In this week's podcast replay, Dr. Michelle Woolhouse talks with gastroenterologist Dr. Pran Yoganathan about supporting clients through diet and lifestyle changes for better metabolic and digestive health.  

Understanding that current discourse around gut health, optimal diet and wellness is a complex, and confusing space, Dr. Pran Yoganathan focusses on simplifying dietary guidance to focus on the intake of dietary protein and fats, while working with individual patients to lower metabolic risk and imbalances. Dr. Pran and Dr. Michelle discuss the benefits of referring to our ancestral diet and lifestyle practices to simplify our own diets in a world when we are overwhelmed with conflicting dietary advice. Importantly, Dr. Pran focuses on the need to tailor dietary advice to the individual, based on their health status rather than their microbiome to ensure that they are able to get the best from the foods that they are eating and prevent disease.

A Naturopathic approach to Rosacea with Emma Sutherland and Ananda Mahony

Functional Naturopath Daniel Sipple and fx Medicine Ambassador Lisa Costa-Bir discuss Multiple Autoimmune Syndrome (MAS). With autoimmmune (AI) diseases developing in clusters it’s important to understand that management takes a multi-pronged approach.  

Join the two naturopaths in a clinically rich discussion that takes you through educating and onboarding patients in the management of autoimmune disease and taking care of the 25% who will experience MAS. They discuss how to recognise possible signs and symptoms connected to MAS, the three types of MAS and what to look for when undertaking functional tests.  

Understand how patient care involves not only treating the area impacted but importantly, addressing the root cause of immune dysfunction itself and various treatment options to implement using herbals, nutrients, probiotics, lifestyle (addressing stress and sleep) and diet for management of MAS.

REPLAY: Multiple Autoimmune Syndrome with Lisa Costa-Bir and Daniel Sipple

Dr. Brad Leech, Clinical Nutritionist and Herbalist joins fx Medicine Ambassador Lisa Costa-Bir to unpack the intricacies of autoimmunity and the connection to the gut microbiome.

Dr. Leech shares a wealth of clinical pearls for practitioners with autoimmune patients by unpacking the clinical relevance and meaning of functional gut testing markers. Dr Leech examines how practitioners can use testing as a tool to identify inflammatory risk factors associated with autoimmunity and individualise treatment protocols for patients using diet, lifestyle, and supplemental support.

Dr. Leech describes the clinical significance of establishing balance and healthy diversity within the gut using food as medicine, rather than focusing on elimination.

Together, they also explore lifestyle factors that impact the gut microbiome, and how managing stress and using targeted supplementation to achieve a balanced gut microbiome can contribute to lowering autoimmunity risk factors in our patients.
