Today, I'd like to welcome our guest, Yolanda, from the United States. She takes LDN for rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto. Thank you for having me. I had surgery on my foot, thinking it was tendinitis, but it turned out to be rheumatoid arthritis. Soon after, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto. I spent a year researching to find the root cause of my problem, as my mom also has RA. I didn't want to end up like her, unable to use my hands.I spent a year researching and found that LDN and changes in diet helped with my symptoms. While titrating up to 4.5, I experienced intense detox symptoms, including severe burning pain in my arms during a mission trip to Guatemala.After joining Facebook groups, I realized some people took higher doses. A year ago, my inflammation disappeared, and my rheumatologist was amazed. She eventually discharged me, acknowledging that LDN and a clean diet had helped me tremendously.I found LDN to be a game changer for me. It's helped with my rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto's. I'm now at 5.0 mg and feeling comfortable. My antibodies are at nine, which is considered in remission, but my doctor doesn't fully agree. I'm also focusing on getting my hypothyroidism into remission next.I convinced my older sister to go see my dad next week. I offered to pay for her initial visit because she's on disability. I also offered to help her get LDN, which I think she needs. She agreed, and I'm glad because all my siblings have rheumatoid arthritis, but none of them want to do anything about it.I always tell my daughters to get checked for autoimmune diseases at their doctor's appointments. My older daughter believes in the benefits of LDN, and my younger daughter is starting to see them too. Before LDN, I was in a lot of pain, especially in my hands, and I had brain fog and extreme fatigue. My hair was dry and thin, and I had gained a lot of weight. After starting LDN, my pain reduced, and I had more clarity of mind.I had some health issues with pain in my hands, but after some time, the inflammation went away and I no longer had to sleep with my hands under my body. I used to take medication to sleep, but I weaned myself off it and now sleep fine. However, I've been having trouble waking up in the middle of the night. Overall, I sleep well and have lost weight relatively easily.I just felt so alive, so different from what I had felt for a long time. I had a little bit of help initially to lose weight, but once the weight started coming off, it just flew off. Since my mom passed away and with the problems I've been having, I gained the weight back, but I know that's just temporary. LDN has been the best thing that has ever happened in my life. I can't imagine living without it. Thank you for having me.

In this episode, we dive into the evolving role of AI in rheumatology—exploring how it's already reshaping workflows, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, optimizing treatment selection, and helping us monitor patients remotely. We tackle big questions around bias, control over critical data and whether we're truly ready to let AI serve as our assistants—or even gatekeepers. From addressing workforce shortages to revolutionizing medical research and education, we examine both the promise and the pitfalls of this powerful technology, and why caution must guide its integration into our clinical decisions.

Beatriz was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. It began at 16 when she heard a crack in her knee while playing tennis. By 23, her knee became severely swollen with synovial fluid, making walking difficult. After multiple knee scopes and a diagnosis of villonodular synovitis, she eventually saw a rheumatologist who diagnosed her with rheumatoid arthritis. She began treatment with sulfasalazine, prednisone, and later methotrexate, but her condition worsened. When her doctor recommended Humira, she refused, scared by the side effects. She always wondered why she couldn't live normally and was determined to find a way to recover her health. After two knee replacements, she tried various approaches—gluten-free diet, veganism, juicing—all with limited success. She then discovered the Wim Hof method and began challenging herself with ice baths. Following her second knee replacement, she started keto and joined a CrossFit gym with physiotherapy. She trained consistently despite the pain, building a supportive community. Her health improved significantly—she could run again, her elbows straightened, and she reduced her medications. After three years on keto, when some symptoms returned, she switched to a carnivore diet. Under medical supervision, her inflammatory markers decreased, and her symptoms almost disappeared. She now follows a lion diet (primarily ruminant meat) and has her blood markers under control. Beatriz is now a health coach, pursuing certification in SMHP and Carnivore nutrition, using her journey to help others with autoimmune conditions.

Josie from the United States shared her experience of using LDN for Crohn's disease, asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis. She began using LDN after struggling with Crohn's disease for several years and undergoing multiple surgeries, as traditional medications were not effective in the long term. After researching alternative treatments, she found a specific carbohydrate diet and LDN. Surprisingly, LDN not only alleviated her Crohn's symptoms but also reduced joint pain and respiratory distress from asthma. She started taking LDN in 2007 and initially experienced euphoria and deep sleep as side effects. Before using LDN, Josie suffered from gastrointestinal pain, cramping, diarrhea, fatigue, and frequent secondary infections. She adopted a specific carbohydrate diet, which involved eliminating sugars and starches, and found it to be effective in conjunction with LDN. Although she still experiences some Crohn's symptoms, they are largely under control with the modified diet and LDN. Josie can now eat a wider variety of foods, although she still needs to be cautious with certain grains and sugars.For information on LDN, go to https://linktr.ee/ldnrtOur webinars and training courses can be purchased from https://www.ldnrtevents.com/collections/webinars-and-training-coursesWe have a list of LDN Q&As on our website https://ldnresearchtrust.org/questions-and-answersVisit our website, which is packed with information on Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for Autoimmune Conditions, Cancers, Chronic Pain, Women's Health and more.https://www.ldnresearchtrust.orgWe have a very active FB Closed Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/LDNRT/

