If you've been eating well, doing all the right things, and still not feeling better — this one's for you. I sat down with Stephanie Nelson, a trauma-informed somatic coach and founder of The Stress Healers, to talk about something most health conversations completely miss: what happens in the body when stress and trauma don't get processed. Stephanie was diagnosed with arthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis in both hips at age 12. She spent years trying to heal through diet, yoga, and supplements — and while those helped, it wasn't until she discovered nervous system and somatic work that things actually shifted. In this conversation, we get into: • Why your nervous system — not your diet — is the master coordinator of your health • What fascia actually is and why it's your body's richest sensory organ • How perfectionism, procrastination, and anxiety are all adaptive survival strategies (not character flaws) • The three body languages we're born with — and how Western culture teaches us to ignore two of them • Why the goal of somatic work isn't to be calm — it's to have *choice* • A simple 10-second practice you can do today to signal safety to your nervous system Stephanie also shares how her forever-free "Resourced" membership is a great starting point if you want to actually try this work.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. David Chernoff, Chief Medical Officer of Setpoint Medical.

Dr. David Chernoff, Chief Medical Officer of Setpoint Medical, discusses electrically driven vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) as a “neuroimmune modulation” approach to autoimmune and inflammatory disease. Chernoff explains the vagus nerve's sensory role in monitoring organs and signaling the brainstem and spleen to regulate immune responses, and how precise stimulation can reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines without immunosuppression. Setpoint's miniaturized, wireless, MRI-compatible implant is placed in an outpatient 45-minute neck procedure and delivers one minute of daily stimulation titrated to an upper comfort level; long-term safety is supported by prior surgical experience and a 242-patient blinded RA study with two-year data, leading to FDA approval for rheumatoid arthritis. The discussion covers add-on use with medications, potential steroid tapering, reimbursement, and research in Crohn's disease, relapsing MS (vision and remyelination), and other conditions, including psoriatic arthritis, lupus, and neurodegenerative diseases.

En este episodio de la Serie de Expertos de la Fundación de Lupus de América, nos centramos en las nuevas guías de tratamiento para el lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) publicadas por el Colegio Americano de Reumatología (American College of Rheumatology). Nuestro invitado, el Dr. Jorge Sánchez-Guerrero, explica la importancia de estas guías para ofrecer recomendaciones basadas en evidencia orientadas a una atención personalizada del paciente, así como el proceso de elaboración y actualización de dichas guías y los cambios clave que priorizan un control óptimo de la enfermedad y la reducción del uso prolongado de corticosteroides. El Dr. Sánchez-Guerrero destaca la necesidad de la participación activa del paciente y de una buena comunicación con los profesionales de la salud para garantizar un manejo eficaz del lupus.

If you've been told your labs are fine but you still feel terrible, this episode is for you. Dr. Pamela Cipriano is an ILADS-trained nurse practitioner who spent ten years watching her own son deteriorate from undiagnosed Lyme disease — dismissed by doctor after doctor — before she finally figured out what was wrong and healed him herself. In this conversation, she breaks down why standard Lyme tests are practically designed to produce false negatives, what the HNK-1 natural killer cell count reveals that most labs miss, and how a co-infection called Bartonella is quietly being misdiagnosed as ALS. She also gets into the Lyme biofilm problem — why even IV antibiotics can't touch it — and the stevia + serrapeptase protocol that finally broke through for her son. Plus, her emerging research on ivermectin for Bartonella, and what she's seeing with seizures triggered by Herxheimer reactions. If you or someone you love has unresolved neurological symptoms, autoimmune markers that don't quite add up, or a history of tick exposure, this is a conversation worth your full attention.

What if the word uncurable really just means a doctor has run out of ideas? This episode dares you to question that verdict and discover a functional medicine approach built on gut health, trace minerals, and nervous system repair that has helped many people defy impossible odds and rewrite a hopeless diagnosis into a story of hope.Host Jenn Trepeck welcomes Dr. Aaron Hartman to Salad with a Side of Fries, where he shares how chronic illness recovery starts with the basics everyone overlooks, and why patients in remission from conditions like multiple sclerosis prove healing is possible even when doctors say there is nothing more they can do.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Why the label “incurable” often just means idiopathic (unknown cause) and how functional medicine looks deeper✅ How gut health, sleep, and stress form the foundation of true chronic illness recovery✅ The connection between hypermobility, dysautonomia, mast cell activation, and autoimmune disease✅ Why organ meats, bone broth, and trace minerals support the nervous system and healingThe Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry.

