with fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and other symptoms despite conventional treatment, she discovered a root-cause approach that transformed her health.

In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy sits down with Dr. Aristo Vojdani, one of the most cited immunologists in the world, with over 50 years of clinical research and more than 200 published studies. He opens with the data that most doctors have not talked openly about: anti-nuclear antibody positivity in the so-called healthy population has risen from roughly 1% in 1970 to an estimated 20% today. He explains why better testing is not the reason, and what environmental exposures, heavy metals, viral particles, toxic chemicals, and immune system dysregulation are actually driving that rise.   Dr. Vojdani also introduces a framework that is both practical and urgent: the four zones of autoimmunity, green, yellow, orange, and red, and explains why antibodies show up in the blood three to 19 years before symptoms of full autoimmune disease ever appear. That window is not just a warning. It is an opportunity. He walks through the specific lab panels available today that can tell you where you are in that spectrum, what cross-reactivity between viruses and human tissue means for conditions like MS, liver autoimmunity, and long COVID, and what actually keeps the immune system in balance at the cellular level.   If your body feels like it's running on empty, overburdened, or just not responding the way it used to, Haylie's latest book, Toxic Overload, tells you exactly what to do.

Could your home be the reason you're not getting better?I sat down with Paul Kealey, founder of EcoBuilt, to talk about something most of us never think to question — the air inside our homes. Paul has spent nearly 25 years in construction, and what he shares might change how you see your living space entirely. We get into why new homes aren't automatically healthier (studies suggest over 25% have hidden mold inside the walls), how bedroom CO2 levels can hit 5x what's outside — quietly wrecking your sleep and your body's ability to detox overnight — and why "energy efficient" and "healthy" are not the same thing. Paul also walks through three tests any homeowner can run right now to find out if their home is working against them: a mold dust swab test, a CO2 and humidity monitor, and an energy audit. If you're dealing with an autoimmune condition, chronic fatigue, or symptoms that never quite have an explanation, this one is for you.

If you have Hashimoto's and have been told your blood sugar is "borderline" or "fine for now," this conversation will change how you think about it. Inna sits down with Dr. Jason Shumard, a functional medicine practitioner with more than two decades of experience in diabetes and insulin resistance, to unpack why blood sugar troubles and thyroid autoimmunity so often travel together. The surprising takeaway is that elevated blood sugar usually isn't a sugar problem at all. It's a signal that something has gone wrong at the level of the cell, and chasing the number alone tends to leave the real issue untouched.Dr. Jason walks through what's actually happening when insulin can no longer do its job, and why the receptors on your cells stop responding in the first place. He explains the role that hidden drivers like infections, mold, heavy metals, chronic inflammation and everyday stress play in keeping the cycle going, and why these overlap so heavily with the same triggers behind Hashimoto's. He and Inna also dig into the lab markers worth paying attention to beyond a basic glucose reading, the optimal ranges he looks for, and the simple ratio already sitting on most standard bloodwork that can flag insulin resistance early.The discussion gets especially practical around carbohydrates, GLP-1 medications, and the idea of cycling rather than relying on any single tool forever. Dr. Jason offers a refreshingly balanced view, neither demonizing carbs nor treating medications as a permanent fix, and shares why restoring true cellular function is what allows so many people to move toward remission. It's an honest, hopeful look at a topic that affects far more people with thyroid issues than most realize, and a reminder that the body is often far more capable of healing than we've been led to believe.For full show notes, please see: https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/lowering-blood-sugar-insulin-resistance-hashimotos-dr-jason-shumard/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 If 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/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.com Get ThyroLove - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping 

Less than 25% of people with IBS get real relief from conventional medicine. That number tells you everything about how the current approach is failing.Most people with IBS have been told it is stress, told to take medication, and sent home. But irritable bowel syndrome is not one condition, it is a label applied to a cluster of symptoms that can have 20 to 40 completely different root causes. And left unaddressed, it is one of the most reliable predictors of autoimmune disease down the line.In this episode I sit down with Dr. Izabella Wentz, clinical pharmacist, functional medicine expert, and NYT bestselling author known as the Thyroid Pharmacist.

Sara Hirsh Bordo is an award-winning documentary filmmaker of women and girls' stories. She is the Founder of a female empowerment production company called Women Rising® and a first-time author.  Sara's book, Autoimmunity and the Good Girls, How Permission to Put Ourselves First Has the Power to Keep Us Well, is a personal transformation story that reminds women that their healing begins when they give themselves permission to speak up and take charge of their health. In this episode, Sara discusses her book… the DNA of a Good Girl… her experiences growing up as the eldest and only daughter in a large, Texan Lebanese family… how the birth of twin brothers, when she was three-and-a-half years old, was “also the birthplace of ‘Be a good girl and help mommy,' and ‘Be a good girl and help daddy,' and ‘Be a good girl and do this for yourself'… becoming the Good Girl character that her family needed, an archetype that she has since explored extensively in her research for Autoimmunity and the Good Girls… years of long work days, of championing female empowerment on screen and on stages, while caring for others and also  encountering a series of her own serious health challenges and diagnoses… the exploration of choices that would help her restore her health… ancestral healing and the stories her family has told across generations… being married at 24 and the realizations that the end of that marriage sparked… being judged by family values that she had not chosen… a pyramid that she created and called The Identity Immunity Story, a tool that helps Good Girls understand the stories and rules they have allowed to govern their lives… rebellion against family rules and expectations that empower us to rewire Good Girl DNA and reprogram our immune system… the observation that we either live according to the rules that were given to us or we choose to write our own rules… and her closing reminder to us all–“The accepting of the invitation to be truer to you is done one step at a time.”

