This episode dives deep into one of the questions I get asked most often: Should I take Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)? If you're wondering whether LDN will work for your autoimmune condition, why it's not working for you, or why so many people online swear by it—this is the episode you need to hear.

LDN has gained a lot of traction in the autoimmune community, especially on social media and even among some medical professionals. But is the hype supported by science? In this episode, we're cutting through the noise and getting real about what the research actually says.

We'll break down:

• What LDN is and how it works
• The evidence (and limitations) in conditions like fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's, and scleroderma
• Why some people feel better—and others don't
• The difference between symptom relief and disease progression
• Why we need large, controlled studies before LDN becomes a mainstream autoimmune treatment

As a practitioner, it's incredibly important to me that we don't just chase the latest trend. My role is to give you the full picture—the good and the bad—so you can make an informed decision about your health. We're not offering blanket solutions here. We're offering clarity.

If you've been curious about LDN, this is the episode that gives you the straight facts—backed by science, explained with heart.

🎧 Tune in now and walk away empowered to make the right choice for your body.
