In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, welcomes David Altman, MD, dermatologist at Midwest Center of Dermatology in Warren, MI, to review recent case studies that highlight unexpected presentations, treatment responses, and immune system interplay in dermatology. The first case focuses on a 34-year-old patient with severe, recalcitrant Hailey-Hailey disease. After multiple failed therapies, including antibiotics, corticosteroids, apremilast, and low-dose naltrexone, she achieved near-complete clearance within 12 weeks on dupilumab. Drs Altman and Del Rosso share their thoughts on why a drug targeting type 2 inflammation might be effective in a condition traditionally considered structural, drawing parallels to reports in Darier disease. Next, the conversation shifts to an unusual immune response observed in a patient with well-controlled psoriasis on IL-17 inhibitors who developed widespread atopic dermatitis. Dr Altman describes this as a “cytokine shift,” where suppression of IL-17 may upregulate IL-4 pathways, mirroring the reverse effect sometimes seen with IL-4 inhibition. While uncommon, such effects are now recognized in prescribing information, and the patient improved after transitioning to a broader-acting JAK inhibitor (upadacitinib). In the final case, a patient with Crohn's disease developed rapidly progressing alopecia areata while on infliximab. Switching to tofacitinib improved hair growth but worsened gastrointestinal symptoms. Following colectomy, both the Crohn's disease and alopecia resolved, highlighting the role of systemic inflammation in driving skin disease. Tune in to the full episode to hear more about these unique cases, the underlying immunologic mechanisms, and how lessons from complex cases can inform everyday dermatologic practice.

Send us a textIn this podcast, we talk about the findings of a recent study published in The Lancet regarding the benefits of a plant-based diet for people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). We discuss the significance of including more plant-based foods in the diet, the importance of fiber for gut health, and practical steps for gradually introducing fiber into the diet. We have been talking about including more fiber and plant based foods into the diet for a long time and many research studies support this! Takeaways-- A plant-based diet can significantly reduce the risk of developing Crohn's and ulcerative colitis.- Individuals with IBD may experience fewer hospitalizations and surgeries when following a plant-based diet.- The study included a large sample size, enhancing the reliability of its findings.- Incorporating plants into the diet is crucial for gut health.- Fiber intake is linked to reduced flare-ups in IBD patients.- A gradual approach to increasing fiber intake is recommended.- Soluble fibers are often better tolerated by those with IBD.- Support and guidance can help individuals transition to a more plant-based diet.- The importance of plants in nutrition has been consistently supported by research.Chapters:00:00- Introduction to the Plant-Based Diet Research02:25- Impact of Plant-Based Diet on IBD05:14- Understanding Fiber and Gut Health07:14- Practical Steps for Introducing Fiber09:35- Encouragement and Support for Dietary ChangesFollow us on instagram @crohns_and_colitis_dietitiansFollow us on youtube @thecrohnscolitisdietitiansWe love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel.

When our youngest son was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, the prognosis was heartbreaking — a lifetime of powerful medications, possible stunted growth, and no real cure. But we believed God had a better plan. This is our real-life story of hope, faith, and miraculous healing.We navigated countless prayers, an emotional diagnosis, and the search for alternatives to a pharmaceutical treatment. We were led to a nutrition-based healing approach, a God-appointed health coach, and a series of divine confirmations — including an unforgettable “Cornelius” moment straight from Acts 10. Today, our son is thriving: running track, building strength, and living symptom-free.If you or someone you love is facing Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or another autoimmune condition, this testimony will encourage you to believe for more. God still heals. Your body can recover. And your story isn't over.Support the showVisit our website for more information on our ministry.https://theunseenstory.org/

Send us a textJoyce Jackson attended a very small private school in Selah, Washington and enjoyed playing team sports for fun. When she moved to a public high school her senior year, she made the varsity volleyball team, and this sparked her lifelong engagement with fitness. Diagnosed with Crohn's disease at 23, Joyce turned adversity into purpose by becoming a certified aerobics instructor and later a personal trainer, teaching seniors, military-bound youth, and athletes of all ages. She has worked in gyms, private homes, and virtually—adapting during COVID with creative solutions like soup can workouts. Now 61 and semi-retired, she coaches group classes, strength trains, and golfs 2–3 times a week with her husband. She also paddleboards, plays pickleball, and remains deeply involved in fitness education. Her go-getter mindset, combined with personal experience overcoming chronic illness, makes her a role model for staying active, aging well, and customizing movement to every body.

In 2019, I became very ill. I experienced severe reflux, which made my voice raspy and left me with a constant sore throat. At times, I would wake up at night gasping for breath, and it would take several minutes to regain control of my breathing. I went from doctor to doctor... what was happening to me? Finally, someone diagnosed me with GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). But hold on, doesn't that only happen to overweight older men? Apparently not. To improve, I had to learn to take care of my gut health. I had to stop eating dinner so late. I needed at least three hours between my last meal and when I would go "horizontal" for sleep. I learned that digestion starts "in the mouth," so I had to slow down how quickly I ate. Today's podcast features guest Dane Johnson, who faced life-threatening digestive issues. He struggled with severe Crohn's disease and colitis, leading to months of hospitalization. Now, he has learned how to heal and shares his tips for rebuilding gut health in this episode. ______ Vitali Skin Care Have you heard about copper peptides? I hadn't either, until I listened to a podcast about the power of copper peptides with Debbi Barber, the founder of Vitali Regenerative Skin Care. I was intrigued by their discussion about copper peptides and how they can help soften scars, regenerate skin, and even improve the appearance of crepey skin. It's not often that I stop what I'm doing, read research, and order the products, but that's precisely what I did! And then I emailed Vitali Skin Care and asked for a coupon for my community. In hindsight, I should have asked for the coupon for my order, but nonetheless, you get 20% off your order! I'm trying body creme and skin serum.