Metabolic syndrome, long-haul syndromes, hypersensitivity, and autoimmunity are four ways the immune system adapts to a nervous system living in fear. Each one is the immune system adapting to a fear-driven nervous system. These are adaptations. The body is doing what bodies do. In this solo episode, Dr. Aimie walks through all four immune adaptive patterns. The fear pattern behind each one. What your diagnosis is actually telling you. And why hope lives in a simple fact: most immune cells turn over every three days. She also shares her own experience with all four. This is also her own story.

Autoimmune disease often starts long before symptoms become obvious, and advanced testing may help uncover the hidden triggers driving inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, and chronic illness. In this episode, Dr. Jen speaks with Rubina Vojdani of Immunosciences Lab about how viruses like EBV, HHV-6, SARS-CoV-2, and Lyme-related infections can contribute to immune dysregulation, molecular mimicry, neuroinflammation, and autoimmune patterns. They discuss why conventional screening may miss key clues, how advanced panels can help identify root causes, and why monitoring markers over time can empower both practitioners and patients to intervene earlier and more precisely. Rubina Vojdani is the Lab Manager and Marketing Director at Immunosciences Lab, a clinical laboratory focused on functional immunology, autoimmunity, viral triggers, Lyme disease, and chronic inflammatory conditions. Working alongside her father, world-renowned immunologist Dr. Aristo Vojdani, Rubina helps bridge complex laboratory science with real-world clinical practice. Her work focuses on helping practitioners better understand how infections, environmental factors, and immune dysregulation contribute to chronic disease.Website: https://immunoscienceslab.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/immunoscienceslabFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/immunoscienceslabincPODCAST: Thank you for listening please subscribe and share!

If you have autoimmune disease, you've probably been told to keep an eye on your bone density number. But here's the thing — that number only predicts fractures in about 44% of women with osteoporosis. Most of what's actually driving your fracture risk isn't showing up on that scan. I brought Dr. John Neustadt back to talk about his newly expanded book, Fracture-Proof Your Bones, and this conversation goes well beyond what we covered last time. We get into how gut inflammation — the kind that comes with autoimmunity, leaky gut, Crohn's, or celiac — directly triggers bone loss through inflammatory cytokines that activate the cells that break down bone. We also talk about the medications most doctors aren't warning you about (SSRIs, prednisone, PPIs) and how they're silently destroying bone tissue. Plus: what your diet is actually doing to your skeleton, a simple 10-second balance test that predicts fracture risk better than a bone scan, the surprising link between oxytocin and your osteoblasts, and which routine labs to ask for that most people never get. People with autoimmune disease face a 200–400% increased fracture risk. That's the reality — but there's a lot you can do about it.

“What if your body isn't failing you… but asking for a different kind of support?” In this episode, Dr. Mariza sits down with Mickey Trescott to unpack the powerful connection between inflammation, autoimmune disease, gut health, and perimenopause. Together, they explore why so many women are dismissed when labs look “normal” despite debilitating symptoms like fatigue, bloating, brain fog, joint pain, skin issues, and weight resistance. Mickey shares her personal journey with Hashimoto's, celiac disease, and autoimmune recovery—and how the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) became a transformative tool for reducing inflammation and helping millions feel better in their bodies. They also dive into the evolution of AIP over the last 15 years, the newest research validating its effectiveness, and why perimenopause often becomes an inflammatory inflection point where hidden symptoms suddenly rise to the surface. If you've been struggling with chronic inflammation, unexplained symptoms, or feeling dismissed by conventional medicine, this conversation will help you connect the dots—and give you practical hope moving forward. MICKEY TRESCOTT Mickey Trescott is a nutritional therapy practitioner, cookbook author, and co-creator of the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP). After being diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and celiac disease in her twenties, she dedicated her work to helping people navigate autoimmune disease through nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and inflammation support. She has helped shape the modern AIP movement and trained hundreds of healthcare practitioners around the world. IN THIS EPISODE Why autoimmune disease impacts women at significantly higher rates How inflammation often worsens during perimenopause and menopause The connection between gut health, food sensitivities, and immune regulation Why “normal labs” don't always reflect how women actually feel The science and research behind the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) The difference between Core AIP and the newer Modified AIP approach Why food reintroductions and personalization are key for long-term healing QUOTES“Your body is not working against you. It's asking for a different level of support.” “Three out of every four-ish people get clinical improvement from doing an elimination diet when you have autoimmune disease.” “When hormones begin to shift, the body becomes far less tolerant of underlying inflammation.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Use code ENERGIZED and get 30% off on your first BATCH order http://hellobatch.com/ENERGIZED Grab Mickey's new AIP book  https://theautoimmuneprotocol.com/ Visit Autoimmune Wellness Website Autoimmune Wellness Instagram Mickey Trescott Instagram Mickey Trescott Facebook Mickey Trescott Youtube RELATED EPISODES  747: The Silent Shift: Why Perimenopause Changes Everything 717: “I Don't Feel Like Myself Anymore”: The Mental & Emotional Reality of Perimenopause 741: Estrogen, Gut Health, and Metabolism with Siobhan Mitchell 728: Why Brain Fog Isn't Random: The Hormone Shift Behind It