I sat down with Natalie Novak, co-founder of Kindness Powered Skincare and certified oncology esthetician, who spent years battling debilitating symptoms — constant anxiety, RA-like joint pain, vision problems — while doctors told her nothing was wrong. The culprit turned out to be her breast implants, which were full of mold. After having them removed in 2018, her RA symptoms vanished almost immediately. Her eyesight returned the next day. But Natalie's story doesn't stop there. Long before her own health crisis, she'd already been on a mission to clean up the beauty industry — sparked by watching a skincare product literally eat through carpet and padding at a Nordstrom stockroom. In this episode, we talk about why what you put ON your body matters just as much as what you put IN it, how the FDA hasn't updated the Cosmetics Act since 1938, and why "it's sold in a store" doesn't mean it's safe. Natalie also walks us through a simple 3-step skincare ritual — cleansing oil, probiotic toner, and the right face cream — designed specifically to support women dealing with autoimmunity, hormonal shifts, and sensitive, compromised skin.

Send us Fan MailFor decades we've treated autoimmune diseases by suppressing the immune system - but what if we've been approaching the problem all wrong? What if, instead of lifelong immunosuppression, we could selectively eliminate the immune cells causing disease and allow the immune system to rebuild itself? Today we're exploring one of the hottest areas in biotechnology: T-cell engagers and the possibility of an "immune reset."Dr. Jeffrey Jones, MD, MPH is Chief Medical Officer of Cullinan Therapeutics ( https://cullinantherapeutics.com/ ) and one of the leaders helping bring the power of T-cell engager therapies beyond cancer and into autoimmune disease. With more than two decades of experience spanning academia and industry, Dr. Jones has been at the forefront of clinical development in hematology, oncology, and immunology.Prior to joining Cullinan, Dr. Jones served as Vice President of Global Drug Development at Bristol Myers Squibb, leading programs in lymphoma and myeloid diseases and helping guide the lifecycle strategy for Reblozyl®. Earlier, he held leadership positions at Celgene, where he developed clinical strategies across lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia portfolios.Before entering industry, Dr. Jones spent more than a decade at The Ohio State University, where he led the Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia clinical research program and served as Associate Professor of Internal Medicine. Today, he is helping pioneer a new generation of T-cell engagers designed not to continuously suppress the immune system, but potentially to reset it - opening the possibility of durable, treatment-free remission for diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, lupus nephritis, and autoimmune cytopenias.Dr. Jones earned his MD from the University of Michigan Medical School, an MPH from the University of Texas School of Public Health, and an MBA from The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business.#AutoimmuneDisease #Lupus #RheumatoidArthritis #Immunology #TCellEngagers #Biotechnology #DrugDevelopment #PrecisionMedicine #ImmuneSystem #ImmuneReset #ClinicalTrials #Biotech #HealthcareInnovation #FutureOfMedicine #ProgressPotentialPossibilitiesSupport the show

How do we treat Lupus? A rheumatology 101 live with Dr. Amigues, a board-certified rheumatologist.What is the real goal of lupus treatment?Many people believe lupus medications are meant to be taken forever—but that's not always the plan. In this video, Dr. Isabelle Amigues explains why rheumatologists aim for full remission as quickly as possible, then work toward maintaining disease control with the lowest effective dose of medication.You'll learn:What "remission" means in lupusWhy treatment is individualized for every patientWhen doctors may consider reducing medicationsWhy the goal is disease control with the least medication necessaryHow research is shaping the future of lupus careEvery lupus patient responds differently, which is why personalized treatment and close follow-up are essential.

