Autoimmunity is something, unfortunately, I have a lot of experience with. Today, I want to share with you the first line of defense -- the things you must do if you want to really tackle an autoimmune diseases -- to calm it down, decrease flares and possibly even put it into remission. Yes, that is possible because I did it. Sadly, allopathic medicine too often says that there is nothing that can be done with diet and lifestyle to support living with an autoimmune disease as healthy as possible. And, that simple is not true.

Epigenetics is an exciting area of longevity science. It's the study of how environment and lifestyle factors can turn on or off how our genes express themselves. And how those genes express themselves has a LOT to do with how well or poorly you'll age. It also means that just because you may be predisposed genetically to a disease, it doesn't mean you'll get that disease. Today's episode dives deep into epigenetics and covers four accessible ways to support your genes so that they express themselves favorably for longevity.

There is so much confusion around HRT. Some women swear by it and others swear against it. Today, we break it all down.

Have you heard of MTHFR? Most people haven't and it could be a factor in a number of health issues and symptoms. Globally, 10-40% of people have this genetic mutation, with rates highest in the U.S at 30% and Europe at 50%. MTHFR is easy to uncover through a simple blood test. If you have it, it can affect your body's ability to methylate and utilize folate (both a big deal!) and get rid of toxins. MTHFR is a risk factor for a number of age-related diseases, including late onset Alzheimer's. Today, I talk about my journey discovering I have MTHFR and how addressing it was a game changer in putting my Hashimoto's thyroid disease into remission for good and feeling my best!