Are you stuck in a cycle of inflammation with no clear answers? Autoimmune conditions can be confusing, frustrating, slow to diagnose, and sometimes take years to understand.  In this episode, I am chatting with Mickey Trescott, a leading expert on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), about her decade of research and personal experience managing autoimmune disease.

If you've ever been told your labs are normal while your body feels like it's falling apart. This episode is for you.Because autoimmune disease rarely starts at the diagnosis. It starts years earlier. In the gray zone. Where you're symptomatic enough to suffer but not sick enough to qualify. Where the system keeps telling you to wait and see while your body keeps getting louder.Today I'm talking about what I call autoimmunity before the autoimmunity. That phase where immune dysregulation is already running the show, but no one has given it a name yet. I'm walking you through why the referral cycle fails women in this phase, what pre-autoimmune patterns actually look like in real life, and why inflammation is never the root cause. It's the dashboard light.I'm also sharing the story of a patient I call Mandy. She did everything right. She went to every appointment. She waited through every referral. And every time, she left with some version of "you're fine." She wasn't fine. And once we stopped waiting for a diagnosis to give her permission to heal, everything changed.Inside this episode, we cover:Why the diagnosis lag is not prevention. It's delayed action.What the gray zone actually looks like in your body.Why the referral cycle is designed to rule out disease, not restore function.The internal stressors driving immune activation that no one is talking about.The three buckets: Reset, Repair, Rebuild, and why sequence matters.Why chasing inflammation keeps you stuck in the supplement cycle.If you've been bounced between specialists with no answers. If your imaging came back normal but your body didn't feel that way. If you've started wondering whether you're just being dramatic. You're not. Your physiology is loud, and it's been trying to tell you something.Share this episode with one woman who's been told she's fine when she knows she's not.

I sat down with Karen "ZuZu" Ziemer Armes — holistic health educator, author, and founder of Lilly Fields Retreat Center — who reversed her own epilepsy in her early 20s using food alone. In this conversation, we get into the four electrical systems your body runs on (and why most people have never heard of them), how mineral deficiencies silently drive chronic illness, why EMF exposure is one of the most overlooked culprits behind chronic symptoms, and what you can actually do about all of it — starting today. ZuZu has been teaching this stuff for over 30 years. She's practical, direct, and brings receipts — including live blood cell analysis that shows mold, parasites, and gut toxins circulating in real patients' blood. If you've been to doctor after doctor and still don't have answers, this one's for you. For the complete show notes, links and transcripts, visit inspiredliving.show/244

On the Evolving Wellness podcast, host Sarah Kleiner interviews Dr. Leland Stillman (general internist; Substack Dr. Stillman Uncensored) about leaving conventional medicine, speaking out on COVID and vaccines, and building a practice largely serving autoimmune, chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia, long COVID, and reported vaccine-injury patients; he says many symptoms cluster around pain, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and depression. Stillman argues lab values can fluctuate widely (often ~20% day to day, sometimes far more), making single readings, thyroid-replacement strategies based on free T3, and AI-generated direct-to-consumer lab reports misleading; he cites reference-range issues (e.g., cholesterol cutoffs) and emphasizes repeat testing and clinical context. He discusses his book The End of Autoimmunity, reporting a 2025 survey of 103 patients with self-reported gains in wellbeing, energy, sleep, and cognition, and outlines a “14 Day Reset” centered on morning sunlight, walking, hydration, earlier bedtime, and dimming lights.

What if your fertility struggles had nothing to do with your age and everything to do with what's quietly building up in your body? Dr. Ann Shippy has helped couples conceive naturally well into their 40s, including one patient who got pregnant at 47, using a method that most fertility doctors never talk about. In this episode, Dr. Shippy, a board-certified internal medicine physician, certified functional medicine practitioner, and author of The Preconception Revolution, explains how clearing your toxic load before conception can transform your chances of a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.

