I’ve been following Dr. Sullivan and the others that are studying all that the thing I don’t like is the type two diabetes medicine metformin that they take so they won’t end up getting type two diabetes and it’s making them younger and they use a lot of synthetic supplements you’re probably talking about him and NMN AND Risperdal whatever that is in wine but you can get it in teas like Matcha green tea has IgG‘s you know that already I’m sure there anyway Ollie also has a lot of polyphenols but I’m gonna get off here I need to have a UA-cam channel on my own I just like to help people I wanna open a free clinic when I get totally well to people that can’t afford these crazy expensive drugs because you’re gonna have to be rich to be able to take those things they’re very costly and I truly want to help people and if I discover something that can help people I will not share it with the scientist or the medical field or anybody rich because as you know even with regular medication or medicine or doctors or heart doctors or anything you have to have the best insurance or be rich or they won’t help you so I’m going to help people they don’t have the money to afford this and I will become rich believe it or not I know I will because I’m doing gods work and I had this knowledge a word from God that I’m going to live to be 120 be healthy wealthy and wise, my family comes from a blue zone in Italy where people that live over 100 years old live yup OK I’m getting off here before I get in trouble with Google I don’t know how Google deletes my messages that’s what the thing said when they deleted my message before on here makes no sense to me so I know we’re being monitored go figure don’t take me wrong OK but I don’t totally trust anybody that’s on UA-cam because I know if you were telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god UA-cam and kick you off of here so I know you’re not telling us everything and you’re probably trying to sell something but I thank you for your input even though I knew everything you were talking about but I added a few words of wisdom in here because I don’t know if you were going to answer the vegans in here that I do appreciate you and I have an open mind but I’ll never trust anybody 100% not in less they’re helping people for free
okay to save time, she tried to get more sleep, changed her diet by studying her ancestral diet, which led her to cut out most gluten, and that made a major impact. she did detoxes which removed toxins from air pollution, . she slowly weaned off thyroid meds over 14 years, and she studied her estrogen and progesterone levels , then slowly weaned off those hormone replacement drugs as the sleep and diet improvements made a positive impact. also she had a witchdoctor or some clairvoyant come into her house to burn smudge sticks of Southwestern US Native Indian sage and herbs around her home to rid the house of negative energy from the previous home owner. she didnt see that one coming,. she didnt in believe any of it but it opened her mind to think positively and to work on a positive healthy mindset. went to some functional medicine conferences and gradually over a decade , everything worked out and healed her.
- Intermited fast, having daily periods of hunger. Eat less often. - Walk 30 minutes a day, increase as possible. - 2 days a week do 20 minutes of HIIT with strength training. Increase to 60 minutes when possible. - Do elimination diet and find out what works for you. - Take digestive enzymes. - Meditate at least 10 minutes a day - Take cold showers - Weekly shock the system by alternating heat and cold. Example: 10 minutes of sauna, 10 minute of cold by jumping in a swimming pool, alternating between the sauna and pool for 1 hour. - Find your purpose - Love and accept others for who they are and the path they are on and the fact that it is different than your path. - Journal - Love yourself - Forgive yourself and forgive all others - Follow your intuition These were not mentioned here but I felt the need to put this.
You don’t work our nearly enough. You need to work our every day. HIIT and strength training are both important. HIIT will improve your cognitive abilities and strength training will give you bone density and muscle that increase longevity.
@@johnvictorengland7703 anymore than 3 times a week and you don't give yourself enough time to recover and build muscle properly and it depends what your goal is. For purposes of purely maintaining health this is more than enough.
@@NintCondition You're correct. 3 times a week is more than enough. Everyday working out actually wears down the body unless you are in your early twenties. Muscles and other systems need time to recover between workouts on the cellular level.
Bottom line: YOU DON'T NEED MEDICINE :) Medicine is like a band aid to help you relieve the pain temporary without fixing the root cause. If you take your time and do your research, you will find the cure from the nature. I said this because I have done it and it helps me tremendously when my PCP only gave me pain killer with side effect :((
I’m an acupuncturist with a background as a histotechnologist. I am so grateful for this combination that has helped me see health issues in the the eyes of western medicine and how it correlates to disease patterns in traditional Chinese medicine. I love the power of herbal medicine. We treat the whole person, not a named disease. Diseases must be treated on all levels: physical body (electrical, structural), chemical (nutritional, microbiome) and spiritual/emotional. If one area is affected eventually all areas are affected.
I have a chronic illness and my ex rheumatologist laughed at me. Changed to a different one in the same office. Total difference! Be your own advocate!
My rheumatologist was no help so I got a second opinion. The 2nd did some tests and concluded "I wasn't 25 anymore." Finally, I found a doctor who wanted to solve the mystery and discovered I have intrinsic factor antibodies and needed B12 shots. I feel like myself again! And it only took lots of struggling with doctors and thousands of dollars worth of tests!
This should be required listening for every doctor. It’s so frustrating when doctors lable people with mental illness or being a “difficult patient.” The exact same thing happened (is happening) to me. Everyone including my own wife thinks it’s all in my head. The arrogance/ignorance of so many doctors is just tragic.
We are difficult patients, or lots of us are. The problem is that the doctors are the reason we become difficult patients. When doctors contradict each other and say things that are completely incoherant or irrelevant we can do nothing other than say "hang on doctor that doesn't make sense". They are incapable of accepting the validity of our remarks and they don't like us questioning their opinion. For many of us our lives are falling appart around us and doctors refusing facts because they don't understand them is very frustrating. Our frustration is legitimate and doctors should take this into consideration and not presume that the frustration is just because we are weak minded hense all are problems are psychological. When you've seen enough docrors who are all too happy to accept that it's all in your head your friends and familly find it very difficult to not believe them. After all they are doctors and they are supposed to know what is going on. It most certainly is tragic, and i hope you find the answers that you are in so much need of.
I truly feel like this is an epidemic and so many people struggle with a similar story. Mine was 10 years ago and it took so much for me to heal. But even the functional medicine doctors were not helpful. It took so much strength to heal.
@@camendt75 It is an epidemic. The quality of the air on the planet has reached the point where many peoples lymphatic systems can't cope well enough. It's a more crap coming in than going out situation, it all builds up at different speeds for each inividuel. Women are more affected than men because the gas exchange in the lungs is different,they have smaller lungs. Eating a more healthy diet reduces the crap intake and helps the body cope better with what we are breathig. It's not rocket science. Eat a vegan diet or a carnivor diet,filter the air and the water and they will both help. It cannot be because of the specific diet they are totally contradictory.
it also creates an energetic "intensity"..its how prayers get "answered" asap, because we are all energy and vibration...we are emitting a frequency like radio station...how strong or weak it is is dependent on us and our desire/intent😀
I wanted to briefly share how I got my Hashimoto's thyroiditis in remission. 3 years ago I got a infection in pancreas which cause me to be nauseous so I didn't eat for 9 days (basically fasting, however definitely not planned) but tried to keep up my fluid intake. It just happened that when I recovered I needed to have my labs drawn and my doctor was so surprised because my labs reflected 90% remission of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Asked all kinds of questions and once found out I hadn't eaten for 9 days, only had fluids asked if would wait 6 months and do another long fast (5-9 days) and see if we would get it in complete remission. That is exactly what happened after the second fast and now 3 years later, I am still in remission from Hashimoto's thyroiditis. :)
Sometimes the T3 T4 was out of balance and sometimes spot on. Antibodies were for Hashimoto was always high until I did the 9 day fast and by the 2nd time (6 month later) no more. I had my immune system chinking away at my thyroid for 35 years, so it will take some time to have it recover/regenerate and we are working on that. After the fast, to break the fast (especially since this was a longer fast) I would break it with bone broth and after an hour or so, depending on how I felt, I would have half of an avocado and wait and see how my gut was doing and slowly introduce different food again. Also before the bone broth I would take ion biome on empty stomach to restore gut balance. Dr. Mindy Pelz is a wealth of information on fasting, especially for women (find her on youtube)
@@beardseiibeard2812 thank you so much for the information! I wish i would of found this out a long time ago! My medical Doctors never ever mentioned any of this! But I am going to pursue as much as i can; unfortunately medical insurance wont cover most of the Functional services
I'm 63 and avoid doctors, nearly all of whom have failed to help me, and in one case badly scared me with a false diagnosis. What I have learned from self-experimentation is that "less is more," meaning less food, less often. I'm not interested in weight loss, merely feeling optimal, and fasting gives the body time to heal, followed by a healthy diet of real foods. Aside from posting this, I don't discuss my health regimen, as it provokes a lot of unwanted advice and even worry. Do your own research, so much easier these days, thanks to videos such as this one and many more. Best wishes to all for a healthy 2020 and beyond.
@serendipidus1 I agree. There's a famous quote by Sir William Osler, thought to be the "father of medicine" (I talk about his writing in my last video). He said, "Listen to the patient. S/he is telling you the diagnosis."
I don't know why so many docs stop learning in med school. I used to think I was practicing "alternative" medicine. Now I think it is an augmented style to all the conventional medicine.
I began my painful journey when I was pregnant with my 2nd child. Went to doctor after doctor (M.D.'s) Of course my tests were coming up "normal" so they told me I that it was "in your head". Finally I went to a D.O. & was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Took yrs of self help & changing my diet. That was 30 yrs ago. I'm feeling great now & have not had a flare up in 15 yrs. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Out of the hundreds of autoimmune doctors I've heard or read about, she resonates the most. I noticed how most doctors are always missing one factor: our own intuition. Not one body is the same and it's very important to connect to our own body to feel what it needs. Yes, docs help to guide us but not many teach us how to connect to and listen to our own bodies, these beautiful vessels that are much more intelligent than we allow them to be! Go Dr. Li!
1:02:02 Physician-Scientist who chose an alternative career path. I tell this to my new medical students every year. “Every Doctor should be a patient at some point in need of medical care; it changes your practice completely” Thank you esteemed colleagues for a vital conversation!
I went through every single stage of illness that Dr. Li went through. I'm year 6 into my healing journey but KNOW that my autoimmune journey started YEARS before I hit rock bottom. I decided to take control of my health and saw major improvements and can now say that I absolutely put my autoimmune disease into remission. It propelled me to spread the message as far and wide as I could. I switched careers and made my life mission to help people get over their thyroid/hashimoto's disease!
Where do you practice? I recently took myself off my meds and feel better already. But weight gain and some other issues are a problem. I have growths in my thyroid that so will get rechecked every year or six months. But the meds were giving me heart issues.
@@victoriaaustin2468 I healed myself of a severe asthmatic histamine intolerance/auto-immune disorder in *_5 months_* and lost 26 lbs in the process by adopting a fasting lifestyle with very clean food when I did eat. I intermittent fasted 23:1 80% of the time, 16:8 20% of the time and in those 5 months did four 3-day fasts (one was 98 hours, actually) that aren't included in those percentages. When I did eat I ate organic, non-GMO, you know the drill...no added sugar, etc. _5 months_ is UNHEARD OF. Get Dr. Mindy Pelz's book, "Fast Like a Girl" and beat this without weight gain. I can't imagine taking YEARS to do this. I had as severe an intolerance as one gets - I was nearly anaphylactic every damn day so I was seriously in trouble. If you want to get a hold of this fast...well, *fast!*
I'm reversing hypothyroidism and celiac disease with information I've read from a book called medical medium. It's life changing! You should definately read it and help me spread the word🙂
Similar experience but I'm a nurse, I had celiac, Sjogrens, fatty liver, HTN, depression and anxiety from a bad diet. I quit the meds and fasted at 1st then started a diet full of healthy fats and nutrients. I feel so much better. I'm sitting next to a stack of old text books. Learning meditation was a turning point for me. There's too much wrong in our current medical system to mention. Here's to seeking and finding real health!
This video should be mandatory for ALL DOCTORS as part of their CE. They should also mandate 1000 hours of nutrition training for ALL doctors as well. I have less and less faith in the myopic view from doctors who practice allopathic medicine anymore. This video was wonderful. Thank you and God Bless
@@FB-bo3sj You are a very smart woman. Good for you. Just because you are married, doesn't mean you cannot think for yourself. Yes, you can love him and still have your own mind. : ) Blessings to you.
@@FB-bo3sj they are brain washed with superiority complex...they are so highly programmed to a point they blind to see common sense most if the time. I salute them for putting together body parts, etc. But when it comes to natural healing they are not for it because...no sickly patients, no business. If a person to that has graduate degrees are called doctors...lol... chiropractors, naprapathic doctors also went beyond their master's degree to get there. The bottom line is: Patients. Results. Are they healthy and healed??? It doesn't matter the degrees and practice. So many misdiagnosis are made out here by "Medici" doctors. Money making is the root. Students who are brain washed to disgrace other healers (that are effective) are probably victims of the System of Money Worship, shrink the brains of humans fantastic self healing design. Yes, design.
They have medical liscence. They passed the medical board exam set by US Govt. So they are REAL DOCTORS indeed. But doctors are different in the way they trained and belief. These two doctors are just open minded to all avenues of healing and this include not only they learned in medical school but holistic medicine using broad understanding of human body function.
"You can only heal what you are connected to... what is going on in your body, you can't heal something you are detached from"....BINGO!! That is the key statement in this whole conversation for me in healing my body and my autoimmune disease. Also, loved learning more about the Ancestral diet, researching that for sure! 💎💜🙏🏼
I was diagnosed with lupus at 25 yrs. I always rebelled against the high dose, toxic drugs the doctors wanted to put me on. I only took the bare minimum and ate well, got lots of rest and have remained as stress free as possible and I'm still alive 30 yrs later and I'm not a big toxic, bloated mess. Conventional medicine is almost worthless for autoimmune illness in my opinion.
After being diagnosed with connective tissue, RA then lupus over 13 years, I’m scared. I want to remain hopeful but at time I can’t stop myself feeling fearful, lonely and helpless
Wow ! I am a doctor, I caught Lyme disease in 2010, I moved into a house with a mold problem in 2015 and got sick, Hypothyroid in 2018, I went to China for training in 2019 and got sick, I had G.I issues and got sick. I had normal traditional test results and kept getting worse. I felt like I was being gas lighted by my colleagues. Functional medicine saved my life, now I am looking forward to Bioenergetics APM this Friday...😊 P.s I love you guys, thanks for leading the way into this paradigm.
@@nomade438 My big turning points were, Elimination diet, staying gluten and dairy free afterwards. Magnesium and B1 and B12 supplementation. Getting better sleep, breathing exercises, and massively increasing phytochemical diversity...More variety in fruits, vegetables and spices. At one point I needed digestive support.
Did you prescribe yourself all sorts of toxic drugs that dont' work? That should be a requirement for a doctor. Then don't listen to yourself complain.
@@Notme-tq4xs No I faithfully listened and followed my doctors advise, no self medicating. The only self medicating thing I did was rage quit taking the meds.
I love hearing TWO DOCTORS discussing how the basic medical system does not know it all. Acknowledging the body systems tied together with diet. HUGE! Thank you!
I once dared to tell my specialist that certain food trigger an auto immune response on me by experience. He immediately didn't want to listen to that. But I knew that he wasn't going to listen in the first place, I would never bother again because only if he had the disease himself he would know first hand. Yes, Food with Gluten specially cookies makes me feel terrible right the next day, I don't need a doctor to tell me otherwise.
@@livenow1788 That is an understatement. I would look at it upside down, there are few fields where conventional medicine is effective and those are not diseases but trauma and wounds or broken bones and the invention of antibiotics, antifungal and antivirus. 95% of conventional medecine is treating symptoms, knocking down the patient with drugs (opiates) or cutting a part of the body. That sums it up.
There is a Very REAL connection between our physical/biological self and our emotional/spiritual self. When you are able to understand and to heal the inner-emotional self; your physical self can be fine tuned and repaired. This I believe whole-heartedly from my own experience in healing. The hardest part is getting to the root of the 'trauma' when a person may not know or recognize it may exist in one's self. Sometimes this is hard to accomplish if you are being artificially medicated. The body is equipped with the ability to heal. Finding the right way is key.
I can totally relate to all of these. I stopped seeing my doctor & started living my life again . Fr the basics. Sleep, movements, rhythm, eating properly ( I thought I was before but I wasn’t doing enough) , and stress ..getting rid of toxic people around me . I was traveling for a many years & the the environmental effects , everything adds up. This was 10 years ago. Until today I’m still learning, food, sleep, our body & mind & getting rid of the rashes & joint aches all over my body. I am healing myself not by traditional medicine but what my grandparents did ...all back to basic & jump start my body . Traditional medicine is not for chronic diseases. Doctors can’t tell what sort of autoimmune diseases I got . Gluten..got rid of that devil 5 years now. Reading all food labels. Preparing all my meals & walking 30mins a day !
That is because back in 1924, David rockerfeller, began a purge on all America's natural healing and holistic medicine schools. this birthed the big pharma control of the world. Thankfully, this too, among other things like the private federal reserve bank, the political system, the entire commerce system, the crooked msm, the big tech social media platforms, and many other crooked, big things are all being systematically, painstainstakingly dismantled. I don't know how long this will take, hopefully, not much longer.
My doctor let me use the natural route for a crippling autoimmune disease. She was wonderful. She said she took an oath so if she saw things getting really bad she would have to give me meds as per her oath but it’s my choice to take them or not. As she saw me getting better and better she started learning natural medicine. She was wonderful, supportive and life changing in my healing. I’ve got a great doctor ❤️. The doctor prior to her, when I was noticing little symptoms here and there but didn’t know it was autoimmune, she told me “you’re young, you’re thin, you’re fine. It’s all in your mind”. Meanwhile my body was attacking itself hour by hour.
Yesss!!!!!! Absolutely yes!!! You are correct and your doctor is a doctor and not a parrot repeating what they have been teach since the beginning of their carrier. Mine are like that or I teach them Lol! Some of them are listening carefully now about other ways to do. One of them saved his legs by just receiving a lymphatic drainage! After 17 days hospitalized and receiving the strongest antibiotics ever, he did not improved. I recommend the drainage because it was clear that his system was clogged and was just transporting garbage up and down all day long without having the capacity to clear itself and the body from harming crap. And of course, could not transport the antibiotic to the needed places. He did and a little later he was running like a kid and he is big man! How could he forgot what lymphatic system is about? Well they know what it is but do not know how to holistically work with it. Same with the rest of the body- mind - spirit.
This is my story. After more than 15 years of trying to figure out what was wrong with my body, I ended up with a Psychiatrist telling me that I had Clinical Depression. I explained to him that if I had Clinical Depression why do I still have goals? People with depression lose hope. That was not me. I just wanted my body to help me achieve, and my body was tired and in pain, so that was frustrating me. I explained that my body is making me get frustrated, and that leads to depression. He wouldn't listen to me. A couple of times he even dozed off in front of me...like sorry for boring you sir. He waived me off and just handed me the slip for the next appointment. I have found my own remedies, and today, I own my own wellness clinic specializing in massage. I see many people who are this same position, and I am happy to fast track them to wellness. Now, I refer patients to functional medical doctors who they can go to to get real answers.
This is exactly what is happening with me. I've been sick 13 years which has caused depression. I also have dreams and goals but this pain and suffering is stopping me from Doing anything which is making me depressed. 😢 No ones listening.
I followed Dr. Brooke Goldner and Dr. Berg's advise. They have lots of videos on youtube and they are SOOO helpful. What helped me was changing my diet and introducing more vegetables (juicing them every morning really helps - spinach, kale, celery, chard, zuccini) . Stay away from high inflammatory foods like highly processed foods, gluten, dairy, sugar. Goodluck!!!
There is a famous saying in Ayurveda (traditional Indian medicine), quite simply put, 'food is medicine'....it cant solve everything, but truly changing your food habits changes the game...
This story with Cynthia Li is MY story too! Becoming violently ill in Mexico while on honeymoon - and I was "never the same since." Later finding out I had chronic Lyme, Endometriosis, Hashimotos Thyroiditis, Celiac Disease, PCOS....and so on after seeing a string of specialists. It was finally a homeopathic doctor that was able to educate me of the cascade effect of the food I was eating and stressful lifestyle I was living (Lean Cuisine was a "healty meal" and running 8-10 miles per day on the treadmill followed by an hour of heavy weight lifting FOR YEARS). I thought I was "so on top of things" and boy was I wrong. After years of coming to terms with my food sensitivities and hormone imbalances, I'm finally starting to recover. After gaining 85 pounds due to exercise intolerance and overall fatigue (and depression) I'm about 75% back to a healthy body. Food is medicine, and so is rest, self care, setting boundaries, finding peace and silence within. Thank you for spreading this message and for helping bring awareness to this very real, very debilitating issue that affects so many.

