I have a question about the episode My Practitioner On The Supplements & Lab Tests You Need, How To Fight Mold & Parasites, Root Causes of Acne, and How To Study Blood Work and the clip Skin Health Breakthrough. I just listened to your conversation with Joe Rogan and am really intrigued by several things you spoke about. I'm a 55-year-old woman with Celiac disease, Lupus SLE, and Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism. I am also a highly competitive triathlete competing at the top of my age group. My doctors are intrigued by my ability to continue to compete, although training and racing look different for me since 2021 when I was diagnosed. There are apparently not many people with Lupus racing as I do. Thankfully, my doctors are very supportive of what I do, but I am really interested in much of what you spoke about, as none of my doctors have ever talked about looking past the traditional blood work and then prescribing pills. I'm currently on Hydroxychloroquine, Azathioprine, Synthroid, and monthly IVIG infusions. What additional insights or recommendations do you have for someone in my situation?
I have a question about this episode #421: Exiting the Matrix: Unlearning Societal Narratives & Embracing True Empowerment with Kelly Brogan and this Reclaiming Authenticity. Hey, Gary. I recently saw you on the Sean Ryan Show, where you mentioned autoimmune disorders, particularly hypothyroidism and inflammatory bowel disease. I can understand why the body attacks the colon, but not the thyroid. What is the thyroid hiding that the body is attacking it (using your analogy of why the body attacks the gut due to leaky gut syndrome)? Any insights on how to fight either condition would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