I was diagnosed with IBS about 10 years before I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis — and I had no idea the two were connected. That's exactly why I wanted to have this conversation with Izabella Wentz, pharmacist and founder of Thyroid Pharmacist.Izabella was told her IBS was just stress during pharmacy school. She ignored it — until Hashimoto's showed up years later and forced her to dig deeper. What she found became the foundation of her work, and now her newest book: IBS: Finding and Treating the Root Cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. We talk about why IBS so often shows up years before an autoimmune diagnosis, the gut testing that actually finds answers (and why a colonoscopy alone won't cut it), which foods and additives are quietly making things worse, why SIBO keeps coming back if you're not addressing the real drivers, and how her husband went from a brand-new UC diagnosis to full remission in under eight weeks. If you've been told your gut issues are just stress, or you're managing an autoimmune condition and still struggling — this one is worth your time.

Emerging from the frostbitten streets of Stockholm, Sweden, Dysthen introduces a compelling new voice in the music scene. This raw, enigmatic entity channels the profound duality of existence, exploring themes of beauty and decay, nature and numbness, and the pervasive gloom that accompanies the gradual disintegration of the self. Dysthen forges a unique path, eschewing clichés in pursuit of emotional authenticity, natural isolation, and the resonant silence of dissonance. Their highly anticipated self-titled EP, "Lupus and Bledbloom," serves as a profound meditation on the dual nature of suffering and the peculiar solace it can offer.Official Links:Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/dysthenPassionate about metal?

My guest Nicole Bell is the CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics and author of What Lurks in the Woods. She came to this work after her husband's Lyme disease — along with co-infections Bartonella and Babesia — was misdiagnosed as early-onset Alzheimer's. He passed away in 2022. In this episode, we talk about why the standard Lyme test misses so many people (hint: it's 30-year-old technology that relies on antibody detection from a pathogen that actively suppresses your immune system), what co-infections like Bartonella and Babesia actually do to the brain and body, and how Galaxy Diagnostics is using urine-based antigen testing and digital PCR to find what older tests can't. We also get into the myths that keep people from getting the right diagnosis — including why only 14% of Lyme patients get the classic bullseye rash, why Lyme is present in all 50 states, and why finishing a round of doxycycline doesn't mean you're in the clear. If you or someone you love is dealing with unexplained mood changes, cognitive decline, chronic fatigue, anxiety, or joint pain — this conversation is worth your full attention.

In this episode of the Lupus Foundation of America's The Expert Series podcast, we focus on how steroids are an essential and often life-saving treatment for people with lupus, even though the new SLE guidelines recommend using them as little as possible. Our guest speaker, Dr. Megan Lockwood, walks us through why steroids play such a critical role in lupus care, the potential risks and downsides of prolonged use and why limiting their use whenever possible is equally important. We also discuss how patients can work with their health care providers to develop a thoughtful, personalized steroid plan and have productive conversations with their doctors about managing steroid treatment.Sign up to receive emails from the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) when new episodes are published: https://support.lupus.org/site/SPageNavigator/email_subscribe_expert_series.htmlThis episode will help you understand:How steroid mechanism of actionThe importance of minimizing steroid useShort and long-term side effects of steroidsAlternatives to steroids in lupus treatmentSafe steroid tapering strategiesFuture treatments and research developmentsRelated Resources:Ask a Lupus Health Educator (LFA): https://www.lupus.org/care-support/ask-a-health-educatorFind Support Near You (LFA): https://www.lupus.org/resources/find-support-near-youNational Resource Center on Lupus (LFA): https://www.lupus.org/resourcesThe Expert Series (LFA): https://www.lupus.org/resources/lupus-the-expert-seriesMedications Used to Treat Lupus (LFA): https://www.lupus.org/resources/medications-used-to-treat-lupus