This is really great to see that doctors are speaking up. I wanted to mention that I learned that alot of cheese is processed with gluten and is not marked as containing gluten. I was in France trying to order a gluten free cheese dish and the chef came out to me and says that alot of these cheeses we produce are made with gluten - it's really made a difference for me to stick to the cheeses that are marked gluten-free.
When dairy is pastuerized, it completely changes the structure of it from beneficial to harmful. Raw dairy is healing to the body. Dr. Axe compared pastuerized milk to vegetable soy oil loaded with sugar, whereas; raw milk is fine.
Gluten will kill the body yet everything is made with it. Try finding a loaf of bread without it. Impossible. And, if you do find gluten free it’s unbearable in taste.
I have an autoimmune condition, symptoms of lupus. Lichen Planus, heart, liver, kidnney and spleen pain. I gave up trying to be heard by the doctors, so I started researching. And that made them angry, my doctor's office sent me a letter telling me I couldn't see my doctor any more because I had asked them to stop sending me to specialists. The ones I had seen had given me drugs without telling me they planned to, and were treating me with disrespect. There was a kidney doctor who yelled at me for not wanting radioactive iodine. I had been having thyroid symptoms and my mother has hashimotos. I said I didn't want contrast. And this woman treated me like I was being a difficult 4 year old. She was the last straw. I asked to just give me blood tests and stop sending me to specialists anc they tlld me I couldn't come there for testing or to see my primary anymore.
So sorry you had to go through that. The arrogance of the medical establishment is horrible. And many times when you talk to them and ask questions, they have no answers.
That is so sad I just think its not how,they should treat people they are paid to help why not discuss why ,, they want you to have certain meds what for and what they help !,, and what side effects could be
Looking for good doctors, change them and one worst then first one, BayCare push them to have as much patience they can during the day. We live in strange world. Good doctor gone.
From my experience: if you have a chronic condition, read as much as possible about it in legitimate scientifically validated sites. Observe your symptoms and keep a notebooks and record everything you do, eat and frequency of your symptoms. NO doctor however skilled can replace your observations. However for urgent need go to UC or ER. Above all follow a healthy lifestyle including proper diet, exercise, meditation and take things easy. After all we are all rushing towards death- so what’s the hurry? Why waste your hard earned money on a ignorant doctors and a shockingly crappy health care system?
@@bhatakthirooh If you do enough research you can often know as much or more than a doctor. In some cases it's not their fault; all doctors have little time. Helps if you can bring some printouts of pertinent articles. Problem is to get them to read them.
Yes, thank you ♥ for your comment - I made a similar experience with one exception then one great doctor who is already retired said to me that he could imaginge that I was treated poorly .... it was a relief someone who believed me and he did not want any money he said to me: I am 75 years old and happy for my fulfilled life I would like to give something back and I want to help you....
It took 4 years for Dr’s to diagnose me. Many specialists, many different diagnosis. I was super depressed. I, finally, went to an Internist who decided to do a Pneumo Vac test. She took my blood, then injected me with 12 strains of Pneumonia. I returned 4 weeks later. She compared my blood to the original blood sample. I was diagnosed with CVID. I felt relieved. I started the the IVIG treatment. I did it for 5 years. I still have problems with GI and arthritis but, at least , I know what I have. It is VERY frustrating to repeat your symptoms over and over. I pray for all of you that don’t know what you have. Don’t let Dr dictate to you. There are many times that they are wrong. Insist on tests that you think might shed light. Trust your gut. You know your body. ❤❤
I liked the podcast so much that I watched it twice. I felt like you were talking about me even though I am still 27 years old and I have to deal with this disease... I have changed my lifestyle and I feel good without any medications since the beginning of the disease.. I want to add that the part about Intuition was the best part because in Islam, thanks to Allah, we learned to have a strong faith that Allah will heal us, and we have to rely on Him and believe in Him. Start by taking all means of healing and not relying only on modern medicine, and this is what I did with God’s help.
Stress can trigger cancer and many serious conditions. My adrenals/thyroid are a mess. This may or may not have been caused by stress, but the physical results are very real. To dismiss "stress" is such a cop out.
One very important point the doctor made here was the spiritual/emotional awareness and healing. In my personal experience, emotional baggage tends to get stored in the body and eventually manifests as physical symptoms. Being in touch with your emotions, healing trauma through writing, praying, meditation, forgiveness of self and others is paramount. Finally, l agree with the anti inflammatory/detox/clean diet are important in healing and prevention. But l would also add fasting as an important ingredient in staying healthy. I highly recommend it to all my patients as a means to lose wait and heal/prevent chronic disease and cancer.
So true.... we are body, soul,and spirit. Physical, emotional, and spiritual. What affects one, affects the others! And unforgiveness (of self and others) causes all kinds of diseases, especially cancer.
@@elenadecosta l mean abstaining from all foods for a min of 18 hrs to a whole day done once a week. Always with your doctors approval because fasting is not for everyone.
I really like the word "step-wise" to describe the healing journey. It can seem so overwhelming to cut out gluten, dairy, sugar, and meditate if progress is not made in a step-wise manner. Start with something such as cutting out gluten, and take your time with it. When you are ready, go to the next step. With every step, you realize that you are that much stronger and you can keep going.
🌿🌸🕊 what you're saying is true unless you have a life threading disease (have already had heart surgery, severe diabetes, cancer, severe arthritis etc.) then you don't have the luxury of changing your diet/lifestyle slowly.
That's what I did. Just little steps that grew into bigger and even better steps. The challenge is getting the family to understand why you don't want to cook their shit food anymore because they have not yet experienced the down fall.
This conversation strengthens my faith in God. We are designed and everything works in unison the way God intended. I’ve never heard the term Functional Medicine before but I understand it immediately.