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog During our interview I reviewed her path through recovering from years of no hormones and discussed how dramatic her recovery was.  Her symptoms included no libido and no orgasms, Painful intercourse from a dry vagina, fatigue, depression, troubles with memory, Insomnia, lack of motivation, dry wrinkled skin, alopecia, osteopenia, weight gain, loss of muscle mass and weakness, fibromyalgia, migraines, hot flashes, insomnia and poor of quality of life.  Her symptoms impaired her ability to have a quality life.  During the years after her hysterectomy, she developed hypertension and Rheumatoid Arthritis. After she was treated with Estradiol and Testosterone pellets, her recovery was dramatic and fast!  It amazed both of us, and she has continued to improve her health and now she is very healthy, without hypertension and she had almost a decade free of Rheumatoid Arthritis.   It turns out that the recovery of her energy, confidence and strength was well timed. She needed all the health and strength she could get to take care of her husband who finally succumbed to brain cancer in 2019.  The same year she had the strength to become VP of Paramount bank as her employment.  It seemed that the more life-disasters that she overcame, the stronger she got! As generally happens when people are overly stressed, even hormone replacement is overwhelmed.  In 2018 had a recurrence of rheumatoid arthritis, and she developed Hypothyroidism and Insulin resistance.  Grace, my NP at BioBalance Health, helped her treat her thyroid and weight gain and guide her to overcome these medical problems including losing the weight she gained with insulin resistance.   In 2022 she met, and married Mark Behlmann, who she served on the same charity boards with, but she had never met before.  She got her second chance with Mark at finding love and fulfillment in her partnership with him.  He encouraged her to compete in the. Ms. Missouri Senior, and she employed her energy, talent for singing, her own passion for success and service to become the 2024 Ms. Missouri Senior. In her role she encourages women to use their gifts to achieve everything that they can in life and to find a doctor to help them survive loss of hormones after menopause, so they can continue their service to family and society throughout their lives…she is the best example I can think of living your life to the fullest every day, no matter how old you are!

Movement can feel intimidating –or even scary– when you're dealing with chronic pain and inflammation. I get it. That's why I invited strength trainer Jennifer Patrick to share her practical approach to building strength and incorporating movement into your daily life. We discuss why "motion is lotion," how to distinguish between good and bad pain, and simple ways to move more without aggravating your symptoms. If you've been avoiding exercise because of your autoimmune condition, this conversation will show you how small, manageable movements can make a big difference in your healing journey.For the complete show notes and links visit inspiredliving.show/186

Additionally, Cheryl & Dr Dada also explore how strength training—not to "bulk up," but to boost energy, focus, and joint stability—can be a game-changer for these diseases.Dr. Dada reassures newly diagnosed individuals to avoid the anxiety of worst-case scenarios online and instead focus on reliable information and gradual, sustainable lifestyle changes. She emphasizes that managing arthritis is a marathon, not a sprint, and that even 1% improvement each day adds up. With the right knowledge, support, and habits, you can take control of your health and live well with arthritis.Episode at a glance:Myths vs Facts for gout and osteoporosisStrength Training Benefits: Cheryl and Dr. Dada discuss how strength training improves joint stability, reduces fatigue, and enhances focus for arthritis, gout, and osteoporosis.Managing Anxiety: Cheryl and Dr. Dada discuss navigating the anxiety that comes with a new arthritis diagnosis, emphasizing the importance of reliable information.Patience & Progress: The value of taking a gradual approach—small daily improvements can lead to significant changes in quality of life.Empowering Patients: Dr. Dada emphasizes patient education and how it empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their care.Medical disclaimer: All content found on Arthritis Life public channels was created for generalized informational purposes only.

