Deep dives
Significance of Multiple Autoimmune Syndrome
The podcast highlights the growing awareness of multiple autoimmune syndrome, where individuals can have more than one autoimmune condition simultaneously. Traditionally recognized autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's thyroiditis are prevalent, but there's an increasing recognition of patients exhibiting low-level autoimmunity without clinical diagnosis. Understanding the potential for developing multiple autoimmune conditions is crucial, with around 25% of those with autoimmune diseases showing a propensity for additional conditions.
Influence of Lifestyle on Autoimmune Health
The discussion underscores the essential role of lifestyle factors in managing autoimmune conditions. Emphasizing aspects like nature exposure, stress management, quality sleep, and connection with others supports immune system modulation. Lifestyle modifications, along with therapeutic interventions, contribute significantly to patient outcomes. Park prescriptions and fun connection activities are advocated to counterbalance the overwhelming focus on dietary adjustments in autoimmune management.
Diversity in Therapeutic Approaches
Therapeutic strategies discussed include the synergy of vitamin D and retinol for immune function, the usage of herbal remedies like Ashwagandha and Reishi, and the emerging area of peptides for immune modulation. Incorporating nutrients like cod liver oil, glutathione, and medicinal mushrooms aids in restoring immune balance. Understanding the importance of holistic approaches encompassing lifestyle modifications and diverse therapeutics is crucial in managing autoimmune conditions.
Importance of Educational Practices
Educational practices play a pivotal role in patient care, allowing for better understanding and engagement in treatment plans. Providing tailored education regarding immune system functioning, dietary influences, and therapeutic interventions supports patients in taking an active role in their health journey. Education empowers individuals to comprehend the underlying mechanisms of autoimmune conditions and actively participate in adopting lifestyle changes and therapeutic approaches for immune system modulation.
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.
