Battling Crohn’s with Food – & Winning!

Janet has had Crohn's disease for over 20 years. In this episode we discuss her experience using food as medicine and lifestyle changes to get her autoimmune disease into a lasting remission.

Gluten Face – Real or Imagined?

Could what’s showing up on your face be a direct result of something you’re eating? When it comes to gluten - that's a definite YES. But the solution is more complex than just eating gluten-free products.

Pollution Increases Autoimmune Disease

Pollution in the environment breaks down the body’s protective epithelial layers and can trigger an inflammatory response

Low-Calorie Diet Delays Metabolic & Immune Aging

A low-calorie diet delays metabolic aging and immune aging, and scientists have discovered that the anti-aging effects are a result of the gut microbiome. The study, published in Microbiome, looked at the interactions between low-calorie diets, the microbiome, metabolism, and the immune system in a two-step process. The study first analyzed the effects of a […]

Getting The Diagnosis (And The Diet) Right

Jenny didn’t have much in the way of bowel symptoms, just bloating after meals and some constipation. She came in to see me because of severe fatigue, brain fog, thinning hair, and a history of infertility, and she wanted advice on what supplements might be helpful for these problems. As soon as I heard her […]

Why Does Autoimmune Disease Affect So Many Women?

The placenta could be the surprising reason why so many women get autoimmune diseases – even in women who have never been pregnant. Women are diagnosed with 80% of all autoimmune diseases in the U.S. Humans in hunter-gatherer communities have an average of 8 to 12 children – a stark contrast to today’s U.S. average, […]

Gut Bacteria Imbalance Linked To Lupus

A new study shows a link between gut bacterial imbalances and life threatening forms of lupus for the first time. Blood and stool samples were analyzed in 61 women with systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE) and compared to those of 17 healthy women of matched age and racial backgrounds. Results showed that women with the disease had […]

Stress Closely Linked To Autoimmune Disease

Stress and autoimmune disease are closely linked. An extensive study spanning 30 years and including over 100,000 study subjects found that individuals diagnosed with stress-related disorders were also 30 to 40 percent more likely to be diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder (including Crohn’s disease and celiac disease). Researchers also found that those patients diagnosed with PTSD […]

Fasting Improves Microbial Health & Protects Against Autoimmunity

Intermittent fasting (typically defined as going 12 to 18 hours a day without food) positively impacts the gut microbiome and protects against central nervous system (CNS) autoimmunity. A recent study in mice found that IF increases gut bacteria richness and diversity (resulting in an increase in Lactobacillaceae, Bacteroidaceae, and Prevotellaceae families), and positively alters gut microbiome […]