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Atul Deodhar, a leading expert in the field of Axial Spondyloarthritis (AxSpA). Dr. Deodhar shares insights from his groundbreaking research on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of AxSpA, particularly focusing on the efficacy and safety of IV secukinumab. We dive deep into his study, INVIGORATE-1, exploring the methods behind it, including the use of Interactive Response Technology, and the primary and secondary endpoints that shed light on this treatment's impact. We also discuss the latest data on patient preferences for subcutaneous versus intravenous immunomodulators and the implications of these findings. Tune in for an informative and engaging conversation that blends cutting-edge science with thoughtful reflections on patient care. 

I'm thrilled to welcome back James Schmactenberger to talk about a well-known, and inexpensive mineral that could be your missing link to recovery. Did you know over half of us are magnesium deficient? Even if you eat well and take supplements, you might not be getting what your body needs. James explains why most magnesium supplements fall short and how this affects your sleep, stress levels, digestion, and brain function. We dig into the difference between magnesium getting into your bloodstream versus actually being used by your tissues, and why multiple forms of this mineral matter. If you're dealing with unexplained symptoms, muscle pain, or brain fog despite your best efforts, this conversation could be the game-changer you've been looking for in your healing journey.For the complete show notes and links visit inspiredliving.show/185

Angela talks to Leslie Kenny, about the fascinating world of longevity and health optimisation. Leslie, a renowned expert in the field, shares her personal journey of reversing her biological age to 21 at the age of 59, focussing upon the importance of a multifactorial approach to aging that includes diet, movement, sleep, and social connection. Together Angela and Leslie discuss the often-overlooked significance of sleep and social interactions, as well as the role of the microbiome in health. Leslie also introduces the powerful compound spermidine, found in various plant-based foods, and its benefits for autophagy, immune health, and even hair pigmentation KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on diet, movement, sleep, and social connection to optimise health and longevity. Prioritising sleep is particularly crucial for reducing risks associated with Alzheimer's and dementia. Each individual has a unique microbiome influenced by their ancestry, which affects how they process different foods. Identifying and removing personal dietary "kryptonite" (foods that trigger negative responses) while incorporating beneficial foods is essential for optimal health. This compound, found in various plant-based foods, activates autophagy, a cellular renewal process. Increasing spermidine intake can support gut health, immune function, and even hair pigmentation by promoting the growth phase of hair follicles. Fasting can have different effects on men and women, particularly during perimenopause. Women may experience negative hormonal changes and stress responses from prolonged fasting, making it essential to find alternative ways to stimulate autophagy, such as through spermidine supplementation. BEST MOMENTS "Aging is a multifactorial problem, so it needs to be solved with a multifactorial approach. Focus on these four pillars: diet, movement, sleep, and social connection." "The more plants we can get into our diet, the better, both for fiber and because there are lots of polyphenols... spermidine activates that cell renewal process known as autophagy." "The greater the diversity of the gut biome, the healthier the person is, the more resilient the microbiome is and able to respond to challenges." "When we think about fasting... it isn't always suitable for women, particularly those in high-stress jobs or going through perimenopausal transition."

Refusing to accept this prognosis, she transformed her health by eliminating inflammatory triggers and supporting her body’s natural healing. Now 59, she has the biological age of 21, is autoimmune disease-free, and naturally conceived at 43. Empowered by her health journey, she returned to school, became a certified Bulletproof coach and began working with Oxford University scientists, helping them raise funding for their groundbreaking research. In a meeting with Professor Katja Simon, she discovered spermidine, a powerful, natural compound dubbed as an “anti-aging vitamin” and found to “delay aging in humans” through its ability to activate autophagy (cell renewal) and target key aging pathways. Recognizing its potential, she founded Oxford Healthspan, launching Primeadine®, a plant-derived spermidine supplement, with the highest quality, Japanese ingredients and the backing of top scientific and clinical advisors. She also collaborated with University of Oxford academics to co-found a non-profit organization, called the Oxford Longevity Project, dedicated to educating the public on easy, actionable ways to improve their healthspan and longevity. oxfordhealthspan.com lesliesnewprime.com oxfordlongevityproject.org https://www.instagram.com/oxfordhealthspan/ https://www.instagram.com/lesliesnewprime/ https://www.instagram.com/oxfordlongevityproject/ ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Together, they break down the latest research from the 2024 American College of Rheumatology conference, unpacking the science behind the gut microbiome and the Mediterranean diet. Cristina explains how these can impact inflammatory diseases like RA and Sjogren's—and why it's about more than just what's on your plate.They also tackle the big questions: Should you go gluten-free? Is the carnivore diet a miracle cure or just another fad? Is it worth having a restrictive diet if I'm stressed about food all the time? Cheryl and Cristina separate fact from fiction, debunking common diet myths so you can make informed choices without the confusion.But this conversation isn't just about food—it's about the bigger picture.
