Functional medicine offers many things to patients, including hope and understanding. Autoimmune diseases are a prime example: rather than condemning patients to a lifetime of symptom management through medication, functional practitioners dig in to find the “why” and address the underlying causes with individualized, multimodal support to create lasting improvement and systemic healing. My guest today, Dr. Sara Gottfried, is a physician, researcher, author, and educator who is passionate about changing the way we view and treat autoimmunity.
In this episode we discuss:
What is a “traumatic signature” and what is its role in autoimmunity? (5:55)
Hidden Autoimmunity Triggers You May Be Surprised to Learn About (9:30 p.m.)
The essential panel of tests that Sara performs on her patients (27:33)
Sara's Stack for Reducing Cortisol and Why Trauma Needs to Be Considered (39:00)
How trauma affects you biologically through the PINE system (41:40)
Psychedelic therapy and other healing states of consciousness, as well as Sara's personal experience using them (48:10)
What Sara would have liked to tell him about life at 20 (1:15:45)
When we dig deeper, we always discover that there is even more going on beneath the surface. I know you will love this conversation as much as I do.