I commented in more detail on the thread below regarding the summary of the interview, but overall I'd say, this interview was worth it and think every PCP and medical student should watch it. She clearly expressed what every single person who's suffered from any type of chronic pain and gone through the usual channels in our "healthcare" system feels when no answers are found and every specialist sees you with a narrowed lens and no answers mean it's in your head type of thing
I was in pain for 5 years, it affected my mental health, positivity, my work. Five doctors dismissed me and one told me I should get counselling as I was imagining the pain. I described the pain as shards of glass, scratching my insides. I now understand what it was thanks to Sally K Norton. It was High Oxalates in my body.
Me too! Go to Sally’s website and download the list of high and low oxalate foods. Not just spinach and almonds, but things like black pepper and chocolate. It is helping me a lot.
I had this same symptom when I had endometriosis during mid-cycle and when I had to have a b.m. I was in a horrible amount of pain. When I had a total hysterectomy at age 33 all of the pain went away. The doctor told me my uterus was folded backwards like an envelope from the scarring and it was a miracle I was able to have my son. Sometimes treatments like herbs and food won't heal things in the body that need to be cut out. I know many people will disagree with me but my own experience has made it clear to me.
The medical system is failing us all. We need a proactive preventative approach not just a reactive one. Instead of just putting a Band-Aid on the wound find out what is causing the wound. When people are needing to see up to six doctors for what should be a simple diagnosis and effective treatment you know something is wrong.
I agree, doctors should be paid to keep us well. We should pay them regularly if we are healthy. They shouldn't be paid if we are sick or unable to earn money- work.
Three ophthalmologists and two doctors and not one could figure out i had dermetitis. Even after i went to my primary care doctor and told him i think i have an allergic reaction he dismissed it. Walked myself into an allergist... well i am allergic to neomycin 2nd most common allergy in dermatitis. Seriously? I had to diagnosed myself? Had a cough for two months was told to take a cough drop. Again walk myself to a pulmonologist had bronchitis triggered by allergic reactions. The amount of contaminants and carcinogens are too much for living beings to take and our autoimmune systems are under too much stress. Most doctors are a huge disappointment. Fibromyalgia, Raynauds, Interstitial cystitis are all syndromes .. tell someone their pain isn't real. An women get treated differently too.. We are depressed or hysterical and once we reach 45 we are Perimenopause then Menapouse they have an answer to everything for us but the real one.
I went through the same experience as Dr. Li. after the birth of my child , i got thyroid disease and it couldnt be diagnosed for many months in traditional medicine. It wasnt until my neck had protruded and swollen , and i started getting these heat attacks, that i was taken seriously. As is the trend here in Kenya, after delivery, one is put on birth control because it is claimed that when a woman is breast feeding, that is when she is most fertile. That worked against me and literally messed up my whole hormonal system. I am lucky to have finally diagnosed Graves Disease, but a close friend of mine died after she gave birth to her baby, because her hyperthyroidism could not be detected. I then founded the Thyroid Disease Awareness Kenya Foundation just to help people learn exactly what is being discussed here. We hope to demistify this myth and empower people to take charge of their own health, by arming them with the right information. So happy right now to hear these two traditional doctors accept the fact that traditional medicine and what they are taught is not always the truth. The body is a very complex combination of systems that so delicately depend on one another, and when one system is off, then the rest of the systems cannot work properly. The endocrine system is the most under emphasized system in the medical world, and yet the most important systems in the body. Like people here will tell you of the digestive system, the reproductive system, but the endocrine system is so foreign. We are working to demistify that.
Oh wow I will check out your foundation. I did have some thyroid issues and I healed with apple cider vinegar, mediation, baking soda, exercise and being positive. No one understands thyroid issues in Kenya. Thanks dear for bringing this up.
@@creatingsweetmemories i am soo happy for you Grace. Like you are in the complete clear??? goood job. your consistency is so inspiring.You can get on our support group on fb and share your experience with the rest of us. I cant believe you did it naturally. please share with other women in the group . Im sure they would have a million questions for you. we are @thyroiddiseaseawarenesskenya on fb. ill be waiting for you
@@cardiyansane1414 That is so awesome. You can still work with us from wherever you are. We can use all the help and advice we can get. I will appreciate it very much
Breast feeding makes you completely infertile, because prolactin suppresses ovulation. ts used as contraception in many parts of the world ,including Africa.
It's amazing to me how similar my story is to hers with autoimmune issues. I'm not a doctor. Doctors wouldn't listen to me because my labs were "normal". I did research for 3 years on my own and slowly got my life back. I am on Levothyroxine. A low dose to get me in the optimal range rather than just normal range. Finally a doctor was willing to try it but he told me beforehand that he thought it wouldn't work. It worked. It helped with the last leg of getting my entire life back.
@@TheBushRanger. since I posted this I also learned I was extremely low in Ferritin. Once I got that in the normal range and I've been on my levothyroxine and have had the dose increased several times. My life health has gotten dramatically better. Aside from the occasional accidental glutening making me sick for weeks at a time.
It was not an accident that I came across this video at this point in my life, suffering for a long time now from an auto-immune disease. Thank you for sharing Dr. Li and Dr. Hyman. God bless you and yours!
I had a dozen doctors look at me for 3 years, and eventually concluded that my symptoms (head-to-toe nerve issues) were psychosomatic. Therapy did and is continuing to help, but there's so much more to the story. I was basically abandoned after they decided everything was "in my head." Over the past couple years I've been strengthening my body, eating dofferently, sleeping properly, and prioritizing self care. I've been learning about trauma and how it affects the vagus nerve, about histamine intolerance, and about leaky gut -- and I'm slowly fixing myself. Didn't even have to go to med school. 😂 Looking into thyroid health now, thanks! 💕✌️
So thankful for this interview. Truly empowered me & validated my suffering. How I feel and my rights matter, too. No longer allowing these Dr’s to tell me how my body should feel or what I should do. Started IF, healing my gut, I know once I get to the root of the problem all the other symptoms will go away. To those suffering - trust yourself! You will find the answers in time. And if any Dr’s don’t take you seriously or dismiss/undermine you - move on! Find someone who has compassion, asks you the right questions & seeks to understand rather than be understood. Much love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A great interview, thanks. As a chiropractor who does Functional Medicine for decades I found the self journey about thinking ,"I know it all" as a ____ doctor that this applies to all doctors, DCs, MDs, NDs, etc. We think the one thing we learned or found is the only or main way to heal people and we lose our open mindedness to other disciplines of healing, traditional and modern. Be open minded as a doctor and never stop being open to other ideas if healing. Thanks.
My former doctor told me that the "formula" was 1 medication for each decade of life. I told him that the fact that there is a "formula" is the issue. And, I do believe that doctors perpetuating chronic illness by telling patients that they will be taking their meds for the rest of their lives and not giving them the hope that they could possibly heal themselves by other means.
I’m a second year medical student and have a strong interest in functional medicine. I have felt for years diet and lifestyle can prevent or reverse many of the chronic diseases that sicken millions of people. I myself developed benign fasciculation syndrome last April and still deal with some of the symptoms this day. I was super stressed, very anxious, and had a terrible bout of insomnia during my first year and have jacked up the balance in my body. I know that I will reverse this in time and it won’t be because of a medication. It will be proper nutrition, proper sleep, proper mental health, and proper exercise. I feel those are the cornerstones of remaining or returning to wellness.
HiMDZac2024: keep up your wellness protocol as best you can during the rest of med school. You will be sleep deprived during your residency ( not fair) . You will be tempted to grab junk food for quick energy but try to resist. Listen to Dr. Rob Lustig about how fast food is laced with sugar and is addictive. Using junk food to keep going could trigger the start of metabolic syndrome.
THIS!!!!!! Just in & out!!! No empathy or compassion!! My rheumatologist can’t even pronounce my name & wants to give me lots of drugs!!! No questions of my past, lifestyle, mental health. Nothing. Like someone else commented, be your own advocate & trust yourself! We live in our own bodies, we know our bodies better than anyone!
This conversation gave me hope for the future of doctors. I lost faith and trust in doctors about 40 years ago, so I stayed healthy by not going near them. For broken bones, they're great, and I valued the fact of them being there. But they aren't the road to health. Naturopaths, herbalists, osteopaths, acupuncurists, nutrition, minerals, vitamins, sea and tissue salts, meditation, colon cleanses, electrical cleaning, trusting your instinct, which doesn't lie, and avoiding pharmaceuticals where possible is the journey I took. This has lead to better understanding my systems, trusting the intelligence of the body, having confidence in the human design and it's ability to heal itself. Incentivised medicine for profit is killing it. What has it got to do with real CARE.
This was a very inspiring video! I am 69 years old and have been sick for 5 months so far and just found out today that I have an autoimmune disease. After hearing Dr. Cynthia Li’s story, I now have more faith that I can get well. Thank you both very much for not only telling us your own stories that some of us can relate to but also for being so honest to describe the differences between conventional medicine and functional medicine. It is very refreshing to hear two respected doctors admit that so many doctors not only don’t believe what we tell them but they leave so much unresolved. It is wonderful to hear you are both medical doctors that see and know that functional medicine has so much to offer to all of us. I only wish that all doctors would take the time to listen to you both!! Thank you again!!!
Thank you. I wish your colleagues would do the same. They hurt people in severe pain, every day, by their ignorance and dismissiveness. It is hard enough to have to battle pain, without also having to battle the medical profession. We lose our livelihoods, and sometimes our lives, without any help.
@@mbd6054 doctors trained in modern aka big pharma medicine just don't have the tools to deal with chronic and autoimmune conditions. I haven't seen a doctor in over 10 years now, you have to take matters into your own hands.
@@AP-bo1if Yes, I know, but as these diseases progress they tend to damage vital organs, and when in life endangering situations, one is drawn back into the quagmire of 'modern medicine'.
@@mbd6054 Let food be your medicine! Do yourself a big favor and read up on chaga mushroom, camu camu and first milking colostrum. They help immensely to heal and regenerate the whole body if taken on a daily basis in sufficient, therapeutic amounts. Do your best to avoid all forms of corn and corn starch, soy, wheat, margarine, vegetable oil (corn, canola, soybean, sunflower, safflower, peanut, etc.), GRAIN-FED eggs/poultry/red meat/dairy and of course refined sugar/flour and junk/fast food. It's all about prevention of disease rather than treating or masking symptoms with modern Rx drugs. Best of luck and health to you.
@@tehnewsguy Thank you very much. You are wise. I have tried much of what you recommend, except for the mushrooms and colostrum, which sound very interesting. You are very kind, and I will read up as you suggest. I wish you good health and good fortune, and am most grateful to you.
This is BRILLIANT. I love these conversations around breaking out of the “modern medicine paradigm”. It has a strong hold on the masses. The fact that you both had awakenings is NO accident. This is your calling.. to wake up people to the power of ourselves, the power of healing, and the power of how nature intended for us to live!!! Bravo
I was chronically ill and clairvoyant. Born with both. Never discount the unseen or misunderstood factors. Everything is energy. All is connected. Vibration matters. There is not just the physical …. All physicians should heal thyself first!!! On all levels before administering to others. Thank you for sharing the wealth of your growth and recovery!❤
This! This right here speaks to my soul! It is the type of healthcare practice I want to learn more about and absorb as much as I can. I’m a nurse, and I knew right away there is something wrong and something profoundly missing in our healthcare system. It discouraged me from the field, I almost wanted to change careers, especially during this pandemic. I’ve watched both my mom and my aunt’s health deteriorate drastically, they’re both ICU nurses, they both had to force retire and did not fully enjoy their retirement. I made a promise to learn from their mistakes and to put my health first. Thus video gives me hope. The body is so smart! And everything works together, not in isolation.
Wow! 'Difficult patient' stigma is something I know so v well! also, the way drs treat you with psychiatric meds - anti- anxiety, depression... so glad to hear someone else knows and understands it. Being told often to visit a psychiatrist. Autoimmune is a lonely journey.
I wonder if I will ever encounter a physician who says this to me? They know I am an academic, clinical, and research psychologist with 20 plus years experience, they wouldn't dare! I was just diagnosed with hypothyroidism due to low TSH levels. The diagnosis is always confirmed in lab work, not just symptoms in traditional medicine. This is for insurance coding and billing purposes. We have the same paradigm in clinical psychological practice. Am on thyroid meds. I think this started with a meal in a Houston Chinese restaurant in the late 1980s. Dont remember what I ate. I was 40, dizzy, so dizzy I was throwing up. After a month, I had a MRI to check for brain tumor. I have have had balance issues ever since 30 yrs. FInally after four mos wearing scopalomine patches my vertigo eased up. I had had chicken pox in my childhood. Later in my 60s, Shingles appeared, treating with aycyclovir. I had dental issues took two courses of antibiotics killed all my gold gut bacteria, got systemic candida. Treating that with Fluconazol. Some functional medicine pratitioners have studied thousands of medical studies and found that three common factors were in most thyroid patients a viral infection, followed later, sometimes years later by vertigo, tiredness etc.,. Then high stress becomes a trigger. Finally gluten and sometimes dairy sensitivity. That fits my path. I am certain I have had chronic low level hypothyroidism. The causes were multiple. THe management is multiple.....I have inflammation of nerves with numb feet, cold hands and feet, muscle tiredness and weakness, it is believed the cerebellum in the lower back of the brain is inflammed infectiong balance etc. I have periodic brain fog...my intellect when not exhausted and inflammed, is not affected, not my long term memory. My short term memory IS affected when I am inflammed but not,when I am not inflamed. I am not depressed , I was mystified and curious, not,happy about symptoms but otherwise happy in my life. I know everything has a cause. I was eating a very healthy high plant medium protein diet, low sugar, low gluten diet. Now I know that isnt enough for ME at THIS stage I must have NO sugar, substitutes, or gluten. SO this is a journey for me now my body needs more protein, red meats as I was anemic . More spinach, folic acid supplementation. Zero gluten. Zero sugar.
@@latinaalma1947 i just got the same symptoms low tsh, normal t3 t4. muscle tiredness weakness with just little usage. May i know if you have cured yourself? is the answer zero gluten and sugar?
I am a physician and was treated the same way before being diagnosed with lupus 10 years ago. I am sorry you were treated inhumanely. There is no other word for it. Self trust and nutrition is the beginning of great healing. Hope you are doing better. Be brave.
Ignored so many times for the same issues as these two, wrote a book "Dying for a Diagnosis" after having a near death experience as a result of misinformed doctors. This was a great interview thank you
I HIGHLY recommend Chlorella for inflammatory digestive disorders and ulcers. Also, NAC for detox support, antioxidant effects, lung health, liver support and suppression of viral replication. Get your sweat on, get your sleep, cut out the crap food, get your vitamin D with K, eliminate dairy, wheat and soy.
@@mariafirenzi4764 actually that is an unfortunate myth. Billions of people who consume soy do not have disrupted hormones. Pls watch the Game Changers. Doctors break down the mis information about soy.
I admire the financial independence of people, But you can live better if you work a little more. After watching this I think there are people out there, on the extreme, who plan to die early just to be able to retire early. To each their own but to me, retirement isn't just about not having to work, it's about having the freedom to do whatever you might reasonably want, such as travel, buying things, enjoying life, etc. I don't think I could retire with less than $3m in income-generating investments, maybe $2m at the very minimum. I plan to work until I'm at least 45
Nobody knows anything, you need to create your own process, manage risk and stick to the plan, through thick or thin while also continuously learning from mistakes and improving
@@BrunoLuke Having an investment adviser is the best way to go about the market right now, especially for near-retirees, I've been in touch with a coach for a while now mostly cause I lack the depth knowledge and mental fortitude to deal with these recurring market conditions, I netted over $220K during this dip, that made it clear there's more to the market that we avg joes don't know