I sat down with Dr. Alice Honican — naturopath, acupuncturist, and bioenergetic practitioner at Longevity Health Center in Roswell, Georgia — to talk about a diagnostic approach that's been quietly getting results for decades but most people have never come across. Dr. Honican grew up in a naturopathic household, has been working with chronic and autoimmune patients since 2003, and uses three specific tools in her clinic: bio-energetic testing (the Quest 4), computer regulation thermography, and a bioterrain urinalysis. Together, they help identify — and prioritize — what's actually driving someone's condition, whether that's Lyme, mold, Epstein-Barr, leaky gut, or something else entirely. We also get into why patients who do "everything right" with their diet can still end up reacting to healthy foods, how to use binders and herbs without overwhelming your system, and what post-COVID is actually looking like in practice right now. If you've been through rounds of testing without clear answers, this one is worth a listen. For the complete show notes, links and transcripts, visit inspiredliving.show/243

Can mindset and habit change improve autoimmune disease outcomes like Hashimoto's and multiple sclerosis? Why is consistency so hard with chronic illness and fluctuating energy, and how do you build healthy habits that actually stick? On this episode of the She Talks Health Podcast, I sat down with Dr. Amy Behimer, a doctor of pharmacy-turned autoimmune health coach, to talk about why the chronic, progressive, debilitating story around diagnoses like MS isn't the whole picture of autoimmunity.Amy has had four autoimmune diagnoses since age 17, with her MS diagnosis at 27 becoming the wake-up call that led her to action to improve her quality of life. From this, she's built her autoimmune coaching business, developed supportive frameworks, and guided people to tap into their own expertise rather than be “another expert in a white coat.” We also talked about why people think needing help with the autoimmune journey means they've failed, when it can actually be the thing that helps you see your blind spots and put what you know into practice. Amy explained how redefining autoimmune health matters, because if health only means “absence of disease,” it can feel hopeless. Instead, we can focus on creating stronger metabolic, gut, emotional, and mental health while still acknowledging that our symptoms are real. Finally, we get into the critical step of consistency and habit change. Amy's “trust in the tiny” approach emphasizes that small actions matter more than all-or-nothing attitudes. Her ABC Habit Playbook makes habit shifts approachable and easy to implement in real life. She also walked through her Habit Hub framework that helps us reroute around roadblocks and learn to make friends with negative emotions without letting them define the quality of our lives.

Thyroid Symptoms, Normal Labs, and Root Causes: Dr. Kevin Smith on Hashimoto's, Functional Medicine, and Chronic Conditions | Conversations with a Chiropractor Episode Description In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Dr. Kevin Smith, a functional medicine practitioner and founder of the Chronic Conditions Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dr. Smith specializes in helping people better understand the root causes behind chronic health problems, including thyroid dysfunction, gut issues, autoimmunity, chronic pain, inflammation, peripheral neuropathy, insulin resistance, and other complex conditions. This conversation focuses heavily on thyroid health, especially the frustration many people feel when they have symptoms of hypothyroidism, but are told their labs are "normal." Dr. Smith explains why thyroid symptoms can involve far more than a simple TSH reading, and why many cases of hypothyroidism may be connected to Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune condition that affects the thyroid. Stephanie and Dr. Smith talk through common thyroid symptoms, including fatigue, hair loss, weak nails, digestive changes, sleep issues, brain fog, mood changes, infertility, and skin problems. They also discuss why a deeper look at the body may include the immune system, gut health, liver function, blood sugar, cortisol, sex hormones, inflammation, food sensitivities, unresolved infections, and nutrient status. The episode also explores the difference between managing symptoms and looking for the underlying reasons a person may not feel well. Dr. Smith shares how he uses detailed intake forms, comprehensive lab testing, metabolic questionnaires, food sensitivity testing, lifestyle changes, nutrition, supplements, and retesting to help patients better understand what is happening in their body. This conversation is educational and is not a replacement for personal medical care. If you are dealing with thyroid symptoms, autoimmune concerns, medication questions, or chronic health issues, work with a qualified healthcare provider who can evaluate your individual situation. In This Episode, Discover Common symptoms of hypothyroidism and low thyroid function Why "normal labs" may not tell the whole story The connection between Hashimoto's disease and thyroid dysfunction Why Dr. Smith describes many thyroid issues as immune system issues How the brain, pituitary gland, thyroid, liver, gut, and carrier proteins all play a role in thyroid function Why every cell in the body depends on thyroid hormone for energy regulation How chronic inflammation, blood sugar issues, cortisol, sex hormones, food sensitivities, and infections may affect thyroid physiology Why comprehensive lab testing may reveal patterns missed by basic panels The difference between food allergy testing and food sensitivity testing How lifestyle changes, nutrition, supplements, and retesting fit into functional medicine care Why patients may need to take a more active role in understanding their health Stay Connected & Explore Learn More About Dr. Kevin Smith & Metabolic Solutions: Dr. Kevin Smith / Metabolic Solutions: https://www.metabolicsolutions.net/ Free 2-Minute Metabolic Health Assessment: https://www.metabolicsolutions.net/metabolic-scorecard/ Chronic Conditions Center: https://www.chronicpa.com/ Connect with Conversations with a Chiropractor: Follow Us on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@ConversationswithaChiro Follow Dr. Stephanie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wautierwellness Email for show-related inquiries and sponsorships: drstephaniewautier@yahoo.com Want to be a guest on Conversations with a Chiropractor?

