    Teresa talks about Overcoming Multiple Health Issues with LDN and Functional Medicine.

    An interview with Teresa, who has been dealing with multiple health issues, including mold and hormone problems. Teresa's symptoms were severe, and she had been struggling with them for over two years. When she was at her sickest, Teresa had histamine intolerance, gut problems, and neuroinflammation. She also experienced hot flushed red faces whenever she worked out, endometriosis-type symptoms, diarrhea, increased heart rate, weakness, and jumbled thoughts.  Teresa sought help from multiple doctors but found no relief. She had to go to functional medicine and naturopathic medicine to get the help she needed. The doctors prescribed her supplements, herbs, and homeopathics, among other treatments, to improve her health. However, it took her some time to feel better despite adopting a healthy lifestyle and following protocols. She learned about how to eat properly, take care of her mitochondria, and improve her nervous system and relaxation through meditation.  Teresa describes her typical day when she was at her sickest, and it is a poignant story. She would wake up feeling either nauseous or sweating and had to move her bowels frequently. Within two hours of waking up, her heart rate would increase, and she would feel weak, forcing her to sit down. Teresa had to work as an online therapist and tried to see clients despite feeling unwell. She couldn't be around intense smells, go outside, or eat without feeling sick or nauseous. Her life was limited, and she was essentially homebound.  It wasn't until Teresa started taking LDN that things started to improve drastically. Her functional medicine doctor prescribed her LDN, which was initially a source of hesitation for her. However, as she saw her roommate getting better after taking LDN, Teresa decided to give it a try. LDN is a promising treatment option that has been used for various health conditions, including autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, and cancer. It works by boosting the body's natural immune response, reducing inflammation and pain.  Teresa's LDN treatment was a turning point, and she started to feel better. She felt less sensitive to smells and was able to tolerate more foods. She started to gain weight, have more energy, and exercise again. It took her a while to feel better completely, but LDN was the key that unlocked her health. It is a testament to the power of functional medicine and the importance of finding the right treatment for each person's unique health condition.

Kelly also discusses the complexity of MCAS, a multi-system disorder that can affect various organs and the skin, making it difficult to recognize and diagnose. She shares her experience of how finding a physician who understands the condition was crucial to getting it under control.

    Amy, shares her health conditions, including small fiber neuropathy, mold toxicity, MCAS, EDS, and POTS.

    Linda Elsegood engages in a conversation with Amy, who shares her journey with multiple health conditions, including small fiber neuropathy, mold toxicity, MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome), EDS (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome), and POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). Amy recalls that she has been experiencing symptoms her whole life, such as hives, reactions to medication, and odd food reactions. She describes having weird physical quirks that were dismissed as "just an Amy thing." For instance, she would feel hot in her head after eating peanuts or feel dizzy. Despite undergoing allergy testing, her results were negative, and doctors attributed her symptoms to being "sensitive." However, after contracting mono and strep in college, Amy's symptoms became more debilitating. She felt extremely tired all the time, and nothing seemed to help. She experienced GI (gastrointestinal) problems, brain fog, and heat intolerance. Her symptoms continued to worsen, and she had episodes every few months where she felt like she was dying. She would have trouble eating, and it felt like a brick was in her stomach. Despite seeking help from countless doctors, none could diagnose her condition or connect all her symptoms. Her doctors would refer her to specialists, such as gastroenterologists, allergists, and pulmonologists, but it didn't help. They would attribute her symptoms to panic attacks, stress, or other unrelated conditions. They even removed her gallbladder, but it didn't alleviate her symptoms. Amy recalls that her body kept reacting to everything, and she could only eat rice for a while. After two back-to-back pregnancies, her body could no longer tolerate certain foods. She experienced anaphylaxis, which she knew was not a panic attack, and her face swelled up, and her tongue became tingly. Her body began reacting to everything, and she now only eats six foods. In conclusion, Amy's story highlights the challenges of living with multiple health conditions and the difficulties of finding a diagnosis and proper treatment. Her experiences could help others who may be going through the same struggles. #LDN #Low Dose Naltrexone
