Show Notes In Today's Episode Almost every autoimmune story I hear starts the same way. Something is wrong, the labs come back “normal” or the one abnormal result gets no comment, and you are sent home. Elena's ferritin was low and nobody mentioned it. Amber could not move her hands and was told to exercise. In this episode both of them tell the whole story. Elena describes what it was like to go from sluggish and cold to jittery and racing, the moment half her face went numb, and the Graves' antibodies that finally explained it. She talks honestly about thyroid eye disease, about not recognizing herself in the mirror, and about the friction that came when she wanted to taper methimazole and her team said no. Amber describes a year on hydroxychloroquine with migraines severe enough to send her home from work, flares that kept coming anyway, and the decision she made to walk away from her rheumatologist. She is clear that she does not recommend how she did it, and that finding a practitioner who could guide her was the turning point. Where both stories converge is the gut. Amber's methane was off the charts on her SIBO test. Elena's stool test came back with H. pylori, dysbiosis, and intestinal permeability after a virus and a parasite picked up abroad. In both cases, addressing what was actually in the gut changed the downstream picture in a way that supplements alone had not. We also talk about what does not come in a bottle. Yoga and mindfulness for Elena. Acupuncture and a less stressful work environment for both. The role chronic stress and trauma play in keeping the immune system switched on. And the reminder that this is a long game, not a thirty day fix. There is a push and pull in our culture between the natural camp and the drug camp, and people get hurt in the middle of it. If you are in thyroid storm, you need medication. If you are bleeding and dehydrated from IBD, you need help calming that down. Root cause work and conventional care are not opponents. The goal is using both well and we are ready to support you in that. Key Take Aways Autoimmune healing can be a layered process. Elena and Amber describe how addressing gut health, nutrition, infections, and other contributing factors became important parts of their journeys. Gut health may play an important role in autoimmunity. The conversation explores intestinal permeability, dysbiosis, SIBO, and how gut-related issues can intersect with inflammation and autoimmune symptoms. Lifestyle matters alongside clinical care. Yoga, mindfulness, acupuncture, movement, stress management, sleep, nutrition, and relationships are discussed as important components of overall health. Advocating for yourself is an important part of the healthcare journey. Elena and Amber encourage patients to research, ask questions, and seek providers who will listen and work collaboratively with them. Functional and conventional medicine can work together. Melody emphasizes that functional medicine should not mean automatically rejecting medications or emergency care, but rather finding an appropriate balance between immediate medical treatment and longer-term health strategies. Topics Discussed 00:00 – Welcome to Table Talk Melody introduces functional medicine pharmacists Elena Genik and Amber Fish and today's conversation about autoimmune conditions. 02:33 – Elena's Graves' Disease Journey Elena shares how fatigue, thyroid symptoms, and an unexpectedly high heart rate eventually led to a Graves' disease diagnosis. 06:00 – Navigating Graves' Disease & Thyroid Eye Disease How Elena's treatment evolved, the challenges she experienced with medication, and the development of Thyroid Eye Disease. 09:02 – Amber's Rheumatoid Arthritis Story Amber shares her experience with severe joint pain, medications, migraines, and her search for options beyond conventional treatment. 12:46 – The Gut-Autoimmune Connection Why gut health, intestinal permeability, dysbiosis, infections, and inflammation become important areas to investigate in autoimmune conditions. 13:47 – Amber's Gut Health Transformation How testing revealed significant gut dysfunction and how addressing it coincided with major improvements in her pain and swelling. 16:20 – Elena's Gut Health Breakthrough After a virus, parasite, and major thyroid eye flare, Elena discovered H. pylori and dysbiosis and began addressing her gut health. 18:02 – Stress, Yoga, Mindfulness & Acupuncture The role chronic stress may play in autoimmune symptoms and how Elena and Amber incorporated yoga, mindfulness, acupuncture, and other practices. 22:00 – Becoming Your Own Health Advocate Why both women believe patients should ask questions, research their conditions, and seek practitioners willing to work collaboratively with them. 25:50 – Nutrition & Identifying Food Triggers How elimination diets, food sensitivities, gluten, dairy, and individual food triggers can factor into an autoimmune health journey. 28:31 – Removing Triggers vs. Healing the Gut Why identifying problematic foods or infections may only be one piece of the puzzle and the importance of supporting gut recovery. 31:29 – Autoimmune Health Is an Ongoing Journey Amber and Elena discuss maintaining progress, navigating flares, and continuing to pay attention to nutrition, illness, stress, and lifestyle. 33:16 – Building a Lifestyle That Supports Healing The importance of nourishing food, movement, sleep, relationships, stress management, and sometimes making larger life changes to prioritize health. 35:21 – Final Advice for Autoimmune Patients Elena and Amber encourage listeners not to lose hope, to continue looking for answers, and to advocate for themselves. 36:06 – Finding the Middle Ground in Medicine Melody discusses combining conventional treatment when necessary with functional medicine strategies rather than viewing the two approaches as opposites. 37:32 – Closing & Resources Where listeners can connect with Elena, Amber, and the Pharm to Table team for functional medicine care and health coaching.