After 50 years of unhealthy patterns, can someone truly begin again—and heal?In this inspiring episode of Metabolic Matters, host Christina Mason sits down with Linda Riccio, OT/L, FAOTA, and Dr. Yvonne Teverbaugh, DSc., ND, PhD, MSHN, for a powerful, hope-filled conversation about resilience, intuition, and whole-person healing that goes beyond symptoms and diagnoses.Linda shares her extraordinary journey—from weighing over 350 pounds and becoming bedridden at age 50 due to an undiagnosed chronic illness to emerging as a healthcare innovator, certified grief counselor, and advocate for lifestyle-based healing. After years of unexplained symptoms, she was diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, severe hormonal dysfunction, a brain meningioma and genetic coagulation problems. Determined to understand her body, Linda began working with Dr. Yvonne, opening the door to profound healing and self-discovery.Together, they explore the complexities of chronic illness, the necessity of individualized care, and the patience and self-compassion required for true transformation and lasting healing. Linda reflects on her evolution from being disconnected from her body to hearing its wisdom loud and clear—and now helping others build that same awareness, resilience, and self-trust.At the heart of this episode is the enduring partnership and friendship between Linda and Dr. Yvonne. Over more than a decade, they have navigated physical illness, emotional healing, grief, nutrition, and the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit. This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing is not instant—it unfolds over time through small, intentional steps. As Linda puts it, “When progress is personal, it is unstoppable.”Connect with our Guests:Linda Riccio, OT/L, FAOTA thenaturalpathtowellness.net Yvonne Teverbaugh, DSc., ND, PhD, MSHN thenaturalpathtowellness.net About Your Host: Christina Mason is a lifelong storyteller, educator, and truth-seeker whose journey—from music and teaching to entrepreneurship—has always been guided by curiosity.

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

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.

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.

In the second part of this Joint Ventures episode on B cell therapies in rheumatic disease, hosts Jack Arnold, MBBS, PhD, and Rihards Buss, MD, return with guest Lucy Carter, MBBS, PhD, to move beyond the question of how to deplete B cells and toward the more conceptually challenging problem of what happens after depletion — and whether ianalumab's dual mechanism of action represents the most rational answer yet developed.The episode examines the biologic rationale behind combining rituximab with belimumab, reviews the landmark NEPTUNUS Sjögren disease trials in which ianalumab became the first targeted therapy to meet a phase 3 primary endpoint in the disease, and discusses how emerging therapies may ultimately reshape treatment selection, steroid reduction strategies, and long-term management of autoimmune conditions including Sjögren disease and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Could lupus and Sjögren's symptoms improve in just weeks with the right diet and lifestyle changes? Dr. Brooke Goldner joins Chuck Carroll to share the remarkable stories of patients with autoimmune disease who experienced dramatic recoveries after following her Goodbye Autoimmune Disease protocol. This conversation is especially personal for me. There are people close to me who have struggled for decades with many of the same issues Dr. Goldner and I discuss in this interview. I shared this episode with one of them before releasing it publicly, and they were blown away by what she had to say. Dr. Goldner discusses her 2024 case series involving three women with both lupus and Sjögren's syndrome who reported symptom remission within weeks after following a raw, whole-food, plant-based nutrition protocol. She also shares her own story of being diagnosed with aggressive lupus as a teenager, facing kidney failure and mini strokes, and later living symptom-free for more than 20 years.

Season FIVE Episode FOURTEEN of the Your Story Our Fight® podcast welcomes Brett Kohler. Brett Kohler is a musician and lead singer and guitar player for the up and coming band The Detours. He was diagnosed with Lupus in his late 20's, a moment that changed his life forever. Music is what helped Brett get through the early stages of his diagnosis and ultimately led him to learning guitar and places now in music he never thought he would be. He hopes his story can bring hope to people when they need it most and he is looking forward to getting more involved in the Lupus community. 

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.