You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going. Today, we're focusing on an often-overlooked peptide called VIP, short for Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide. The name might sound technical, but this peptide plays some important roles in the body. It helps regulate inflammation, supports nerve function, improves blood flow by relaxing blood vessels, and may even have benefits for things like chronic pain, including back pain. Let's get into it. What is VIP? We've talked about VIP before on a previous podcast, but it's been awhile and I'd like to start with the basics as a refresher.  VIP is a 28-amino acid neuropeptide that acts like a signaling molecule in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Think of it like a chemical messenger that can influence a lot of different body systems. VIP belongs to the glucagon/secretin peptide superfamily, and it's found throughout the body, including your brain, intestines, lungs, and immune cells. Now, what does VIP actually do? Well it does quite a bit. VIP works by binding to specific receptors on cells—called VPAC1 and VPAC2—which trigger a chain reaction inside the body through something known as the cyclic AMP pathway. Once activated:  It relaxes smooth muscles, which helps open up blood vessels (vasodilation) and airways (bronchodilation) It stimulates secretion of water and electrolytes in places like the gut and pancreas—so yes, it helps with digestion too It's a major immune modulator, calming inflammation by regulating immune cell behavior  Neuroprotective role, supporting the survival and adaptability of neurons VIP in Medicine – What's the Buzz? VIP has been studied in a variety of conditions. Inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's Neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Autoimmune diseases like osteoarthritis Respiratory conditions like pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or due to mold toxicity But today, we're zooming in on something more tangible for a lot of people—back pain. VIP and Back Pain – What Do We Know? Let's get into the science here. VIP has recently caught attention for its potential role in intervertebral disc degeneration, which is one of the top causes of chronic low back pain. A 2024 study found that VIP receptors were significantly reduced in degenerated human discs—which is kind of a red flag. When VIP was given to mice for four weeks, researchers saw slowed degeneration, better structural proteins like aggrecan, and overall healthier discs on imaging. Promising, right? But here's the catch—this was a preclinical animal study. We still need human trials to confirm it works outside the lab. VIP and Joint Pain And when it comes to VIP and joint pain, there's a bit more research on VIP and osteoarthritis, especially when the spine is involved. In OA models, VIP was shown to lower pro-inflammatory cytokines—those molecules that contribute to pain and make joints hurt. But here's where it gets complicated: some studies report that VIP accumulation in joints might actually worsen pain. So... it's a bit of a paradox. So what's the takeaway? VIP can be helpful—but its role in pain management seems to depend on how much, where, and what kind of pain we're talking about. VIP in Peptide Therapy – Real-World Use? In peptide clinics—especially those using integrative or regenerative medicine approaches—VIP is sometimes part of treatment protocols for nerve-related pain and inflammation. It's often paired with other peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500. You can find some clinics that list VIP as a go-to for chronic pain, including back pain. But here's the reality check, clinical data is limited, success is anecdotal, it's pricey and results can vary from person to person. So while VIP might help reduce inflammation and slow tissue degeneration, it's not a substitute for tried-and-true pain management peptides like BPC-157.

Hindy shares how she felt her life was over when got diagnosed, what it means to pursue a diagnosis and advocate for yourself in medicine, the decision to keep things a secret and how her diagnosis affected her self worth. Hindy in her own words: I have a very interesting life journey. In short; at age 16 I got extremely sick and was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, and I've been on that journey ever since. Then, at age 17 my parents separated. I was an extremely shy and scared to open up type of girl before I got sick, and throughout my journey I've learned to open up more and more. I have a lot to say on how that happened and why I did that work, but I've become so open that I now have a public Instagram page where I share my journey with chronic illness - a first in the chassidish/heimish community for sure, and a first for Crohn's in the frum world. @hopeinhindy Click here to join the Impact Fashion Whatsapp Status Click here to see my collection of dresses.

Stacey is seemingly living the dream. Working as a social media manager and patient advocate for Rare Patient Voice, she balances work with being a wife, mother, dog mom, caregiver, and pursuing her goal of a happy healthy home on the islands of Hawaii. For most people the normal struggles with preparing for your oldest to graduate high school and your youngest to enter middle school are enough. Stacey has taken on those challenges as well as health related twists and turns, not only with herself, but also her daughter.  Stacey and her daughter Iris had parallel health crises on the small island that they call home. When her daughter was just 4 days old she had blood in her diapers and that started a journey that ended in an overnight flight to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). She was eventually diagnosed with Crohn's Disease around her third birthday. This, alongside allergies to dairy, tree nuts, peanuts, and eggs made her growth and development an uphill battle for much of her childhood before current treatments like biologics proved more effective. Before her daughter's diagnosis Stacey had been thinking her fatigue was just the stress of working and raising two kids. That was until the day she found a lump in her neck and was quickly diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Thankfully surgery was quick and successful, but the long term effects of having half of a thyroid continue to this day.  These experiences have led Stacey to the position she holds now, working for Rare Patient Voice. They work to connect patients with rare diseases and companies looking to do focus groups and surveys about the lived experience of people with rare and chronic illnesses. This work connecting patients to paid opportunities to share their experiences as well as acting as a patient advocate has allowed Stacey to use her personal experience to create community around the world, centered around health challenges that people often experience in isolation.
