What Your Autoimmune Diagnosis Really Means (And What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You)

In this episode of Integrative Medicine with Dr. Leland Stillman, Dr. Stillman is joined by Amy Arp to unpack what an autoimmune diagnosis truly means, and what most conventional doctors simply aren't telling patients. Drawing from clinical experience and patient stories, Dr. Stillman explains how chronic inflammation, toxic exposures, and gut dysbiosis are often the real culprits behind autoimmune conditions like MS, Crohn’s, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis. Rather than managing symptoms indefinitely with high-risk drugs, he outlines how root-cause approaches grounded in integrative and environmental medicine can lead to deep, lasting healing.

Amy shares her own remarkable healing journey, how she went from being told she’d never have children or live a normal life, to thriving again without medications. Together, they expose the broken incentives driving the pharmaceutical system and the psychological stronghold it has over both patients and practitioners. From misinformed consent to the revolving door of biologic drug prescriptions, Dr. Stillman pulls back the curtain on how mainstream medicine often traps patients in a cycle of dependency, while ignoring natural, cost-effective solutions that actually work.
