In this episode of the Thyroid Answers podcast I get into a deep and lengthy discussion with Dr. Miles Nichols to discuss the connection between Anti-Parietal Cell antibodies, Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), thyroid physiology, thyroid autoimmunity, and the cell danger response.

This is my longest podcast to date. I really like the longer format as it provides more time to get in-depth on the topics. Let me know your opinion on the longer format. Do you like it? Not like it? Let me know.

We discuss:

• What are anti-parietal cell antibodies (APCA)
• Role of parietal cells in the Stomach
• The connection between parietal cells, APCA, and B12 status
• The connection between B12, APCA, and thyroid physiology
• Evaluating B12 status
• What is CIRS
• What causes CIRS
• The connection between CIRS, the CDR, and thyroid physiology
• and so much more ...

Dr. Miles Nichols is a functional medicine doctor specializing in Lyme, mold illness, gut, thyroid, and autoimmunity. After Dr. Miles personally struggled with chronic fatigue in his early 20’s, Dr. Miles dedicated himself to figuring out the root causes. He suffered with and recovered from thyroid dysfunction, autoimmunity, a gut infection, Lyme co-infections, and mold illness.

Dr. Miles and his wife Dr. Diane Mueller co-authored “How to Use Your Mind to Heal Your Mold and Lyme” and “Stress Resilience”. They founded the Medicine with Heart functional medicine clinic in Colorado and also the Medicine with Heart Institute that trains other doctors in functional medicine.
