Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is often dismissed as just another autoimmune condition. But what if your diagnosis is only part of the story?

In this episode, Dr. Nicole pulls back the curtain on the real drivers behind RA—beyond the immune system. From chronic infections hiding in your joints to neurological pain loops and environmental toxins like mold, this isn’t just about symptom suppression. It’s about digging up the root.

She also shares why immunosuppressants may offer short-term relief but come with long-term consequences—and what to do instead to avoid permanent joint damage.