Show Notes HOST Melody Hartzler | | Book Appointment In Today's Episode In this special retreat episode of Table Talk, the PharmToTable team gathers in Austin, Texas, for an honest conversation about one of the five pillars of health: community. Through personal stories, the team explores how meaningful relationships support healing, resilience, and overall well-being, while sharing practical ways to build intentional connections in every season of life. Key Take Aways Community is essential for health. Strong relationships support emotional well-being, healing, and long-term health just as much as nutrition, movement, and other healthy habits. Building community requires intention. Whether it's joining a book club, scheduling regular dinners, attending a fitness class, or inviting neighbors over, meaningful friendships rarely happen by accident. Your community can evolve over time. As life seasons change, it's okay to outgrow certain relationships and seek connections that better align with who you are today. Shared interests create lasting friendships. Wellness groups, fitness communities, hobby clubs, volunteer organizations, and professional networks can become powerful sources of support. Quality matters more than quantity. A few trusted relationships can have a profound impact on your mental, emotional, and physical health. Chapters Topics Discussed 00:00 – Welcome to the Team Retreat Introducing this special Table Talk episode recorded during the PharmToTable team retreat in Austin, Texas. 00:45 – Why Community Is a Pillar of Health The team discusses why meaningful relationships are essential for physical, emotional, and long-term wellness. 02:00 – Making Time for Connection in Busy Seasons Balancing motherhood, careers, and life's responsibilities while intentionally prioritizing friendships. 04:02 – Finding Community Through Shared Life Stages How parenting, neighborhoods, work, and shared experiences naturally shape our support systems. 06:05 – The Importance of Being Intentional Why putting friendships on the calendar and creating recurring gatherings helps relationships thrive. 06:55 – Isolation, COVID, and the Impact on Health Reflecting on how loneliness affected mental and physical well-being during and after the pandemic. 08:00 – Finding People Who Truly Understand You The value of surrounding yourself with like-minded people who share your interests and values. 10:08 – When Friendships Change Over Time How personal growth can lead to evolving relationships and the importance of embracing new communities. 12:00 – Community as Part of the Healing Journey Why support from others can be just as important as nutrition, supplements, and medical care. 14:05 – Building Healthy Habits Together How supportive communities encourage better nutrition, movement, and other lasting lifestyle changes. 15:25 – Letting Go and Finding the Right Community Navigating the grief of outgrowing relationships while creating space for new connections. 17:10 – Practical Ways to Build Community Ideas including book clubs, cooking clubs, wellness events, fitness groups, and hobby-based gatherings. 23:10 – Hospitality, Neighbors, and Everyday Connection Simple ways to build stronger relationships through shared meals, neighborhoods, and intentional hospitality. 28:05 – The Courage to Reach Out Overcoming introversion, starting conversations, and taking the first step toward meaningful friendships. 32:10 – Why Shared Experiences Strengthen Relationships How retreats, shared homes, and everyday moments create deeper, more authentic connections. 34:15 – Quality Over Quantity Closing reflections on why even a small circle of trusted people can have a profound impact on health and well-being.

Show Notes HOST Melody Hartzler | | Book Appointment AROUND THE TABLE Dr. Amber Fish Book Appointment In Today's Episode In this episode of Table Talk, Melody Hartzler sits down with Pharm to Table pharmacist Amber Fish to discuss her personal journey with rheumatoid arthritis and how functional medicine transformed her health. Amber shares how addressing gut health, nutrition, lifestyle, and root causes helped her reduce inflammation, regain her quality of life, and move beyond simply managing symptoms with medication.