Ellen Kamhi, The Natural Nurse, talks wtih Casey Hibbard, the founder of the digital magazine Rebuilding My Health, and author of Overcoming Autoimmunity: Real Recoveries and What You Can Learn from Them. Casey has interviewed hundreds of people who have healed from chronic illness using root-cause approaches and shares the top steps that helped others rebuild their health.  www.rebuildingmyhealth.com

Kyle Hulbert was a college athlete who slept nine hours a night, ate clean, and still watched his health collapse — anxiety, depression, joint pain, gut issues, unexplained weight gain. Six doctors either told him he was making it up or couldn't find anything wrong. What finally changed things? A mercury diagnosis, chelation therapy, and getting his testosterone (which was at 159 — yes, really) properly addressed. Not another supplement. Not a cleanse. In this episode, Kyle and I talk about why untargeted detox protocols can make autoimmune symptoms significantly worse, why cilantro smoothies and juice cleanses can actually backfire if you have a real toxic burden, and what a smart, tested approach actually looks like. We also get into why roughly 1 in 3 people are dealing with a toxic load that clean eating and movement alone won't fix — and the order of operations that matters when you're trying to heal.

So many people with Hashimoto's are shopping at health food stores, choosing organic, avoiding processed foods, and making what they believe are healthier choices.But what if some of those “healthy” foods are not as clean as they seem?In this episode, Inna is joined by Jen Smiley, founder of the Read the Labels movement, to uncover what is really hiding in everyday foods. They break down how marketing can be misleading, why ingredient quality matters just as much as the type of food you are eating, and how hidden additives can drive inflammation.This conversation expands beyond food alone and looks at how everyday choices, from cookware to food sourcing, can either support or hinder your thyroid and immune health.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/whats-really-in-your-healthy-food-with-jen-smiley/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 If 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/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.com

Why do so many women with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism still feel exhausted, bloated, anxious, and foggy even when their labs look “normal” on thyroid medication? How do leaky gut, SIBO, H. pylori, parasites, chronic stress, and even gluten connect to thyroid inflammation and autoimmune flares? In this week's Thyroid Thursday episode, I lay out what I see every week in my practice: women doing “everything right,” taking their meds, eating right, exercising regularly, and still feeling awful. Many of them are still experiencing hair loss, stubborn weight changes, constipation and/or diarrhea, food sensitivities, anxiety, depression, and fatigue that sleep just doesn't help. They're told they're fine, yet their symptoms keep piling up, and they end up stuck between multiple specialists who never connect the dots. I explain what “leaky gut” actually means, why ongoing gut inflammation doesn't just stay in the gut, and how it can contribute to autoimmune flares like Hashimoto's. We talk about common drivers I see behind a compromised gut lining, like overgrowths and infections, chronic stress and low vagal tone, gluten's immune impact and molecular mimicry, nutrient depletion, and environmental exposures like mold.If you suspect leaky gut might be linked to your thyroid issues, or you have a lot of the symptoms mentioned in the episode, I leave you with some practical tips for getting tested, information on why we test and don't guess, and changes we can make after getting tested that will really move the needle on your health journey.Disclaimer: This information is being provided to you for educational and informational purposes only.

In Episode 116 of Strange, Rare & Peculiar, Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray recap the final Joint American Homeopathy Conference (JAHC), including Alastair's research workshop on AI in homeopathy and Denise's talk on autoimmune disease, chronic disease, and Hahnemann.From there, the conversation moves into a bigger question:What is homeopathy, really?Is it the remedies themselves—or the medicine and principles working together?Denise and Alastair explore why autoimmune and chronic disease challenge “kill the bug” thinking, why germ theory only takes us so far, and how a well-selected remedy may help give energy back toward life and vitality.Strange, Rare & Peculiar is a weekly podcast with Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray of the Institute for the Advancement of Homeopathy and the Academy of Homeopathy Education.This season, we're focusing on truth — what it means to Aude Sapere (“dare to know”) in homeopathy today. From Hahnemann's original insights to the realities of modern practice, research, and education, Denise and Alastair bring over 50 years of experience to conversations that challenge assumptions and invite curiosity.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky dives into the often-debated topic of gluten and grains—and their impact on thyroid health, especially in those with Graves' disease and Hashimoto's. While many people understand the need to avoid gluten, there's still a lot of confusion around whether gluten-free grains are truly safe during the healing process.Dr. Eric explains why gluten is a common trigger for autoimmune conditions, touching on mechanisms like increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut), immune activation, and molecular mimicry. He also breaks down the bigger picture of grains as a whole, including how compounds like phytates, lectins, and even mold exposure can interfere with gut healing—even when gluten isn't present. You'll also hear his perspective on controversial topics like sourdough bread, eating gluten in other countries, and whether glyphosate is to blame.He wraps up by emphasizing a practical, balanced approach: while some people may tolerate certain grains, removing both gluten and grains—at least temporarily—can significantly improve your chances of restoring gut health and achieving remission. If you want a clearer, more balanced understanding of gluten, grains, and thyroid autoimmunity, you'll get a lot out of this episode.