Outlouders, today for a Sunday Special we're dropping an episode of our sister podcast Unleashed into your feed... It's a little bit rogue, just like us and we think you're going to love it. You're welcome. Grace heard someone breaking into her apartment, grabbed a tennis racket, lowered her voice and screamed through the door in her mouth guard. It was not, in fact, a burglar. Mary has had it with people saying 'I Love You'. We disagree (and we love Mary, very much). Cath confesses that she dreads holidays since her divorce. Bruna lives with lupus and wakes up in pain every single day, and almost no one knows. And Grace had nits for four days and genuinely thought it was perimenopause. And the songs that changed us. Whether sitting on a school bus, lying in a delivery room, or chasing David Bowie down a street in New York, it's a lot. It's everything.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 5-21-2026: This is the second show featuring Mira Achilles, a UCSC graduate working on her masters in epidemiology. Dr. Dawn and Mira open with a Harvard study showing OpenAI's o1 reasoning model reached correct diagnoses 67% of the time versus 50-55% for physicians, and scored 89% versus 34% on treatment plans. The AI advantage shrinks when doctors get more data and time, suggesting its greatest value is in fast-moving triage. Dr. Dawn cautions that over-reliance on AI during residency could undermine the clinical reasoning neurologic pathways doctors must develop, and emphasizes the "zebra paradox"— rare diseases remain rare even when symptoms match the textbook. Dr. Dawn shares a personal case of a patient with throat shingles, leading her to use a medical AI (OpenEvidence) to investigate Shingrix risks. An Australian study found an elevenfold increase in shingles within 21 days of the first Shingrix dose in adults over 65, though dose two reduced overall risk by 73%. She explains this could be one of several things such as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), or that the AS01B vaccine adjuvant's strong activation may transiently reactivate latent virus, and recommends valacyclovir prophylaxis for high-risk patients for their first Shringrex shot.. Mira discusses AI in education, noting the shift from professors threatening plagiarism charges to teaching students how to critique AI output, emphasizing taking summaries "with a grain of salt." Dr. Dawn describes Chinese research scanning 1,154 children that identified a third ADHD subtype—severe emotional dysregulation—showing 45 abnormal brain regions versus 26 in the inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive types, with standard stimulants working poorly for this group. She connects this to traditional psychiatric personality disorder classifications and A discussion of vagus nerve stimulation's emerging applications for autoimmune conditions. Dr. Dawn and Mira discuss menstruation and bodily autonomy, then describe the Somedays period pain simulator that uses electrical impulses to let men experience menstrual cramps, highlighting differing pain thresholds. An emailer references a Radiolab episode about deliberate hookworm infection to treat asthma and allergies. Dr. Dawn explains parasites release immunosuppressants to survive, including anti-inflammatory protein-2 (AIP) now in drug development, which stimulates T-regulatory cells and IL-10 while "alarmins" inhibit lung inflammation—though this increases vulnerability to new infections. A caller with H. pylori and frequent viral infections asks whether S. boulardii and reuteri probiotics are safe given her low immunity. Dr. Dawn explains immunosuppression warnings target transplant-level drug suppression, not a tendency toward viruses like hers. Dr. Dawn thinks that her near-zero natural killer cells explain frequent infections, and suggests that the H. pylori test given her absence of symptoms, may be an incidental bystander rather than the cause of her low ferritin, which suggests bleeding. In medical news of the weird, Dr. Dawn describes Baby Cassian, diagnosed in utero with congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS), who was partially removed from the womb at 25 weeks for airway surgery, returned, and born again at 31 weeks—leading to a discussion of microsurgery and how specialties partition by the physical scale of the surgery rather the location or type of structure.

Every May, Lupus Awareness Month is recognised around the world, to highlight the chronic autoimmune disease which is still widely misunderstood. Lupus affects over five million people globally, and many of those affected are women. Jenny Lai is a mental health advocate whose Lupus diagnosis was a catalyst in her mental health journey. She has spoken to SBS' Alyssa Chandler.

Julia Chiappetta was at the peak of her career, running a high-pressure consulting business, traveling the globe, when a diagnosis of stage 2B infiltrating ductal carcinoma and lupus stopped everything. Rather than follow the conventional path her oncologist demanded, Julia leaned into prayer, deep research, and a rigorous integrative protocol: a 30-day water fast, raw food veganism, juicing, the Gerson protocol, detoxing her home of every chemical and synthetic product, and rebuilding her sleep and stress habits from the ground up. A trip to MD Anderson, facilitated by a cousin on staff, became a turning point when Dr. Marek Ross told her that her bloodwork had nearly normalized in just 90 days. A lumpectomy with clean margins followed, and Julia has been thriving for 26 years. She now helps carry the legacy of the Annie Appleseed Project, the organization founded by her late friend Ann Fonfa, providing free education and advocacy to anyone navigating a cancer diagnosis.HealingStrong's mission is to educate, equip and empower our group leaders and group participants through their journey with cancer or other chronic illnesses, and know there is HOPE.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): Beyond the Bends—Wounds, Stroke Recovery, Radiation Injury, and Performance. Nicole Garrett, founder and COO of Under Pressure Hyperbarics, details hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). She explains how HBOT treats divers' decompression sickness by recompressing nitrogen bubbles and reducing inflammation, and how therapeutic benefits depend on reaching adequate pressure (commonly around 2.0 atmospheres or more; diver treatment may begin at 2.8). Garrett describes HBOT's history, FDA-approved uses such as diabetic wound healing, radiation injury, and sudden sensorineural hearing loss (often combined with steroids), and off-label use for stroke/TBI recovery, cognitive issues, autoimmune flares, Crohn's disease, athletic recovery, anti-aging research (including telomere findings), and adjunctive cancer care. She contrasts “soft” chambers with higher-pressure medical chambers, discusses treatment courses (often 10–60 sessions), safety and contraindications (ears, pneumothorax, retinal bubble procedures), and practical barriers like cost, insurance coverage, and facility/oxygen regulations.