Einstein's Cat That is a life long journey. One thing I suggest is to step outside yourself and try and see the person (which is you) as the primary care giver of that soul. You have been given huge responsibilities with that soul. How are you going to take care of it?
I was listening to Robert Martindale, MD PhD. He is a Surgeon with his PhD in nutrition. He has studied probiotics extensively. He explains how inflammation starts in the Gut. He has devoted his life to giving lectures to Doctors about how nutrition can heal you.
Very interesting and insightful podcast. I am a family doctor myself and have suffered from chronic conditions. I think util you become really sick yourself, you dont really challenge the traditional western medicine. I love to be able incorporate holistic medicine into my practice and help my patients beyond just numbers ! Thanks for this :)
while this may sound strange, to be a great holistic doctor you should go examine their kitchen...that will tell you all you need to know, if it's junk? or if there's "nothing"? then that's even worse, they are fast food junkies...either way it's where any treatment should start
Other than Hyman's occasional interruptions, I found Li's retelling of her journey compelling and informative. Thank you for holding space for her experience.
Let food be your medicine! Read up on medicinal mushrooms and first milking colostrum. They help immensely to heal and regenerate the entire body and all it's organs if taken on a daily basis in sufficient, therapeutic amounts. Colostrum is especially important for anyone with a weakened or compromised immune system. Do your best to avoid all forms of corn and corn starch, soy, wheat, vegetable oil (corn, safflower, canola, soybean, sunflower, etc.), red meat/dairy (except for grass fed) and of course refined sugar and junk/fast food. It's all about prevention of disease rather than treating or masking symptoms with modern drugs. Best of luck and health to you.
@@tehnewsguy is sunflower oil bad? My daughter gave me some frozen colostrum. And frozen colostrum milk.. I'm hoping to whip them up into a Balm, (nipple cream/nappy rash) Perhaps different to what you are speaking about?
@@ralsharp6013 Yes, it's best to avoid the consumption of this oil or any food with sunflower oil due to the fact it is too high in polyunsaturated omega-6 fat and is highly refined and oxidized which greatly contributes to chronic inflammation plus the formation of damaging free radicals in the body. You are much better off eating a small amount of sunflower seed. Avocado, extra virgin olive & coconut oil are much safer and healthier. Grass-fed ghee/butter is also a healthy choice. As for colostrum, it can be taken either directly into the mouth with some water or mixed in food or beverage. It can also be used externally as a paste applied to the skin to heal a rash or minor cuts or wounds more quickly without scarring.
@@DarkAngel-cj6sx Yes, I'm currently taking chaga daily for overall health and disease prevention. More specifically, I'm taking two different mushroom products. One is a blend of five medicinal mushrooms (reishi, chaga, cordyceps, turkey tail, lion's mane) with cacao and coconut palm sugar and the other product is just ground chaga powder. They are both dual extraction and micronized to obtain the full benefits and for better/improved absorption. They are kind of expensive but it's much easier than purchasing the raw material and making my own from scratch at home. Besides the fact that I really like and enjoy chocolate so it's a win-win for me.
Lo Mei Seh. Yes, but how did she heal? Good was to hear she learned basic intuition, to turn off the left brain and on the right. To take herself for walks at regular times, not just her dog! To get sleep, since that gives necessary energy etc. Did you get what else? And WHAT is the inflammation diet? Vegs? Some say animal protein is good for inflammation, my nutrition therapist said it gives inflammation, at least in larger quantities. Idk what to eat, esp since OI can't digest protein, not carbs and not sugar, and have been stuck in sugar addiction and compulsive over-and undereating for years. With teeth eroding and breaking quickly and terribly, I can't even chew properly which worsens digestion, absorption etc, and I have too much stress and anxiety to chew for long, too. So exhausted, get very little done,and feel chased by the need tió save my life an´nd do sth useful and LIVE. Hope you answer. I am serious in self-help, but too threatened, sleep deprived, malnourished through stress and isolated to be clear and motivated. HAve struggled for decades.
@@Medietos Animal protein from (almost all) mammals does give inflammation, just research Neu5Gc. There is one thing which reduces inflammation more than anything else; Omega-3 oil. Flax seed is the only seed which has much more Omega-3 than Omega-6. Our stomach acid can't break down the hull, so it needs to be ground first. If using only the oil; flax seed oil oxidizes easily (is called going rancid), so needs to be kept cool and as hermetically sealed as possible. You also need some coconut oil with it, to enable to body to convert it to the usable form. Get a nutrients & minerals test done, and take care of any deficiencies, primarily through diet, secondly through supplements. Both magnesium and calcium are a lot easier to just take as supplement. You should aim to transisition to a mostly alkaline, ketogenic diet. Stay away from highly processed artificial "foods". If you can't chew your food, use a grinder or blender first.
@@silvergreylion thanks, but what made you think I did not know anything because I had forgotten just that Q? Oh, how I need advice on the things I do NOT know! And individual support. Btw, how would coconut oil help the flax seed oil, have not heard of that. I like coconut oil, but it is Yin and some say it is not that good to use. I am at a loss what ton eat, meat good for Zn and blood sugar but not for rheumatism and acid... Have to get blood sugar in order and manage to eat 3 meals, and with small portions only of wild meat, it should be Ok.I am too sick for the health program with HMA I want to do, and need assistence to manage. An advocate to get the assistence...I know my imbalances 2,5 years ago, and don't think they are better, since stress is too bad for body to digest and absorb etc. Can't make energy, freezing since years , with hot skin and freezing cold. Would you be good enough to Please pray for my peace, stress relief, assistence, restitution, home, money, healing situation and -helper?. Keep well.
@@Medietos Have you ever had a stool sample analyzed with regard to the bacterial composition? From your symptoms/condition, I'd say your intestinal flora could be out of balance / "corrupted". This can happen with strong antibiotics, as they can kill off part of your intestinal flora, and it doesn't always recover by itself. Thing is, some bacteria keep others in check, in that they prevent them from multiplying too much and 'taking over', but if they're (almost) gone, then you'll have some overgrowth. If your stool sample shows a high percentage of fungus (which it never should), then that's a big part of what's wrong. If you have a temporary improvement from eating something with crushed garlic (which is very anti-fungal), then that's because the fungus dies off temporarily, but grows back once you eat something with carbohydrates, as it consumes primarily sugars, and keeps doing so, causing your blood sugar to crash. This is what causes abnormal sugar cravings. Now, it's not healthy to keep eating lots of garlic for weeks on end, and it will remove some calcium, so taking a calcium supplement is necessary if trying this. Colloid silver is another powerful anti-fungal remedy, but should be used sparingly, especially at first. Edit: forgot to mention, the acids and byproducts produced by fungi will lower your body pH-level and be detrimental to your teeth, which was another clue to me.
@@silvergreylion : Thank you warmly from my pit, I am touched by your caring. I did have stool and other samples done in 2004, yes. Who are you, a professional or amateur, interested, healing yourself maybe? Would you possibly be in the position of caring to help me, coaching? The situation is more complex than you outlined, although it is interesting. What schools do you know and believe in? I can't go on being thrown here and there by many others' theories and views, that in itself has made me worse from stress, splitting. What I need is someone to actually consult, who doesn't hijack me and not need to know best, know it all and control me, decide for me, , but who is big enough to stand back , be of service and help me find my healing. I have been close for decades, but stress to death by lack of wisdom in many in helping positions . We human beings tend to project unto oyhers what we are absorbed in ourselves and finding out about, "seeing2 it everywhere. That can get incorrect, like the email chiropractor who from my stressed-emotional email decided that I had Mould sickness. I applied to him for helping me through a Nutritional Balancing Science program. Not denying that it may be possible, but he seemed on the fanatic, rigid side about it, which tired and frustrated me and made the contact stop sadly. I want(ed) help with that healing program, his hypothesis could have been a later option. I can't be any more pressured by someone else's wish to control in very limited knowledge of me.. If you want to help me, I can tell and reply to everything you need to know. But have to know that you know enough first, I have been much maltreated and up to today been severely harmed.So please think of my safety and protection. I hope you answer. State what extent of engagement you are able and wílling to, so that I keep my material within proper bounds. It would be a good change to receive support or help... Btw, I know one doesn't ave to know it all to be of help, the human etheric and heart interaction does it work in the invisible and psychological-spiritual. Still, some has to be in place. Symptoms are one thing but the CAUSE may differ and demand different measures, right? Are you well or working at your healing? Emotionally?
as a mental health provider, the biggest challenge with my patients is convincing them that lifestyle modifications can significantly improve their physical & mental health and not necessarily being dependent on medications for every symptom.
When we don’t even know WHAT we don’t know, it comes down to having an idea of what good health is supposed to look like, and having faith that there is something to look for that will heal us. Been there many times.
I love the honesty here! Dr. Mark...To admit that you really didn't have full confidence in the beginning of your FM journey as a FM doctor and to be a little surprised, even for years when the therapies of changing people's diets actually WORKED, is an an amazingly honest statement!
I really enjoyed this dialogue between these two physicians! Sometimes God challenge our intellect and knowledge not Punish us but to be a blessing to others. I was recently diagnosed with Lupus and my Doctor shared the diagnosis with me and referred me to arthritis specialist. Made appointment and after three weeks of waiting, day before my appointment I have received a call to confirm my appointment. At that moment I have already lost my insurance and the woman who called to confirm my appointment has asked how am going to pay to see the Dr, I have asked how much it would be if I pay cash, I asked if they can arrange payment plan and I have mentioned to pay portion of it when I see the Dr. The nurse treatment me really bad when knowing I have no insurance. I was in a lot of pain and was so looking forward to the appointment. I started reading, listening podcast like this and started applying what I learned. Being a vegetarian made it easy but when I started avoiding carb’s. Sugar, and drinking green smoothie. I felt a lot better!! I figured out what triggers my symptoms in my own! I feel much better, sleep well, and I know I am on the road healing ! We are our own Doctors!
Your experience shows that mainstream doctors are not in it to help people, but for the money. Sounds like it turned out to be the best thing for you! You found a better way...a much more healthy way to help yourself. Praying for you 🙏
Yes, yes, it's your life, your body. I agree, you have to be your own Doctor. I had rheumatoid arthritis, stiff joints, inflammation, and severe pain for about two years, I took prednisone once a day, but now, I don't take anything. I cured rheumatoid arthritis but was supposedly no cure for it.