In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon speaks with Dayna Wylder about her transformative healing journey with multiple sclerosis and how it led her into the world of energy medicine, emotional healing, and higher consciousness.Together, they explore the deep connection between the mind, body, emotions, and energy field, and how symptoms may be messages from the subconscious rather than simply problems to suppress. Dayna shares insights into the five koshas, frequency healing, sound therapy, structured water, tapping, gratitude, and the importance of reconnecting with your higher self to support true healing.This conversation offers a thought-provoking perspective on chronic pain, autoimmunity, emotional patterns, subconscious beliefs, and spiritual healing.In this episode, we discuss:Dayna Wylder's healing journey with multiple sclerosisThe shift from physical medicine to information and energy medicineThe five koshas and the role of the bliss body in healingHow energetic imbalances may contribute to pain and illnessSymptoms as subconscious communication rather than random dysfunctionEmotional patterns, secondary gains, and their impact on healthSound therapy, structured water, tapping, and gratitude as healing toolsPurpose, surrender, stillness, and higher self-connection in recoveryFind Dayna Wylder:https://www.energyovermatter.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@energyovermatterConnect with Leigh:Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme - https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/consultation

If you've ever been told your labs look fine while feeling terrible, this one's for you. I sat down with Dr. Anju Mathur, a board-certified anti-aging and regenerative medicine physician who's spent nearly two decades figuring out what conventional medicine misses. She walks us through her 3-pillar framework for finding the real root causes of chronic illness—the things in your body that shouldn't be there, the things that should be there but aren't, and the things that are just out of balance. We also dig into what bioidentical hormones actually are (spoiler: they're not the same as "natural" hormones or Premarin), the very real risks of psychiatric drugs being handed out for everything from migraines to anxiety, and how she helps patients safely get off medications they don't need. Dr. Mathur also shares her own story of being a practicing MD with "normal" labs while barely able to function—and what finally turned it around.

Dr Brad Leech, PhD, first joined me on the show (#437) for a discussion to update the record on a common practice when addressing pathogens: “weed, seed, feed” which he believes can cause further damage. In this episode, we explore Autoimmunity and the 4 main ‘feeder lanes' into it, drawing on the thousands of hours Brad has spent researching it during his PhD and beyond. We coverLeaky GutDysbiosis in the gutImmune dysregulationSystemic Inflammation Gut testing: What is ‘good' testing? Essential nutrients in an autoimmune picture and how to ensure quality supplements.