In this episode, Tina sits down with fellow FDN, Gina Harney where she shares a closer look at the deeper connections between lupus, gut health, hormones, and chronic inflammation, and why these issues rarely exist in isolation. Gina discusses how stress, gut dysfunction, nutrient depletion, and hormone shifts can all influence autoimmune patterns over time. Here's what you'll learn: - Why “random” symptoms (fatigue, skin issues, hormones, gut problems) are often connected, especially with lupus - How functional testing can uncover root causes when conventional answers fall short - The surprising way an eye infection sparked a deeper path into autoimmune healing - Why exercise intolerance isn't just “being out of shape” and how it could be making symptoms worse - The link between histamine intolerance and worsening hormone symptoms (plus common high-histamine foods) - How gut dysbiosis and nutrient deficiencies can quietly drive autoimmune flares - The difference between healing your body vs. chasing fat loss (and why this matters more than you think) - How Googling symptoms and spiraling can dysregulate your nervous system and slow healing - Where peptides fit into the bigger picture of supporting lupus and autoimmune conditions Subscribe: https://carrotsncake.substack.com Join Fit + Fueled: https://carrots-n-cake.mykajabi.com/fit+fueled Connect with Tina Haupert: https://carrotsncake.com/ Facebook: Carrots 'N' Cake https://www.facebook.com/carrotsncake Instagram: @carrotsncake https://www.instagram.com/carrotsncake YouTube: Tina Haupert https://www.youtube.com/user/carrotsncake About Tina Haupert: Tina Haupert is the owner of Carrots ‘N' Cake as well as a Certified Nutrition Coach and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P).

EASE OS™ Pillar: Enteric Have you done the elimination diet, the probiotics, the gut protocols — and something is still not right? In this episode of EASE OS™: The Human Skills, Dr. Connie Cheung explains why gut healing is consistently incomplete when it addresses diet without addressing the nervous system state driving the gut dysregulation in the first place. The enteric nervous system — your gut brain — contains more nerve endings than the spinal cord. It responds not just to what you eat but to what you are living. The chronic stress. The relationship the nervous system quietly braces around. The unresolved tension that has no space to complete. The gut registers all of it. Every day. And it has never lied about what it finds. In this episode you will learn: • What the enteric nervous system actually is and why it is far more than a digestive system • The exact physiological cascade that happens in the gut under chronic sympathetic activation — blood flow redirection, enzyme production, gut motility, intestinal permeability, and microbiome disruption explained in plain language • Why approximately 90% of gut-brain communication travels upward — from gut to brain — and what that means for mood, anxiety, and emotional regulation • Why the probiotic and the elimination diet produce partial results when the autonomic environment driving the dysregulation is not addressed first • Why your gut is not broken — it is the most accurate reporter in your body and it has been telling the truth about your life this whole time • The eating practice that begins to restore the communication pathway between your enteric system and your awareness • The closing question to carry into the week This is Episode 3 of EASE OS™: The Human Skills — a nine-episode series walking through the complete EASE OS™ framework one layer at a time. Each episode builds on the last. The Practice From This Episode: Before your next meal — smell the food first. Taste deliberately. Chew slowly.

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.

Tonight, on The Mark White Show, I'm joined by Randy and Shannon Pike as they share an incredible journey of perseverance through unimaginable health challenges. Randy is battling three very rare autoimmune diseases including Protein S Deficiency, two forms of Lupus, and Hypogammaglobulinemia. Their journey has included hospital stays, rehabilitation, uncertainty, and difficult days that tested their family in ways they never expected. Throughout it all, Shannon has shared updates, encouragement, and inspiration while standing beside Randy through every step of the fight. This conversation is about more than diagnoses and medical terms. It's about faith, family, resilience, and what happens when people refuse to quit during life's hardest seasons. Real stories.

