When it comes to supplements, quality matters. Many manufacturers are either ignorant, or they just don't have the resources to maintain proper quality control. Low quality supplements could do you more harm than good.

That's why I only recommend professional-grade products that are 3d party tested. These manufacturers encourage independent 3d party certification. Get peace of mind knowing that what's inside the bottle matches what's on the label.

Summary

In this enlightening episode of the Christian Healthy Lifestyle podcast, host David Sandstrom delves into the complex world of autoimmune diseases, focusing on Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Hashimoto's. The episode features a conversation with Ann Molvenna, a listener diagnosed with both conditions, who seeks advice on managing her symptoms and improving her overall health.

Sandstrom begins by addressing the connection between gut health and autoimmune diseases. He explains how inflammation in the gut can lead to increased intestinal permeability, allowing partially digested food particles to enter the bloodstream and trigger immune responses. This process, he suggests, may contribute to the development and progression of autoimmune conditions.

The discussion then moves to practical strategies for managing autoimmune symptoms:

  • Digestive enzymes to support gut health
  • Mediator Release Technique (MRT) testing for food sensitivities
  • Elimination diets to identify problematic foods
  • Metabolic typing to determine optimal macronutrient ratios
  • Gentle exercise, particularly walking after meals
  • Sauna therapy and cold plunges for mitochondrial health
  • Morning sunlight exposure and blue light blocking glasses for improved sleep

Sandstrom emphasizes the importance of addressing sleep issues, as chronic fatigue is a common complaint among those with autoimmune conditions. He suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction may be at the root of this problem and offers advice on supporting cellular energy production through nutrition and lifestyle changes.

Throughout the episode, Sandstrom weaves in a Christian perspective on health and healing, reminding listeners that they are spiritual beings with physical bodies. He encourages a holistic approach to health that considers the interconnectedness of spirit, mind, and body in the healing process.