Today, we're diving into autoimmunity—what it actually is, why it happens, and how ultra-processed foods may be contributing to the problem. Autoimmune disease is often misunderstood. Some will tell you diet has nothing to do with it. Others claim diet is the cure. The truth is more nuanced—and that's exactly what we explore in this episode. You'll learn: What autoimmunity really is (and why it's a case of mistaken identity) How inflammation and the immune system interact The critical role of gut health and the microbiome How ultra-processed foods disrupt intestinal integrity and immune signaling Why stress and hyper-palatable foods create a harmful cycle A practical experiment you can try to see how diet impacts your own biomarkers This isn't about selling supplements or pushing extremes. It's about understanding the science so you can make informed decisions about your health. As always, this episode is backed by scientific literature. Full citations are included below, with abbreviated versions available on shorter clips. If you're dealing with autoimmune symptoms—or just want to better understand how food impacts your immune system—this episode is for you.   Full citation list: Hall KD, et al. “Ultra-Processed Diets Cause Excess Calorie Intake and Weight Gain: An Inpatient Randomized Controlled Trial of Ad Libitum Food Intake.” Cell Metabolism, 2019.     Supports the formulation argument: UPF intake increased spontaneous calorie intake and weight gain even with diets matched for presented calories, sugar, fiber, sodium, and macronutrients. This is your anchor for “hyper-palatability and formulation change physiology, not just psychology.”   Narula N, et al. “Association of Ultra-Processed Food Intake With Risk of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Prospective Cohort Study.” BMJ, 2021.     Best human disease-level citation for the episode. Supports the claim that higher UPF intake is associated with greater IBD risk, making the gut-immune link clinically meaningful rather than purely theoretical.   Chassaing B, et al. “Randomized Controlled-Feeding Study of Dietary Emulsifier Carboxymethylcellulose Reveals Detrimental Impacts on the Gut Microbiota and Metabolome.” Gastroenterology, 2022.     Best emulsifier paper for human translation. Supports the claim that CMC can perturb the microbiota and metabolome and may contribute to barrier-hostile gut ecology in susceptible individuals.   Daniel N, et al. “Human Intestinal Microbiome Determines Individualized Responses to Dietary Emulsifier Carboxymethylcellulose.” Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2024.     Useful nuance paper. Supports the point that emulsifier sensitivity is not identical across all people and that host-microbiome context matters.   Shil A, et al. “Artificial Sweeteners Disrupt Tight Junctions and Barrier Function in the Intestinal Epithelium Through Activation of the Sweet Taste Receptor T1R3.” Nutrients, 2020.     Best citation for the “sugar-free does not mean barrier-neutral” point. Supports direct epithelial barrier effects of common artificial sweeteners in experimental models.   Peng L, et al. “Butyrate Enhances the Intestinal Barrier by Facilitating Tight Junction Assembly via Activation of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase in Caco-2 Cell Monolayers.” Journal of Nutrition, 2009.     Classic mechanistic citation for butyrate. Supports the claim that loss of fermentable fiber and reduced butyrate production can weaken barrier function.   Kumar KP, et al. “The Interplay Between the Microbiota, Diet and T Regulatory Cells in Maintaining Intestinal Homeostasis.” Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023.     Useful for the tolerance language. Supports the argument that diet and microbial metabolites shape Treg biology and mucosal tolerance.   Haase S, et al. “Sodium Chloride Triggers Th17 Mediated Autoimmunity.” Frontiers in Immunology, 2019.     Key citation for high salt and autoimmune-prone immune skewing. Supports the claim that excess salt can promote pathogenic Th17 biology relevant to autoimmune disease.   Wilck N, et al. “Salt-Responsive Gut Commensal Modulates TH17 Axis and Disease.” Nature, 2017.     Strong bridge between salt, microbiome, and Th17 signaling. Supports the point that salt is not just a blood pressure story; it is also an immune-story.   Vitales-Noyola M, et al. “Analysis of Sodium Chloride Intake and Treg/Th17 Lymphocytes in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.” Journal of Immunology Research, 2018.     Helpful human-facing citation for salt and immune skewing in autoimmune populations. Use cautiously, but it strengthens translation from theory to autoimmune terrain.   Phuong-Nguyen K, et al. “Advanced Glycation End-Products and Their Effects on Gut Health.” Nutrients, 2023.     Good review for the AGE section. Supports the argument that AGE-rich processed foods may worsen oxidative stress, microbiota balance, and barrier function.   Chen Y, et al. “Dietary Advanced Glycation End-Products Elicit Toxicological Effects by Disrupting Gut Microbiota and Increasing Colon Permeability in Rats.” Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, 2021.     Useful mechanistic support for the processing-chemistry section. Reinforces the claim that dietary AGEs can alter microbial ecology and increase permeability.   Monteiro CA, et al. “Ultra-Processed Foods: What They Are and How to Identify Them.” Public Health Nutrition, 2019.   Dr. Brendan McCarthy is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center in Arizona. With over two decades of experience, he's helped thousands of patients navigate hormonal imbalances using bioidentical HRT, nutrition, and root-cause medicine. He's also taught and mentored other physicians on integrative approaches to hormone therapy, weight loss, fertility, and more.

Together, they examine the clinical science behind mycotoxin illness — how mold-derived toxins enter the body, why they are frequently missed or misdiagnosed, and how they may be driving some of the most prevalent and poorly understood chronic conditions of our time. Dr. Campbell shares the evidence base connecting mycotoxins to neurological diseases including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, ALS, and Parkinson's disease, as well as autoimmune disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, autism, and reproductive health conditions. He explains the critical difference between urine and serum mycotoxin testing, clarifies what IgG and IgE antibodies actually indicate about current versus past exposure, and outlines a clinically validated approach to diagnosis and treatment through My Myco Lab. He also addresses environmental sources of mycotoxin exposure, the first rule of toxicology in clinical practice, and why accurate testing is the foundation of any meaningful recovery pathway. Dr. Andrew Campbell is a Medical Clinician, Director, Officer, Advisor, and Medical Consultant, also Editor-in-Chief of several journals and research studies, and was recently selected as Top Medical Consultant of the Year for 2020 by the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP) for his outstanding leadership, dedication, and commitment to the healthcare profession.

What if your body's repair system isn't broken, it's just been put to sleep? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Dan Pardi, Chief Health Officer at Qualia Life Sciences and a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from Leiden University and Stanford. We get into what stem cells actually are, why they decline with age, and — most importantly — what you can do about it starting today. Dan explains why stem cell exhaustion is one of the 15 hallmarks of aging, and why the real problem isn't that you're running out of stem cells, it's that the environment they live in becomes too inflamed and damaged for them to activate. We talk about the everyday habits that support your stem cell niche (sleep, sunlight, walking, circadian rhythms), the science behind Qualia's new Stem Cell product and its four-day monthly protocol, and how to stack it with their senolytic and NAD products for a more complete healthspan strategy. I also share my own experience with autologous stem cell therapy — and why I believe what you do daily matters more than any single treatment.