Season FIVE Episode THIRTEEN of the Your Story Our Fight® podcast welcomes Joselyn Williams. Joselyn is 53 years old and has been diagnosed with SLE Lupus and Lupus Nephritis since 2012. Joselyn is currently a Branch Manager at a library, where she enjoys serving the community in any way she can.

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

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.  Guest: Uma Thanarajasingham, M.D., Ph.D.  Systemic lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease with a variety of immunologic and laboratory abnormalities. It has numerous clinical manifestations potentially involving multiple organs. It's known as the great imitator because it can mimic a variety of other diseases, and it's not uncommon for patients to have symptoms for a number of years prior to a diagnosis being established. What symptoms should alert us to the possibility of lupus? What do we do with a low titer, positive ANA? How is a firm diagnosis established and what role does the primary care clinician play in the management of those with lupus? I'll be asking these questions and more of my guest, Dr. Uma Thanarajasingam from the Division of Rheumatology at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Lupus Today: Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment”.  Connect with us! Mayo Clinic Talks Podcast Season 6 | Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development 

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.

When we last left Justin & Selena, they were not talking. Or talking? It's so hard to keep up! Anyway, now it's 2014. Justin's deep in his party phase, and Selena has just pulled the plug on the end of her tour after being diagnosed with Lupus. Over the next four years, the amount of drama that would transpire would give anyone whiplash. We're going month by month to piece together their on-and-off situationship, marked by Justin's constant fuckboy behavior and Selena's health struggles in the height of mega-fame. The episode is stacked with an ensemble cast of recurring characters, including Hailey Baldwin, the KarJenners, The Weeknd, a revolving door of models, and more. From the outside, it's easy to judge and call their story messy. But at its core, it's a familiar cycle most of us recognize from our younger years. We have all had that friend who kept going back to the ex who treated them terribly….or maybe we've been that friend ourselves. Why do some relationships make us override all sense of reason and logic and bring out the worst in ourselves? Why is it sometimes so hard to walk away when we know better? And what does it take to finally let go for good?***** This is a teaser for a bonus episode— the full episode is 2 hours 22 minutes long.

Frog venom burns your skin, makes you purge, and might be the most powerful healing tool you have never tried. In this episode, Host Dave Asprey sits down with Kambo researcher and practitioner Caitlin Thompson to break down how intentional suffering through this ancient Amazonian medicine is producing dramatic results for people with autoimmune conditions, chronic illness, Lyme disease, addiction, and metabolic dysfunction. From the peptide science behind the purge to the biohacking case for voluntary pain, this conversation will change how you think about healing, resilience, and human performance. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Caitlin Thompson is an internationally recognized Kambo practitioner and educator who has guided over 2,700 clients through this medicine, with a focus on Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, and chronic illness. Her path into this work was shaped by her own recovery from Lyme disease and Lupus. Trained in neurobiology and rooted in psychedelic science, immune health, and the human microbiome, Caitlin is currently pioneering some of the first prospective human studies on Kambo. She collaborates directly with indigenous Amazonian communities including the Matsés, Shuar, Quechua, and Matis, and has appeared on over 100 podcasts and conferences as a leading voice at the intersection of traditional medicine and modern science. Dave and Caitlin break down the full Kambo experience, from the transdermal burns and peptide families flooding your lymphatic system, to the purge, the frog face, and the window of clarity that follows. They explore why the suffering is not a side effect but the actual mechanism, how ordeal medicine builds the same neuroplasticity and dopamine receptor sensitivity that meditation, breathwork, and ice baths produce, and why this ancient practice is becoming one of the most talked about tools in functional medicine and longevity circles. They also dig into the sustainability crisis threatening frog populations in the Amazon, the almost nonexistent research landscape for Kambo, why journals refuse to publish positive findings, and how AI may unlock the ability to synthesize Kambo peptides and remove the dependency on frogs entirely. You'll Learn: Why intentional suffering through Kambo may be one of the most effective biohacking tools for immune reset and brain optimization How Kambo peptides interact with your mitochondria, vagal nerve, and immune system to drive deep healing Why the purge is not a side effect but a keystone mechanism of the medicine How ordeal medicine builds dopamine receptor sensitivity and neuroplasticity similar to fasting, cold exposure, and breathwork What the actual risks of Kambo are and how hyponatremia kills people who do it wrong Why Caitlin recovered from Lupus and Lyme disease using Kambo and what that means for autoimmune conditions How Kambo compares to ketamine, ayahuasca, and other altered states for trauma and performance Why journals refuse to publish Kambo research and what that reveals about the drug development pipeline How AI and synthetic biology may soon make frog harvesting unnecessary What the worst Kambo practitioners do wrong and how to find someone you can actually trust Thank you to our sponsors! -iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE-The One Device | Use code DAVE for $10 off at theonedevice.com/dave-MASA Chips | Go to https://www.masachips.com/DAVEASPREY and use code DAVEASPREY for 25% off your first order.