This is perhaps the best broadcast on chronic fatigue I have seen. The onset of my own disease is echoed in a lot of the scenarios (except pregnancy!). Certainly, the travel and getting sick in a foreign culture and country on a different diet. The removal of gluten made a radical difference too and taking strain of the thyroid , digestion and adrenals, as well as gradually addressing hormonal imbalance is totally correct.
This has been my life for the last 18 years. I’ve just finish Mark Hymans book and I’m starting my health journey in two days. Just waiting for my food shopping to arrive. I’m so excited to get better for me and my loving family. Xxx such great people
I stopped eating gluten years ago, initially just to lose weight, and was planning to go back to eating it. It was like drinking from the Fountain of Youth. Many symptoms that I thought were due to aging went way. I'm in my 60's and my memory and cognitive functioning is better than it has better been in my life. I could feel the inflammation lift from my body and mind. I also have no joint pain. Too many more things got better to list, but I am not done. I think leaky gut, while much better now, is still an issue, and my blood pressure is elevated. Still working, but I'm encouraged because I feel so much better.
Great explanation about yourself. Good example for people like me. Back to nature n knowing our own mind n a determination to live on with vibrant health is extremely impt. Sleepless nights caused more headache, confusion n suffering mentally n physically. As one switches off any channel on d tv he does not want, we need to switch off any thought dt causes disturbances in sleep, taking deep n slow breathing helps for immediate sleep... God bless u all
This is VERY enlightening. As a 70 year old retired physician this talk makes me want to totally relearn medicine FUNCTIONALLY!. Unfortunately cost is prohibitive.
@centerpromise5900 How I would love to have conversation with You. Anything science, thought process, the proof in the pudding, etc. So many theories I've postulated have been proven correct and OBSERVATION is such an incredible teacher! Not coversations anyone I've ever met really cares to have. I did pre-med at Rutgers. 3.96. No funds for medical school. Have a wonder-filled 2024 New Year!!!
I am a shaman and when you described the figure not wanted to leave, I can feel the goosebump. lol Thanks for sharing. During my awakening of becoming a shaman, I went through the same experiences. From doctors to doctors, specialists, acupuncture, herbalists, therapy, GI, EKG, Urgent care to ER, and nothing worked. I was only dx with anxiety and GI issue. I started doing my own research and starting listening to my intuition and practice yoga and meditation. I listen to my body, pay attention to what I eat and how I cook it. Only you can cure yourself when no one can't. I believe that your wellness has to be balance with being physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Years ago on a cable TV show regarding what it was like for ER medical personnel, one of the doctors suddenly came down with appendicitis. He said he was shocked at how it felt to be a patient. Almost naked, loss of control over what was going on etc. It was a real eye-opener for him and he gained a real understanding of what it was like to be on the other side.
Your candid conversation about putting the care back into healthcare post medical school was deep! Thank you both for your perseverance and personal sharing.
Giving up wheat has made an enormous improvement in my health. I'm a kinesiologist (retired) but it took me ages to work out that I'm very wheat intolerant. I would recommend people to go to a good kinesiologist to be tested for causes of illness.
I’d be thrilled to find an internist that thinks and practices like this ... This is an excellent conversation that should be incorporated into medical training along with good bedside manners.
Dietary changes, finding food sensitivities, time.... healing of the gut, more changes and time have HUGE in feeling better. Inflammation causing the symptoms Amazing we are all different ... but a healthy gut is the start of a healthy body. Eating healthy whole foods... nothing prepacked. I always say if I can't read or understand the ingredients listed on the box my body can't either.
I get this 100%. I had "chronic fatigue." Went to UofWashington, Virginia Mason, Centur Wellness Clinic. It wasn't until I went to Dr. Jacob Titelbaum in Maryland (I'm from Montana) and he educated me in so many supplements and told me when I return home find a good naturopath (I found the best) because no regular doctor will have a clue what you're going through. He finally allowed me to have Armour thyroid which cleared me out of a fog. He made sure I was up on D3/K2. He got my iron up to speed. It's been a lifelong journey. But I know when to go to an allopath (and very rarely go) vs. a naturopath. This was very interesting.
This video is one of the best things I've come across on the internet in the last months. You're both the kind of physician I would have loved to become. Thank you so much for sharing your paths and open generous vision of medicine.
So encouraging listening to two open minded Doctors talking about this stuff. My Mother in Law has been practicing Naturopathy for almost 60years and she began that journey by treating herself as a Celiac patient when all Dr's wanted to do was operate on her intestinal tract and start removing bits. She also tested many patients suffering the effects of high levels of mercury poisoning and was an advocate for the removal of mercury teeth fillings back in the 1970's & 80's which was ridiculed at the time by most professionals. I suffered debilitating 3 day migraines every 2weeks for decades as I couldn't afford the expensive migraine meds prescribed but it was only when I changed my diet (mostly going sugar free) that I am now Migraine free and have been for over 10 years.
If you are a Christian FOLLOWING Jesus Christ's foot steps when he was CARRING the TORTURE Stake. His SUFFERING his followers willing accepted to Carry endure for man's LIFE until death agreement. In ordrer Being obedient to being approved to being SAVED by Jesus. So SUFFERING IS NATURAL christian Life. You say you are hurting miserable grieving losses. Dr. Says " YOU R Healthy". 👌👌 Do NOT Complain. Depression is NORMAL. ) We all want to feel GOOD & SAFE every day of our lives. Right???
You are your own and possibly others doctor. By Belief of your DNA ability, if you can absolutely Believe the God given ability. Like they call it Plascibo, but it is you who makes the cure happen by thought and talking to your brain and DNA.as the man Jesus said,. “Ask and you will receive “. The only proviso is you, Must Believe. Or it will not come true. The miracle is it happens,via you. Because God , being everywhere, he is in you and all have have DNA .

okay to save time, she tried to get more sleep, changed her diet by studying her ancestral diet, which led her to cut out most gluten, and that made a major impact. she did detoxes which removed toxins from air pollution, . she slowly weaned off thyroid meds over 14 years, and she studied her estrogen and progesterone levels , then slowly weaned off those hormone replacement drugs as the sleep and diet improvements made a positive impact. also she had a witchdoctor or some clairvoyant come into her house to burn smudge sticks of Southwestern US Native Indian sage and herbs around her home to rid the house of negative energy from the previous home owner. she didnt see that one coming,. she didnt in believe any of it but it opened her mind to think positively and to work on a positive healthy mindset. went to some functional medicine conferences and gradually over a decade , everything worked out and healed her.
Thank you!
Absolutely! Nothing like a witch doctor casting spells to ensure a complete remission!
Thank you for this ..I was wondering because I don't have a 1 hour
Thank you...lol I was wondering 🤔
@iztheterrible, Thank you for taking the time to compile this summary.
- Intermited fast, having daily periods of hunger. Eat less often.
- Walk 30 minutes a day, increase as possible.
- 2 days a week do 20 minutes of HIIT with strength training. Increase to 60 minutes when possible.
- Do elimination diet and find out what works for you.
- Take digestive enzymes.
- Meditate at least 10 minutes a day
- Take cold showers
- Weekly shock the system by alternating heat and cold. Example: 10 minutes of sauna, 10 minute of cold by jumping in a swimming pool, alternating between the sauna and pool for 1 hour.
- Find your purpose
- Love and accept others for who they are and the path they are on and the fact that it is different than your path.
- Journal
- Love yourself
- Forgive yourself and forgive all others
- Follow your intuition
These were not mentioned here but I felt the need to put this.
You don’t work our nearly enough. You need to work our every day. HIIT and strength training are both important. HIIT will improve your cognitive abilities and strength training will give you bone density and muscle that increase longevity.
@@johnvictorengland7703 anymore than 3 times a week and you don't give yourself enough time to recover and build muscle properly and it depends what your goal is. For purposes of purely maintaining health this is more than enough.
Thank you cause that video was the most boring thing I ever tried to listen to.
@@shellys.6694 lol yes it was kind of all over the place 😄
@@NintCondition You're correct. 3 times a week is more than enough. Everyday working out actually wears down the body unless you are in your early twenties. Muscles and other systems need time to recover between workouts on the cellular level.
When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use.
When diet is correct, medicine is of no need.

Exactly!
Exactly!!!! I love how you put it!!!
SO VERY TRUE
Bottom line: YOU DON'T NEED MEDICINE :)
Medicine is like a band aid to help you relieve the pain temporary without fixing the root cause. If you take your time and do your research, you will find the cure from the nature. I said this because I have done it and it helps me tremendously when my PCP only gave me pain killer with side effect :((
Wrong.
I’m an acupuncturist with a background as a histotechnologist. I am so grateful for this combination that has helped me see health issues in the the eyes of western medicine and how it correlates to disease patterns in traditional Chinese medicine. I love the power of herbal medicine. We treat the whole person, not a named disease. Diseases must be treated on all levels: physical body (electrical, structural), chemical (nutritional, microbiome) and spiritual/emotional. If one area is affected eventually all areas are affected.
Awesome
FDA is the biggest enemy of traditional medicine . Anything that works that has no answer in Western medicine is not in research

@Justyn Gervasi Always sort comments by "top comments" and go down from top.
I have a chronic illness and my ex rheumatologist laughed at me. Changed to a different one in the same office. Total difference! Be your own advocate!
Diet will be crucial in your healing
If your open to it. Check out ayurveda or TCM. They tend to be good with chronic issues.
@@dinomiles7999 Yes, I’m vegan. I do eat very healthy. Thanks.
Yes indeed!
My rheumatologist was no help so I got a second opinion. The 2nd did some tests and concluded "I wasn't 25 anymore." Finally, I found a doctor who wanted to solve the mystery and discovered I have intrinsic factor antibodies and needed B12 shots. I feel like myself again! And it only took lots of struggling with doctors and thousands of dollars worth of tests!
This should be required listening for every doctor. It’s so frustrating when doctors lable people with mental illness or being a “difficult patient.” The exact same thing happened (is happening) to me. Everyone including my own wife thinks it’s all in my head.
The arrogance/ignorance of so many doctors is just tragic.
So true!!! I'm in Texas as well and almost cried to see she is no longer here:(.
We are difficult patients, or lots of us are. The problem is that the doctors are the reason we become difficult patients. When doctors contradict each other and say things that are completely incoherant or irrelevant we can do nothing other than say "hang on doctor that doesn't make sense". They are incapable of accepting the validity of our remarks and they don't like us questioning their opinion. For many of us our lives are falling appart around us and doctors refusing facts because they don't understand them is very frustrating. Our frustration is legitimate and doctors should take this into consideration and not presume that the frustration is just because we are weak minded hense all are problems are psychological.
When you've seen enough docrors who are all too happy to accept that it's all in your head your friends and familly find it very difficult to not believe them. After all they are doctors and they are supposed to know what is going on.
It most certainly is tragic, and i hope you find the answers that you are in so much need of.
@@robinhood4640 this is so true. Many doctors feel they should not be questioned because they are the "expert"....
I truly feel like this is an epidemic and so many people struggle with a similar story. Mine was 10 years ago and it took so much for me to heal. But even the functional medicine doctors were not helpful. It took so much strength to heal.
@@camendt75 It is an epidemic. The quality of the air on the planet has reached the point where many peoples lymphatic systems can't cope well enough. It's a more crap coming in than going out situation, it all builds up at different speeds for each inividuel. Women are more affected than men because the gas exchange in the lungs is different,they have smaller lungs.
Eating a more healthy diet reduces the crap intake and helps the body cope better with what we are breathig. It's not rocket science.
Eat a vegan diet or a carnivor diet,filter the air and the water and they will both help. It cannot be because of the specific diet they are totally contradictory.
"Nothing opens your mind like desperation" ❤ I feel you sister!
it also creates an energetic "intensity"..its how prayers get "answered" asap, because we are all energy and vibration...we are emitting a frequency like radio station...how strong or weak it is is dependent on us and our desire/intent😀
It also makes you consider bad ideas.
I wanted to briefly share how I got my Hashimoto's thyroiditis in remission. 3 years ago I got a infection in pancreas which cause me to be nauseous so I didn't eat for 9 days (basically fasting, however definitely not planned) but tried to keep up my fluid intake. It just happened that when I recovered I needed to have my labs drawn and my doctor was so surprised because my labs reflected 90% remission of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Asked all kinds of questions and once found out I hadn't eaten for 9 days, only had fluids asked if would wait 6 months and do another long fast (5-9 days) and see if we would get it in complete remission. That is exactly what happened after the second fast and now 3 years later, I am still in remission from Hashimoto's thyroiditis. :)
wow, very impressive :) Did you have only antibodies for Hashimoto or also low t3/t4, and had to take hormones? and now dont?
Did you have to take in special foods after the fasting?
that's amazing! congratulations!
Sometimes the T3 T4 was out of balance and sometimes spot on. Antibodies were for Hashimoto was always high until I did the 9 day fast and by the 2nd time (6 month later) no more. I had my immune system chinking away at my thyroid for 35 years, so it will take some time to have it recover/regenerate and we are working on that. After the fast, to break the fast (especially since this was a longer fast) I would break it with bone broth and after an hour or so, depending on how I felt, I would have half of an avocado and wait and see how my gut was doing and slowly introduce different food again. Also before the bone broth I would take ion biome on empty stomach to restore gut balance. Dr. Mindy Pelz is a wealth of information on fasting, especially for women (find her on youtube)
@@beardseiibeard2812 thank you so much for the information! I wish i would of found this out a long time ago! My medical Doctors never ever mentioned any of this! But I am going to pursue as much as i can; unfortunately medical insurance wont cover most of the Functional services
I'm 63 and avoid doctors, nearly all of whom have failed to help me, and in one case badly scared me with a false diagnosis. What I have learned from self-experimentation is that "less is more," meaning less food, less often. I'm not interested in weight loss, merely feeling optimal, and fasting gives the body time to heal, followed by a healthy diet of real foods. Aside from posting this, I don't discuss my health regimen, as it provokes a lot of unwanted advice and even worry. Do your own research, so much easier these days, thanks to videos such as this one and many more. Best wishes to all for a healthy 2020 and beyond.
Which means u fast
☀️🌺☀️🌺☀️
More is less, so true. More organic and whole food, less calories.
@serendipidus1 I agree. There's a famous quote by Sir William Osler, thought to be the "father of medicine" (I talk about his writing in my last video). He said, "Listen to the patient. S/he is telling you the diagnosis."
Bless you, Luann.
A terrific example of doctors that are allowing themselves to learn so they can truly become healers.
I don't know why so many docs stop learning in med school. I used to think I was practicing "alternative" medicine. Now I think it is an augmented style to all the conventional medicine.
Amazing! Gracias...

I began my painful journey when I was pregnant with my 2nd child. Went to doctor after doctor (M.D.'s) Of course my tests were coming up "normal" so they told me I that it was "in your head". Finally I went to a D.O. & was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Took yrs of self help & changing my diet. That was 30 yrs ago. I'm feeling great now & have not had a flare up in 15 yrs.