Celebrate Thyolove's 1st birthday with SavingsUse code BIRTHDAY at checkout this weekend only and save.There's something I started noticing over this past year that I didn't expect.Not just how people with thyroid issues felt physically… but how they felt about what they were doing.Because with Hashimoto's, it's usually not about not knowing what to do. It's what happens a few days or a few weeks in, when everything starts to feel like a lot and things slowly fall off.In this episode, I'm breaking down why that happens, what actually makes something easier to stay consistent with, and what I've seen change when that piece is finally in place.Because there's a difference between something being “good for you”… and something that actually fits into your life in a way that you keep doing it.If you've been feeling a little stop-and-start with your routine, or like things just don't stay consistent the way you want them to, this will shift how you think about it.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/thyroid-healing-hashimotos/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 If 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/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.com Celebrate Thyolove's 1st birthday with SavingsUse code BIRTHDAY at checkout this weekend only and save.

Welcome to Episode 303 of Autism Parenting Secrets. Today we're diving into an important and timely topic… aluminum exposure. My guest is Dr. Brian Hooker, a friend of the show and Chief Scientific Officer at Children's Health Defense. He's spent decades researching environmental factors that impact neurodevelopment and helping translate complex science into practical insight for parents. Aluminum isn't something most parents think much about… and when they do, they're often told it's not a concern. But there's more to understand. Because this isn't just about where aluminum shows up… It's about how it behaves once it enters the body, particularly in relation to inflammation and the brain. Brian shares what his latest research reveals, including why aluminum adjuvants stood out, how this form of aluminum is different, and why timing during early development matters. This is about clarity… so you can make more informed decisions for your child. The secret this week is… Take Aluminum Exposure Seriously You'll Discover: Why aluminum adjuvants stood out as the most concerning exposure in recent research (3:36) How aluminum nanoparticles can travel through the body and reach the brain (5:55) The biological mechanisms linking aluminum exposure to inflammation and brain impact (11:30) Why timing of exposure during early development is critical (27:32) Practical ways parents can think about reducing exposure and making informed decisions (30:14) About Our Guest: Dr. Brian Hooker is the Chief Scientific Officer at Children's Health Defense and a leading researcher on environmental factors impacting neurodevelopment. He has authored and co-authored numerous scientific papers examining vaccine safety, toxic exposures, and autism, and is widely known for his work translating complex science into actionable insights for parents.

Your thyroid controls your energy, your metabolism, your testosterone, your mood, and your ability to think clearly. Most doctors are testing it wrong and treating it wrong, and this episode tells you exactly what to do instead. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with McCall McPherson, a physician associate, TEDx speaker, and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic, Modern Weight Loss, and the advocacy platform Thyroid Nation. McPherson has been honored on the 2024 and 2025 Inc. 5000 lists and named a 2025 Top 500 Inc. Female Founder. She hosts the Modern Thyroid and Wellness podcast and built her entire practice around thyroid care after being failed by conventional medicine while managing her own hypothyroidism. She treats patients nationwide via telemedicine and has become one of the most trusted voices in functional medicine thyroid care. Dave and McCall expose why standard TSH-only testing catches just 1 to 2 percent of actual thyroid variation, why the medication most doctors prescribe (Synthroid/levothyroxine) fails a massive percentage of patients, and why T3 is the active hormone that mainstream medicine has been trained to fear without good reason. They also get into how fluoride in tap water, bromine in American wheat, mold exposure, dairy, gluten, and oxalates directly suppress thyroid function and drive autoimmunity. If you want to optimize your metabolism, protect your mitochondria, support brain optimization, and stop leaving your longevity on the table, thyroid is the first domino. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, human performance, anti-aging, functional medicine, supplements, sleep optimization, and using smarter not harder strategies to take control of your biology. You'll Learn: Why testing TSH alone misses thyroid dysfunction in the vast majority of people What a full thyroid panel actually includes and the optimal ranges for T4, T3, and reverse T3 Why T4-only medications like Synthroid fail and what works better How low thyroid directly tanks testosterone and libido in both men and women The environmental triggers destroying your thyroid, including fluoride, bromine, mold, and inflammatory foods How Hashimoto's connects to broader autoimmune risk and what drives it into remission Why kids are being misdiagnosed with ADHD when the real issue is hypothyroidism The supplements and cofactors (selenium, zinc, magnesium, ashwagandha, tyrosine) that support thyroid activation How thyroid optimization connects to metabolism, dementia prevention, cardiovascular health, and economic outcomes When to use T3 only vs. a T3/T4 combination, and how to know if your dose is off Thank you to our sponsors!