We are poor. Spiritually for sure; monetarily, perhaps. We've buried our dreams, desires, and aspirations. Like the mother with Lupus...

Frog venom burns your skin, makes you purge, and might be the most powerful healing tool you have never tried. In this episode, Host Dave Asprey sits down with Kambo researcher and practitioner Caitlin Thompson to break down how intentional suffering through this ancient Amazonian medicine is producing dramatic results for people with autoimmune conditions, chronic illness, Lyme disease, addiction, and metabolic dysfunction. From the peptide science behind the purge to the biohacking case for voluntary pain, this conversation will change how you think about healing, resilience, and human performance. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Caitlin Thompson is an internationally recognized Kambo practitioner and educator who has guided over 2,700 clients through this medicine, with a focus on Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, and chronic illness. Her path into this work was shaped by her own recovery from Lyme disease and Lupus. Trained in neurobiology and rooted in psychedelic science, immune health, and the human microbiome, Caitlin is currently pioneering some of the first prospective human studies on Kambo. She collaborates directly with indigenous Amazonian communities including the Matsés, Shuar, Quechua, and Matis, and has appeared on over 100 podcasts and conferences as a leading voice at the intersection of traditional medicine and modern science. Dave and Caitlin break down the full Kambo experience, from the transdermal burns and peptide families flooding your lymphatic system, to the purge, the frog face, and the window of clarity that follows. They explore why the suffering is not a side effect but the actual mechanism, how ordeal medicine builds the same neuroplasticity and dopamine receptor sensitivity that meditation, breathwork, and ice baths produce, and why this ancient practice is becoming one of the most talked about tools in functional medicine and longevity circles. They also dig into the sustainability crisis threatening frog populations in the Amazon, the almost nonexistent research landscape for Kambo, why journals refuse to publish positive findings, and how AI may unlock the ability to synthesize Kambo peptides and remove the dependency on frogs entirely. You'll Learn: Why intentional suffering through Kambo may be one of the most effective biohacking tools for immune reset and brain optimization How Kambo peptides interact with your mitochondria, vagal nerve, and immune system to drive deep healing Why the purge is not a side effect but a keystone mechanism of the medicine How ordeal medicine builds dopamine receptor sensitivity and neuroplasticity similar to fasting, cold exposure, and breathwork What the actual risks of Kambo are and how hyponatremia kills people who do it wrong Why Caitlin recovered from Lupus and Lyme disease using Kambo and what that means for autoimmune conditions How Kambo compares to ketamine, ayahuasca, and other altered states for trauma and performance Why journals refuse to publish Kambo research and what that reveals about the drug development pipeline How AI and synthetic biology may soon make frog harvesting unnecessary What the worst Kambo practitioners do wrong and how to find someone you can actually trust Thank you to our sponsors! -BEYOND Biohacking Conference 2026 | Register with code DAVE300 for $300 off https://beyondconference.com-KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/ and use code DAVE for 20% off-Caldera + Lab | Go to https://calderalab.com/DAVE and use code DAVE at checkout for 20% off your first order.-Screenfit | Get your at-home eye training program for 40% off using code DAVE at https://www.screenfit.com/dave.Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.