Out of the hundreds of autoimmune doctors I've heard or read about, she resonates the most. I noticed how most doctors are always missing one factor: our own intuition. Not one body is the same and it's very important to connect to our own body to feel what it needs. Yes, docs help to guide us but not many teach us how to connect to and listen to our own bodies, these beautiful vessels that are much more intelligent than we allow them to be! Go Dr. Li!
Yes, we should learn the language of our body
1:02:02
Physician-Scientist who chose an alternative career path. I tell this to my new medical students every year. “Every Doctor should be a patient at some point in need of medical care; it changes your practice completely”
Thank you esteemed colleagues for a vital conversation!
I went through every single stage of illness that Dr. Li went through. I'm year 6 into my healing journey but KNOW that my autoimmune journey started YEARS before I hit rock bottom. I decided to take control of my health and saw major improvements and can now say that I absolutely put my autoimmune disease into remission. It propelled me to spread the message as far and wide as I could. I switched careers and made my life mission to help people get over their thyroid/hashimoto's disease!
Where do you practice? I recently took myself off my meds and feel better already. But weight gain and some other issues are a problem. I have growths in my thyroid that so will get rechecked every year or six months. But the meds were giving me heart issues.
@@victoriaaustin2468 I healed myself of a severe asthmatic histamine intolerance/auto-immune disorder in *_5 months_* and lost 26 lbs in the process by adopting a fasting lifestyle with very clean food when I did eat. I intermittent fasted 23:1 80% of the time, 16:8 20% of the time and in those 5 months did four 3-day fasts (one was 98 hours, actually) that aren't included in those percentages. When I did eat I ate organic, non-GMO, you know the drill...no added sugar, etc. _5 months_ is UNHEARD OF. Get Dr. Mindy Pelz's book, "Fast Like a Girl" and beat this without weight gain. I can't imagine taking YEARS to do this. I had as severe an intolerance as one gets - I was nearly anaphylactic every damn day so I was seriously in trouble. If you want to get a hold of this fast...well, *fast!*
I'm reversing hypothyroidism and celiac disease with information I've read from a book called medical medium. It's life changing! You should definately read it and help me spread the word🙂
@@codybain6788what herbs/food helped you?
Carnivore diet will help all that
Similar experience but I'm a nurse, I had celiac, Sjogrens, fatty liver, HTN, depression and anxiety from a bad diet. I quit the meds and fasted at 1st then started a diet full of healthy fats and nutrients. I feel so much better. I'm sitting next to a stack of old text books. Learning meditation was a turning point for me. There's too much wrong in our current medical system to mention. Here's to seeking and finding real health!
Can you share what you eat and continue. How are you..l have fatty liver
Are you symptom free from sjorgens?
This video should be mandatory for ALL DOCTORS as part of their CE. They should also mandate 1000 hours of nutrition training for ALL doctors as well. I have less and less faith in the myopic view from doctors who practice allopathic medicine anymore. This video was wonderful. Thank you and God Bless
No class will instill care or character. It’s not education, it’s not caring.
Every physician should be required to listen to this before entering their official practice in the medical world.
My husband is a doc but he wont listen to them hes like theyre not "real doctors" :/ i dont agree with him tho i think its nice info

@@FB-bo3sj they are brain washed with superiority complex...they are so highly programmed to a point they blind to see common sense most if the time. I salute them for putting together body parts, etc. But when it comes to natural healing they are not for it because...no sickly patients, no business. If a person to that has graduate degrees are called doctors...lol... chiropractors, naprapathic doctors also went beyond their master's degree to get there. The bottom line is: Patients. Results. Are they healthy and healed??? It doesn't matter the degrees and practice. So many misdiagnosis are made out here by "Medici" doctors. Money making is the root. Students who are brain washed to disgrace other healers (that are effective) are probably victims of the System of Money Worship, shrink the brains of humans fantastic self healing design. Yes, design.
They have medical liscence. They passed the medical board exam set by US Govt. So they are REAL DOCTORS indeed. But doctors are different in the way they trained and belief. These two doctors are just open minded to all avenues of healing and this include not only they learned in medical school but holistic medicine using broad understanding of human body function.
"You can only heal what you are connected to... what is going on in your body, you can't heal something you are detached from"....BINGO!! That is the key statement in this whole conversation for me in healing my body and my autoimmune disease. Also, loved learning more about the Ancestral diet, researching that for sure! 💎💜🙏🏼
Awesome statement! Too tired to watch video, but this really helped! Also going no carbs no sugar, etc. 😊
I was diagnosed with lupus at 25 yrs. I always rebelled against the high dose, toxic drugs the doctors wanted to put me on. I only took the bare minimum and ate well, got lots of rest and have remained as stress free as possible and I'm still alive 30 yrs later and I'm not a big toxic, bloated mess. Conventional medicine is almost worthless for autoimmune illness in my opinion.

@@nomade438 My big turning points were, Elimination diet, staying gluten and dairy free afterwards. Magnesium and B1 and B12 supplementation.

Do t understand why an American would jeopardize their health by going to China, our enemy. Am I Crazy?
Did you prescribe yourself all sorts of toxic drugs that dont' work? That should be a requirement for a doctor. Then don't listen to yourself complain.
@@Notme-tq4xs No I faithfully listened and followed my doctors advise, no self medicating. The only self medicating thing I did was rage quit taking the meds.
I love hearing TWO DOCTORS discussing how the basic medical system does not know it all. Acknowledging the body systems tied together with diet. HUGE! Thank you!
I once dared to tell my specialist that certain food trigger an auto immune response on me by experience. He immediately didn't want to listen to that. But I knew that he wasn't going to listen in the first place, I would never bother again because only if he had the disease himself he would know first hand. Yes, Food with Gluten specially cookies makes me feel terrible right the next day, I don't need a doctor to tell me otherwise.
I find that pretty terrifying but I know what you mean
I would change your comment into the medical system knows almost very little.
True. Conventional medicine has failed in some fields. Examples are the orthopedic and autoimmune diseases. Very expensive yet useless
@@livenow1788 That is an understatement. I would look at it upside down, there are few fields where conventional medicine is effective and those are not diseases but trauma and wounds or broken bones and the invention of antibiotics, antifungal and antivirus. 95% of conventional medecine is treating symptoms, knocking down the patient with drugs (opiates) or cutting a part of the body. That sums it up.
There is a Very REAL connection between our physical/biological self and our emotional/spiritual self.
When you are able to understand and to heal the inner-emotional self; your physical self can be fine tuned and repaired. This I believe whole-heartedly from my own experience in healing. The hardest part is getting to the root of the 'trauma' when a person may not know or recognize it may exist in one's self. Sometimes this is hard to accomplish if you are being artificially medicated. The body is equipped with the ability to heal. Finding the right way is key.
I can totally relate to all of these. I stopped seeing my doctor & started living my life again . Fr the basics. Sleep, movements, rhythm, eating properly ( I thought I was before but I wasn’t doing enough) , and stress ..getting rid of toxic people around me . I was traveling for a many years & the the environmental effects , everything adds up. This was 10 years ago. Until today I’m still learning, food, sleep, our body & mind & getting rid of the rashes & joint aches all over my body. I am healing myself not by traditional medicine but what my grandparents did ...all back to basic & jump start my body . Traditional medicine is not for chronic diseases. Doctors can’t tell what sort of autoimmune diseases I got . Gluten..got rid of that devil 5 years now. Reading all food labels. Preparing all my meals & walking 30mins a day !
Thank you for sharing
Gluten. Devil. You said it! Ha ha ha! It really is. Thanks for sharing!
Would you like say your in remission?
Blessings
Do you have celiac?
It’s pretty frightening that medical schools don’t teach preventative medicine and nutrition. I have lost faith in traditional medicine.
Me too!
Conventional medicine is linked to money - Big Pharma. It's only legal in the US to "push" (advertise) drugs.
Big Pharma fund many med schools. They don't even learn basic nutrition at universiry😳
No money in learning that
That is because back in 1924, David rockerfeller, began a purge on all America's natural healing and holistic medicine schools. this birthed the big pharma control of the world. Thankfully, this too, among other things like the private federal reserve bank, the political system, the entire commerce system, the crooked msm, the big tech social media platforms, and many other crooked, big things are all being systematically, painstainstakingly dismantled. I don't know how long this will take, hopefully, not much longer.
My doctor let me use the natural route for a crippling autoimmune disease. She was wonderful. She said she took an oath so if she saw things getting really bad she would have to give me meds as per her oath but it’s my choice to take them or not. As she saw me getting better and better she started learning natural medicine. She was wonderful, supportive and life changing in my healing. I’ve got a great doctor ❤️. The doctor prior to her, when I was noticing little symptoms here and there but didn’t know it was autoimmune, she told me “you’re young, you’re thin, you’re fine. It’s all in your mind”. Meanwhile my body was attacking itself hour by hour.
Yesss!!!!!! Absolutely yes!!! You are correct and your doctor is a doctor and not a parrot repeating what they have been teach since the beginning of their carrier. Mine are like that or I teach them Lol! Some of them are listening carefully now about other ways to do. One of them saved his legs by just receiving a lymphatic drainage! After 17 days hospitalized and receiving the strongest antibiotics ever, he did not improved. I recommend the drainage because it was clear that his system was clogged and was just transporting garbage up and down all day long without having the capacity to clear itself and the body from harming crap. And of course, could not transport the antibiotic to the needed places. He did and a little later he was running like a kid and he is big man! How could he forgot what lymphatic system is about? Well they know what it is but do not know how to holistically work with it. Same with the rest of the body- mind - spirit.
What did you do to be off of medicines?
Could you please tell me who was your Dr, I need for someone that sufferin from autoimmune and lupus, I appreciate it.
@Luisa Gabriela Mendivelso Silva please give me email
I am suffering from lupus since 3 months please 🙏

This is my story. After more than 15 years of trying to figure out what was wrong with my body, I ended up with a Psychiatrist telling me that I had Clinical Depression. I explained to him that if I had Clinical Depression why do I still have goals? People with depression lose hope. That was not me. I just wanted my body to help me achieve, and my body was tired and in pain, so that was frustrating me. I explained that my body is making me get frustrated, and that leads to depression. He wouldn't listen to me. A couple of times he even dozed off in front of me...like sorry for boring you sir. He waived me off and just handed me the slip for the next appointment.
I have found my own remedies, and today, I own my own wellness clinic specializing in massage. I see many people who are this same position, and I am happy to fast track them to wellness. Now, I refer patients to functional medical doctors who they can go to to get real answers.
This is exactly what is happening with me. I've been sick 13 years which has caused depression. I also have dreams and goals but this pain and suffering is stopping me from Doing anything which is making me depressed. 😢 No ones listening.
Kindly share your solution it might help me and other people with similar situation
I followed Dr. Brooke Goldner and Dr. Berg's advise. They have lots of videos on youtube and they are SOOO helpful. What helped me was changing my diet and introducing more vegetables (juicing them every morning really helps - spinach, kale, celery, chard, zuccini) . Stay away from high inflammatory foods like highly processed foods, gluten, dairy, sugar. Goodluck!!!
Could you recommend me to a functional doctor in Northern Illinois?
"if I had Clinical Depression why do I still have goals?" - they are not mutually exclusive...
There is a famous saying in Ayurveda (traditional Indian medicine), quite simply put, 'food is medicine'....it cant solve everything, but truly changing your food habits changes the game...
Yes thank God 🙏🏼
Very well said madam
― Hippocrates
I wonder why some people can eat why they want without getting ill?
@@NamiWonderful because Ayurveda says: you are what you digest. Of course, you are what you eat but more importantly: you are what you digest
This story with Cynthia Li is MY story too! Becoming violently ill in Mexico while on honeymoon - and I was "never the same since." Later finding out I had chronic Lyme, Endometriosis, Hashimotos Thyroiditis, Celiac Disease, PCOS....and so on after seeing a string of specialists. It was finally a homeopathic doctor that was able to educate me of the cascade effect of the food I was eating and stressful lifestyle I was living (Lean Cuisine was a "healty meal" and running 8-10 miles per day on the treadmill followed by an hour of heavy weight lifting FOR YEARS). I thought I was "so on top of things" and boy was I wrong. After years of coming to terms with my food sensitivities and hormone imbalances, I'm finally starting to recover. After gaining 85 pounds due to exercise intolerance and overall fatigue (and depression) I'm about 75% back to a healthy body. Food is medicine, and so is rest, self care, setting boundaries, finding peace and silence within. Thank you for spreading this message and for helping bring awareness to this very real, very debilitating issue that affects so many.

Just eat beef
I'd bet money you developed Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Fyi many are finding remission with low carb diets and addressing healing their gut biome.
@@teresalipot3585 This is what I was just diagnosed with, MCAS. After I got Covid, this MCAS appeared & I have horrible chronic fatigue. On a diet of beef, chicken, fish & low histamine vegetable.
@@thomassaddul JUST BEEF? why?
This is really great to see that doctors are speaking up. I wanted to mention that I learned that alot of cheese is processed with gluten and is not marked as containing gluten. I was in France trying to order a gluten free cheese dish and the chef came out to me and says that alot of these cheeses we produce are made with gluten - it's really made a difference for me to stick to the cheeses that are marked gluten-free.
Wow 😳 I had no idea!
When dairy is pastuerized, it completely changes the structure of it from beneficial to harmful. Raw dairy is healing to the body. Dr. Axe compared pastuerized milk to vegetable soy oil loaded with sugar, whereas; raw milk is fine.
Gluten will kill the body yet everything is made with it. Try finding a loaf of bread without it. Impossible. And, if you do find gluten free it’s unbearable in taste.
@60jane, Thank You!!!! I will make sure to only get gluten free cheeses.
@@mrhollandsopus3960 Or full of other bad things that you shouldn't eat.
I have an autoimmune condition, symptoms of lupus. Lichen Planus, heart, liver, kidnney and spleen pain. I gave up trying to be heard by the doctors, so I started researching. And that made them angry, my doctor's office sent me a letter telling me I couldn't see my doctor any more because I had asked them to stop sending me to specialists. The ones I had seen had given me drugs without telling me they planned to, and were treating me with disrespect. There was a kidney doctor who yelled at me for not wanting radioactive iodine. I had been having thyroid symptoms and my mother has hashimotos. I said I didn't want contrast. And this woman treated me like I was being a difficult 4 year old. She was the last straw. I asked to just give me blood tests and stop sending me to specialists anc they tlld me I couldn't come there for testing or to see my primary anymore.
@@tiffanyguzman4405 was he still on meds?
So sorry you had to go through that. The arrogance of the medical establishment is horrible. And many times when you talk to them and ask questions, they have no answers.
That is so sad I just think its not how,they should treat people they are paid to help why not discuss why ,, they want you to have certain meds what for and what they help !,, and what side effects could be
@@tiffanyguzman4405 please what id the diet please ?
@@tiffanyguzman4405 thanks for you answer👍
I feel like Dr. Li is giving us back the power, and saying she values our bodies, our worth. We are more than $$$.
Totally agree: The arrogance/ignorance of so many doctors is just tragic.
If you have an arrogant Dr....find another one. Their industry keeps many bound to protocol and “traditional” thinking. Have to shop around sometimes.
Looking for good doctors, change them and one worst then first one, BayCare push them to have as much patience they can during the day. We live in strange world. Good doctor gone.
From my experience: if you have a chronic condition, read as much as possible about it in legitimate scientifically validated sites. Observe your symptoms and keep a notebooks and record everything you do, eat and frequency of your symptoms. NO doctor however skilled can replace your observations. However for urgent need go to UC or ER. Above all follow a healthy lifestyle including proper diet, exercise, meditation and take things easy. After all we are all rushing towards death- so what’s the hurry? Why waste your hard earned money on a ignorant doctors and a shockingly crappy health care system?
@@bhatakthirooh If you do enough research you can often know as much or more than a doctor. In some cases it's not their fault; all doctors have little time. Helps if you can bring some printouts of pertinent articles. Problem is to get them to read them.
Yes, thank you ♥ for your comment - I made a similar experience with one exception then one great doctor who is already retired said to me that he could imaginge that I was treated poorly .... it was a relief someone who believed me and he did not want any money he said to me: I am 75 years old and happy for my fulfilled life I would like to give something back and I want to help you....
It took 4 years for Dr’s to diagnose me. Many specialists, many different diagnosis. I was super depressed. I, finally, went to an Internist who decided to do a Pneumo Vac test. She took my blood, then injected me with 12 strains of Pneumonia. I returned 4 weeks later. She compared my blood to the original blood sample. I was diagnosed with CVID. I felt relieved. I started the the IVIG treatment. I did it for 5 years. I still have problems with GI and arthritis but, at least , I know what I have. It is VERY frustrating to repeat your symptoms over and over. I pray for all of you that don’t know what you have. Don’t let Dr dictate to you. There are many times that they are wrong. Insist on tests that you think might shed light. Trust your gut. You know your body. ❤❤
Daily meditation and prayer helps ☯️
What is CVID
I liked the podcast so much that I watched it twice. I felt like you were talking about me even though I am still 27 years old and I have to deal with this disease... I have changed my lifestyle and I feel good without any medications since the beginning of the disease.. I want to add that the part about Intuition was the best part because in Islam, thanks to Allah, we learned to have a strong faith that Allah will heal us, and we have to rely on Him and believe in Him. Start by taking all means of healing and not relying only on modern medicine, and this is what I did with God’s help.

