Having mysterious symptoms with no clear cause can be super stressful and scary. In my practice, mystery symptoms are always a red flag for autoimmunity. In this video I cover 3 telltale signs of autoimmunity.

According to the CDC 60% of US adults have a chronic disease and 40% of US adults have 2 or more chronic diseases. Chronic disease is the leading cause of death and disability and the biggest driver of health care cost. In this video I share some ideas of what it's going to take to address this massive problem.

In this video I give a short description of what functional medicine is and how it's different than conventional medicine. In short functional medicine is a whole body approach to health care with a focus on discovering and treating the root cause of chronic health conditions.

When it comes to managing Hashimoto's (or any other autoimmune condition), minimizing inflammation is essential. In this video I describe how your gut can be a significant source of inflammation and some fundamental strategies to improve your gut health.

In this video I cover some of the nuts and bolts of autoimmunity and why it's critical to avoid gluten and dairy if you've got Hashimoto's. When it comes to managing Hashimoto's the name of the game is minimizing inflammation and avoiding triggers that flare up your immune system. Unfortunately some of the biggest triggers in Hashimoto's are gluten and dairy.

In order to treat the nuances of thyroid conditions, comprehensive testing is essential. In this video I cover the lab testing that is needed for a complete view of thyroid function and how that's different than the routine thyroid tests that most doctors run.

I've been really surprised how many of my patient have told me they have hypothyroidism and when I ask "Do you know if you have Hashimoto'" they say "I don't know, nobody ever tested me for that". In this video I cover what lab testing needs to be done to diagnose Hashimoto's and how that's different than routine testing for thyroid function.

In this video I talk about what Hashimoto's is and why it's largely ignored by conventional medicine. Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease that attacks the thyroid gland. It is the most common autoimmune disease worldwide and it's responsible for 90% of hypothyroidism here in the U.S. Despite these facts, Hashimoto's isn't routinely tested for or treated in conventional medicine.

Low thyroid function is a super common cause of fatigue. In addition to fatigue there a number of telltale symptoms of low thyroid function. These include weight gain, thinning hair, feeling cold, and brain fog. If these symptoms sound familiar there is a good chance that low thyroid function is causing your fatigue.

Did you know that 90% of hypothyroidism is caused by an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto's? The conventional treatment for hypothyroidism is to manage thyroid hormone levels with medication but completely ignores the underlying autoimmune condition.
