5 Steps To Prevent And Treat Autoimmune Disease Today

This episode is sponsored by Rupa Health and Athletic Greens.
Millions of individuals worldwide are affected by autoimmune
diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis,
inflammatory bowel disease, type-1 diabetes, hypothyroidism,
psoriasis, and many others. Simply put, autoimmune diseases are
conditions where the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues
rather than a foreign molecule like bacteria. This happens when
something confuses the immune system.  In this compilation
episode, I talk to Dr. Cynthia Li, Dr. George Papanicolaou, Dr.
Todd LePine, Dr. Steven Phillips, and Dana Parish about
out-of-the-box ways to treat autoimmune disease. We also discuss
the importance of healing your gut and optimizing your diet,
treating hidden infections, and more. Dr. Cynthia Li received her
medical degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical
Center in Dallas. She currently has a private practice in Berkeley,
CA and is the author of Brave New Medicine: A Doctor’s
Unconventional Path to Healing Her Autoimmune Illness. Dr. George
Papanicolaou is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of
Osteopathic Medicine and is Board Certified in Family Medicine from
Abington Memorial Hospital. In 2015, he established Cornerstone
Personal Health—a practice dedicated entirely to Functional
Medicine. He joined The UltraWellness Center in 2017. Dr. Todd
LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board
Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative
Functional Medicine. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he
worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years.
Dr. LePine’s focus at The UltraWellness Center is to help his
patients achieve optimal health and vitality by restoring the
natural balance to both the mind and the body.  Dr. Steven
Phillips is a renowned Yale-trained physician, international
lecturer, and media go-to expert. Well-published in the medical
literature, he has treated over 20,000 patients with complex,
chronic illness from nearly 20 countries. Dr. Phillips experienced
firsthand the nightmare of an undiagnosed, serious infection after
nearly dying from his own mystery illness. He figured out how to
save his own life when 25 doctors could not. Dana Parish developed
Lyme-induced heart failure as a result of being improperly
diagnosed by some of the “top” doctors in the country—and had her
life saved by Dr. Steven Phillips. A chart-topping Sony/ATV
singer/songwriter who has written songs for artists like Celine
Dion and Idina Menzel, she has become a major voice in the world of
chronic illness. Her popular column on Huffington Post has been
read by more than one million people globally.   This episode