They always say “it’s stress”.
Some times they act like they don’t even wanna see you.
No this one “ it must be stressing time” 🤣
Also my that the truth😢
Stress can trigger cancer and many serious conditions. My adrenals/thyroid are a mess. This may or may not have been caused by stress, but the physical results are very real. To dismiss "stress" is such a cop out.
In all fairness stress is definitely a major trigger in a lot of conditions, especially autoimmune diseases. Talking from experience.
My symptoms were caused by lyme and bartonella. Late stage.
One very important point the doctor made here was the spiritual/emotional awareness and healing. In my personal experience, emotional baggage tends to get stored in the body and eventually manifests as physical symptoms. Being in touch with your emotions, healing trauma through writing, praying, meditation, forgiveness of self and others is paramount. Finally, l agree with the anti inflammatory/detox/clean diet are important in healing and prevention. But l would also add fasting as an important ingredient in staying healthy. I highly recommend it to all my patients as a means to lose wait and heal/prevent chronic disease and cancer.
Lose wait???
So true.... we are body, soul,and spirit. Physical, emotional, and spiritual. What affects one, affects the others!
And unforgiveness (of self and others) causes all kinds of diseases, especially cancer.
When you say fasting, what did u fast from?
@@elenadecosta l mean abstaining from all foods for a min of 18 hrs to a whole day done once a week. Always with your doctors approval because fasting is not for everyone.
Fasting is the healthiest thing you can do...its for everyone!
I really like the word "step-wise" to describe the healing journey. It can seem so overwhelming to cut out gluten, dairy, sugar, and meditate if progress is not made in a step-wise manner. Start with something such as cutting out gluten, and take your time with it. When you are ready, go to the next step. With every step, you realize that you are that much stronger and you can keep going.
🌿🌸🕊 what you're saying is true unless you have a life threading disease (have already had heart surgery, severe diabetes, cancer, severe arthritis etc.) then you don't have the luxury of changing your diet/lifestyle slowly.
That's what I did. Just little steps that grew into bigger and even better steps. The challenge is getting the family to understand why you don't want to cook their shit food anymore because they have not yet experienced the down fall.

Are you going through HSV DISEASE? Dr. Kham is the solution to your problem and I am a living testimony to his great work.

Visit his UA-cam Channel: Doc Kham
I really think food deals with everything
I wish the interviewer would stop interrupting! We know you're brilliant...
Totally agree. He was interrupting the lady all the times. He sucks!
He says up front, that this is a conversation. Conversations require 2 people.
Community building !!!!! My God we have to become sick sometimes to learn to do thé right things. " Out of weakness were made strong..."??
True. Irritating.
I like Dr. Hyman's comments. His explanations simplify what's being discussed. Comments are much too hard on him.
I commented in more detail on the thread below regarding the summary of the interview, but overall I'd say, this interview was worth it and think every PCP and medical student should watch it. She clearly expressed what every single person who's suffered from any type of chronic pain and gone through the usual channels in our "healthcare" system feels when no answers are found and every specialist sees you with a narrowed lens and no answers mean it's in your head type of thing
I was in pain for 5 years, it affected my mental health, positivity, my work. Five doctors dismissed me and one told me I should get counselling as I was imagining the pain. I described the pain as shards of glass, scratching my insides. I now understand what it was thanks to Sally K Norton. It was High Oxalates in my body.
what do you eat now?
High via me ,+254701427633
So how do you fix that.
Me too! Go to Sally’s website and download the list of high and low oxalate foods. Not just spinach and almonds, but things like black pepper and chocolate. It is helping me a lot.
I had this same symptom when I had endometriosis during mid-cycle and when I had to have a b.m. I was in a horrible amount of pain. When I had a total hysterectomy at age 33 all of the pain went away. The doctor told me my uterus was folded backwards like an envelope from the scarring and it was a miracle I was able to have my son.
Sometimes treatments like herbs and food won't heal things in the body that need to be cut out.
I know many people will disagree with me but my own experience has made it clear to me.
The medical system is failing us all. We need a proactive preventative approach not just a reactive one. Instead of just putting a Band-Aid on the wound find out what is causing the wound. When people are needing to see up to six doctors for what should be a simple diagnosis and effective treatment you know something is wrong.
They wouldn't make money off well patients. Lol
@@grose2272 Exactly. That is why they have no real interest in healing people.
I agree, doctors should be paid to keep us well. We should pay them regularly if we are healthy. They shouldn't be paid if we are sick or unable to earn money- work.
Three ophthalmologists and two doctors and not one could figure out i had dermetitis. Even after i went to my primary care doctor and told him i think i have an allergic reaction he dismissed it. Walked myself into an allergist... well i am allergic to neomycin 2nd most common allergy in dermatitis. Seriously? I had to diagnosed myself?
Had a cough for two months was told to take a cough drop. Again walk myself to a pulmonologist had bronchitis triggered by allergic reactions.
The amount of contaminants and carcinogens are too much for living beings to take and our autoimmune systems are under too much stress.
Most doctors are a huge disappointment. Fibromyalgia, Raynauds, Interstitial cystitis are all syndromes .. tell someone their pain isn't real. An women get treated differently too.. We are depressed or hysterical and once we reach 45 we are Perimenopause then Menapouse they have an answer to everything for us but the real one.
Its true, we need grandmas wisdom and herbal meds.
I went through the same experience as Dr. Li. after the birth of my child , i got thyroid disease and it couldnt be diagnosed for many months in traditional medicine. It wasnt until my neck had protruded and swollen , and i started getting these heat attacks, that i was taken seriously. As is the trend here in Kenya, after delivery, one is put on birth control because it is claimed that when a woman is breast feeding, that is when she is most fertile. That worked against me and literally messed up my whole hormonal system. I am lucky to have finally diagnosed Graves Disease, but a close friend of mine died after she gave birth to her baby, because her hyperthyroidism could not be detected. I then founded the Thyroid Disease Awareness Kenya Foundation just to help people learn exactly what is being discussed here. We hope to demistify this myth and empower people to take charge of their own health, by arming them with the right information. So happy right now to hear these two traditional doctors accept the fact that traditional medicine and what they are taught is not always the truth. The body is a very complex combination of systems that so delicately depend on one another, and when one system is off, then the rest of the systems cannot work properly. The endocrine system is the most under emphasized system in the medical world, and yet the most important systems in the body. Like people here will tell you of the digestive system, the reproductive system, but the endocrine system is so foreign. We are working to demistify that.
Good job . Not an easy task you have accomplished. I worked in Kenya in thé late 90s and now I’m the USA in health care .
Oh wow I will check out your foundation. I did have some thyroid issues and I healed with apple cider vinegar, mediation, baking soda, exercise and being positive. No one understands thyroid issues in Kenya. Thanks dear for bringing this up.

It's amazing to me how similar my story is to hers with autoimmune issues. I'm not a doctor. Doctors wouldn't listen to me because my labs were "normal". I did research for 3 years on my own and slowly got my life back. I am on Levothyroxine. A low dose to get me in the optimal range rather than just normal range. Finally a doctor was willing to try it but he told me beforehand that he thought it wouldn't work. It worked. It helped with the last leg of getting my entire life back.
so your solution was to be on levothyroxine? i have low tsh and normal t3t4. with muscles tiring easily. is my problems like yours?
Are you fully recovered?
@@TheBushRanger. since I posted this I also learned I was extremely low in Ferritin. Once I got that in the normal range and I've been on my levothyroxine and have had the dose increased several times. My life health has gotten dramatically better. Aside from the occasional accidental glutening making me sick for weeks at a time.
It was not an accident that I came across this video at this point in my life, suffering for a long time now from an auto-immune disease. Thank you for sharing Dr. Li and Dr. Hyman. God bless you and yours!
Me too! No mistakes at all.
It’s by Gods grace alone, that we are lead to see this video because too many people are suffering from this.
I had a dozen doctors look at me for 3 years, and eventually concluded that my symptoms (head-to-toe nerve issues) were psychosomatic. Therapy did and is continuing to help, but there's so much more to the story. I was basically abandoned after they decided everything was "in my head." Over the past couple years I've been strengthening my body, eating dofferently, sleeping properly, and prioritizing self care. I've been learning about trauma and how it affects the vagus nerve, about histamine intolerance, and about leaky gut -- and I'm slowly fixing myself. Didn't even have to go to med school. 😂 Looking into thyroid health now, thanks! 💕✌️
Hello, I’m not trying to be intrusive, but when you say head to toe nerve issues are you talking about numbness?
Look up Broda Barnes he was brilliant! He was a pioneer in thyroid, his patients greatly loved him! He wrote several books; take a look!
Can you describe your diet
So thankful for this interview. Truly empowered me & validated my suffering. How I feel and my rights matter, too. No longer allowing these Dr’s to tell me how my body should feel or what I should do. Started IF, healing my gut, I know once I get to the root of the problem all the other symptoms will go away.
To those suffering - trust yourself! You will find the answers in time. And if any Dr’s don’t take you seriously or dismiss/undermine you - move on! Find someone who has compassion, asks you the right questions & seeks to understand rather than be understood.
Much love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A great interview, thanks. As a chiropractor who does Functional Medicine for decades I found the self journey about thinking ,"I know it all" as a ____ doctor that this applies to all doctors, DCs, MDs, NDs, etc. We think the one thing we learned or found is the only or main way to heal people and we lose our open mindedness to other disciplines of healing, traditional and modern. Be open minded as a doctor and never stop being open to other ideas if healing. Thanks.
Bless you.
My former doctor told me that the "formula" was 1 medication for each decade of life. I told him that the fact that there is a "formula" is the issue. And, I do believe that doctors perpetuating chronic illness by telling patients that they will be taking their meds for the rest of their lives and not giving them the hope that they could possibly heal themselves by other means.
Very true. Many doctors killed d hope of their patients for continued health n long life by their careless words to their patients.
Thank you for validating the dismissive, pejorative experience many of us deal with for years before proper diagnosis. The struggle is very real.
👍👍👍
I’m a second year medical student and have a strong interest in functional medicine. I have felt for years diet and lifestyle can prevent or reverse many of the chronic diseases that sicken millions of people. I myself developed benign fasciculation syndrome last April and still deal with some of the symptoms this day. I was super stressed, very anxious, and had a terrible bout of insomnia during my first year and have jacked up the balance in my body. I know that I will reverse this in time and it won’t be because of a medication. It will be proper nutrition, proper sleep, proper mental health, and proper exercise. I feel those are the cornerstones of remaining or returning to wellness.
How are you doing these days?
You are on the right track ! But food companies sell horrible stuff they call edible and people eat it !
I doing all that but exercise still not better got ebv over active thyroid and my Ra arthritis is flare up I still don't have energy this shit sucks
HiMDZac2024: keep up your wellness protocol as best you can during the rest of med school. You will be sleep deprived during your residency ( not fair) . You will be tempted to grab junk food for quick energy but try to resist. Listen to Dr. Rob Lustig about how fast food is laced with sugar and is addictive. Using junk food to keep going could trigger the start of metabolic syndrome.
This gives me hope for the future of medicine. I hope functional and integrative medicine become mainstream sooner than later.
Doctors only give you 15 minutes.... and pills upon pills🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
THIS!!!!!! Just in & out!!! No empathy or compassion!! My rheumatologist can’t even pronounce my name & wants to give me lots of drugs!!! No questions of my past, lifestyle, mental health. Nothing. Like someone else commented, be your own advocate & trust yourself! We live in our own bodies, we know our bodies better than anyone!
True.
It is ridiculous
More like 5 minutes

This conversation gave me hope for the future of doctors. I lost faith and trust in doctors about 40 years ago, so I stayed healthy by not going near them. For broken bones, they're great, and I valued the fact of them being there. But they aren't the road to health. Naturopaths, herbalists, osteopaths, acupuncurists, nutrition, minerals, vitamins, sea and tissue salts, meditation, colon cleanses, electrical cleaning, trusting your instinct, which doesn't lie, and avoiding pharmaceuticals where possible is the journey I took. This has lead to better understanding my systems, trusting the intelligence of the body, having confidence in the human design and it's ability to heal itself. Incentivised medicine for profit is killing it. What has it got to do with real CARE.
This was a very inspiring video! I am 69 years old and have been sick for 5 months so far and just found out today that I have an autoimmune disease. After hearing Dr. Cynthia Li’s story, I now have more faith that I can get well. Thank you both very much for not only telling us your own stories that some of us can relate to but also for being so honest to describe the differences between conventional medicine and functional medicine. It is very refreshing to hear two respected doctors admit that so many doctors not only don’t believe what we tell them but they leave so much unresolved. It is wonderful to hear you are both medical doctors that see and know that functional medicine has so much to offer to all of us. I only wish that all doctors would take the time to listen to you both!! Thank you again!!!

How are you feeling 6 months after this post?
Inspiring. I am a doctor and will take a lot of these lessons from Cynthia Li to heart. Thank you!
Thank you. I wish your colleagues would do the same. They hurt people in severe pain, every day, by their ignorance and dismissiveness. It is hard enough to have to battle pain, without also having to battle the medical profession. We lose our livelihoods, and sometimes our lives, without any help.

This! This right here speaks to my soul! It is the type of healthcare practice I want to learn more about and absorb as much as I can. I’m a nurse, and I knew right away there is something wrong and something profoundly missing in our healthcare system. It discouraged me from the field, I almost wanted to change careers, especially during this pandemic. I’ve watched both my mom and my aunt’s health deteriorate drastically, they’re both ICU nurses, they both had to force retire and did not fully enjoy their retirement. I made a promise to learn from their mistakes and to put my health first. Thus video gives me hope. The body is so smart! And everything works together, not in isolation.

Wow! 'Difficult patient' stigma is something I know so v well! also, the way drs treat you with psychiatric meds - anti- anxiety, depression... so glad to hear someone else knows and understands it. Being told often to visit a psychiatrist. Autoimmune is a lonely journey.
I wonder if I will ever encounter a physician who says this to me? They know I am an academic, clinical, and research psychologist with 20 plus years experience, they wouldn't dare! I was just diagnosed with hypothyroidism due to low TSH levels. The diagnosis is always confirmed in lab work, not just symptoms in traditional medicine. This is for insurance coding and billing purposes. We have the same paradigm in clinical psychological practice. Am on thyroid meds. I think this started with a meal in a Houston Chinese restaurant in the late 1980s. Dont remember what I ate. I was 40, dizzy, so dizzy I was throwing up. After a month, I had a MRI to check for brain tumor. I have have had balance issues ever since 30 yrs. FInally after four mos wearing scopalomine patches my vertigo eased up. I had had chicken pox in my childhood. Later in my 60s, Shingles appeared, treating with aycyclovir. I had dental issues took two courses of antibiotics killed all my gold gut bacteria, got systemic candida. Treating that with Fluconazol. Some functional medicine pratitioners have studied thousands of medical studies and found that three common factors were in most thyroid patients a viral infection, followed later, sometimes years later by vertigo, tiredness etc.,. Then high stress becomes a trigger. Finally gluten and sometimes dairy sensitivity. That fits my path. I am certain I have had chronic low level hypothyroidism. The causes were multiple. THe management is multiple.....I have inflammation of nerves with numb feet, cold hands and feet, muscle tiredness and weakness, it is believed the cerebellum in the lower back of the brain is inflammed infectiong balance etc. I have periodic brain fog...my intellect when not exhausted and inflammed, is not affected, not my long term memory. My short term memory IS affected when I am inflammed but not,when I am not inflamed. I am not depressed , I was mystified and curious, not,happy about symptoms but otherwise happy in my life. I know everything has a cause. I was eating a very healthy high plant medium protein diet, low sugar, low gluten diet. Now I know that isnt enough for ME at THIS stage I must have NO sugar, substitutes, or gluten. SO this is a journey for me now my body needs more protein, red meats as I was anemic . More spinach, folic acid supplementation. Zero gluten. Zero sugar.
@@latinaalma1947 i just got the same symptoms low tsh, normal t3 t4. muscle tiredness weakness with just little usage. May i know if you have cured yourself? is the answer zero gluten and sugar?

I admire the financial independence of people, But you can live better if you work a little more. After watching this I think there are people out there, on the extreme, who plan to die early just to be able to retire early. To each their own but to me, retirement isn't just about not having to work, it's about having the freedom to do whatever you might reasonably want, such as travel, buying things, enjoying life, etc. I don't think I could retire with less than $3m in income-generating investments, maybe $2m at the very minimum. I plan to work until I'm at least 45
Nobody knows anything, you need to create your own process, manage risk and stick to the plan, through thick or thin while also continuously learning from mistakes and improving

Einstein's Cat That is a life long journey. One thing I suggest is to step outside yourself and try and see the person (which is you) as the primary care giver of that soul. You have been given huge responsibilities with that soul. How are you going to take care of it?
@@soulpowerful that was a brilliant suggestion. I did it exactly in the same way. ❤️🌺☀️❤️
Jeanette Nejadi Thank you so much for your comment ❤️🦋 and sharing.
I was listening to Robert Martindale, MD PhD. He is a Surgeon with his PhD in nutrition. He has studied probiotics extensively. He explains how inflammation starts in the Gut. He has devoted his life to giving lectures to Doctors about how nutrition can heal you.
Thank God!
Very interesting and insightful podcast. I am a family doctor myself and have suffered from chronic conditions. I think util you become really sick yourself, you dont really challenge the traditional western medicine. I love to be able incorporate holistic medicine into my practice and help my patients beyond just numbers ! Thanks for this :)
while this may sound strange, to be a great holistic doctor you should go examine their kitchen...that will tell you all you need to know, if it's junk? or if there's "nothing"? then that's even worse, they are fast food junkies...either way it's where any treatment should start
Do you take new patients?
How are you getting better .. nice to hear a family Dr say that chronic is hard to heal .
Thank u 4 saying .. now if they are poor lead a life from boxed canned and junk .. and remove to ? Maybe you can help do they detox ? How what's to do
Other than Hyman's occasional interruptions, I found Li's retelling of her journey compelling and informative. Thank you for holding space for her experience.
As someone who has an autoimmune condition, this is everything. Thanks so much for sharing this :)
Let food be your medicine! Read up on medicinal mushrooms and first milking colostrum. They help immensely to heal and regenerate the entire body and all it's organs if taken on a daily basis in sufficient, therapeutic amounts. Colostrum is especially important for anyone with a weakened or compromised immune system. Do your best to avoid all forms of corn and corn starch, soy, wheat, vegetable oil (corn, safflower, canola, soybean, sunflower, etc.), red meat/dairy (except for grass fed) and of course refined sugar and junk/fast food. It's all about prevention of disease rather than treating or masking symptoms with modern drugs. Best of luck and health to you.
@@tehnewsguy is sunflower oil bad?
My daughter gave me some frozen colostrum. And frozen colostrum milk.. I'm hoping to whip them up into a Balm, (nipple cream/nappy rash)
Perhaps different to what you are speaking about?
@@ralsharp6013 Yes, it's best to avoid the consumption of this oil or any food with sunflower oil due to the fact it is too high in polyunsaturated omega-6 fat and is highly refined and oxidized which greatly contributes to chronic inflammation plus the formation of damaging free radicals in the body. You are much better off eating a small amount of sunflower seed. Avocado, extra virgin olive & coconut oil are much safer and healthier. Grass-fed ghee/butter is also a healthy choice. As for colostrum, it can be taken either directly into the mouth with some water or mixed in food or beverage. It can also be used externally as a paste applied to the skin to heal a rash or minor cuts or wounds more quickly without scarring.
@@tehnewsguy is chaga mushroom part of what you're talking about?
@@DarkAngel-cj6sx Yes, I'm currently taking chaga daily for overall health and disease prevention. More specifically, I'm taking two different mushroom products. One is a blend of five medicinal mushrooms (reishi, chaga, cordyceps, turkey tail, lion's mane) with cacao and coconut palm sugar and the other product is just ground chaga powder. They are both dual extraction and micronized to obtain the full benefits and for better/improved absorption. They are kind of expensive but it's much easier than purchasing the raw material and making my own from scratch at home. Besides the fact that I really like and enjoy chocolate so it's a win-win for me.
Dr Li is a wonderful person. I feel like she’s a long lost friend. Everything she says resonates with me. Thank you so much.
Lo Mei Seh. Yes, but how did she heal? Good was to hear she learned basic intuition, to turn off the left brain and on the right. To take herself for walks at regular times, not just her dog! To get sleep, since that gives necessary energy etc. Did you get what else? And WHAT is the inflammation diet? Vegs?
Some say animal protein is good for inflammation, my nutrition therapist said it gives inflammation, at least in larger quantities. Idk what to eat, esp since OI can't digest protein, not carbs and not sugar, and have been stuck in sugar addiction and compulsive over-and undereating for years. With teeth eroding and breaking quickly and terribly, I can't even chew properly which worsens digestion, absorption etc, and I have too much stress and anxiety to chew for long, too. So exhausted, get very little done,and feel chased by the need tió save my life an´nd do sth useful and LIVE. Hope you answer. I am serious in self-help, but too threatened, sleep deprived, malnourished through stress and isolated to be clear and motivated. HAve struggled for decades.
@@Medietos Animal protein from (almost all) mammals does give inflammation, just research Neu5Gc.
There is one thing which reduces inflammation more than anything else;
Omega-3 oil. Flax seed is the only seed which has much more Omega-3 than Omega-6.
Our stomach acid can't break down the hull, so it needs to be ground first.
If using only the oil; flax seed oil oxidizes easily (is called going rancid), so needs to be kept cool and as hermetically sealed as possible.
You also need some coconut oil with it, to enable to body to convert it to the usable form.
Get a nutrients & minerals test done, and take care of any deficiencies, primarily through diet, secondly through supplements.
Both magnesium and calcium are a lot easier to just take as supplement.
You should aim to transisition to a mostly alkaline, ketogenic diet.
Stay away from highly processed artificial "foods".
If you can't chew your food, use a grinder or blender first.
@@silvergreylion thanks, but what made you think I did not know anything because I had forgotten just that Q? Oh, how I need advice on the things I do NOT know! And individual support.
Btw, how would coconut oil help the flax seed oil, have not heard of that. I like coconut oil, but it is Yin and some say it is not that good to use. I am at a loss what ton eat, meat good for Zn and blood sugar but not for rheumatism and acid... Have to get blood sugar in order and manage to eat 3 meals, and with small portions only of wild meat, it should be Ok.I am too sick for the health program with HMA I want to do, and need assistence to manage. An advocate to get the assistence...I know my imbalances 2,5 years ago, and don't think they are better, since stress is too bad for body to digest and absorb etc. Can't make energy, freezing since years , with hot skin and freezing cold. Would you be good enough to Please pray for my peace, stress relief, assistence, restitution, home, money, healing situation and -helper?. Keep well.
@@Medietos Have you ever had a stool sample analyzed with regard to the bacterial composition?
From your symptoms/condition, I'd say your intestinal flora could be out of balance / "corrupted".
This can happen with strong antibiotics, as they can kill off part of your intestinal flora, and it doesn't always recover by itself. Thing is, some bacteria keep others in check, in that they prevent them from multiplying too much and 'taking over', but if they're (almost) gone, then you'll have some overgrowth.
If your stool sample shows a high percentage of fungus (which it never should), then that's a big part of what's wrong.
If you have a temporary improvement from eating something with crushed garlic (which is very anti-fungal), then that's because the fungus dies off temporarily, but grows back once you eat something with carbohydrates, as it consumes primarily sugars, and keeps doing so, causing your blood sugar to crash. This is what causes abnormal sugar cravings.
Now, it's not healthy to keep eating lots of garlic for weeks on end, and it will remove some calcium, so taking a calcium supplement is necessary if trying this.
Colloid silver is another powerful anti-fungal remedy, but should be used sparingly, especially at first.
Edit: forgot to mention, the acids and byproducts produced by fungi will lower your body pH-level and be detrimental to your teeth, which was another clue to me.
@@silvergreylion : Thank you warmly from my pit, I am touched by your caring. I did have stool and other samples done in 2004, yes. Who are you, a professional or amateur, interested, healing yourself maybe? Would you possibly be in the position of caring to help me, coaching? The situation is more complex than you outlined, although it is interesting. What schools do you know and believe in? I can't go on being thrown here and there by many others' theories and views, that in itself has made me worse from stress, splitting. What I need is someone to actually consult, who doesn't hijack me and not need to know best, know it all and control me, decide for me, , but who is big enough to stand back , be of service and help me find my healing. I have been close for decades, but stress to death by lack of wisdom in many in helping positions . We human beings tend to project unto oyhers what we are absorbed in ourselves and finding out about, "seeing2 it everywhere. That can get incorrect, like the email chiropractor who from my stressed-emotional email decided that I had Mould sickness. I applied to him for helping me through a Nutritional Balancing Science program. Not denying that it may be possible, but he seemed on the fanatic, rigid side about it, which tired and frustrated me and made the contact stop sadly. I want(ed) help with that healing program, his hypothesis could have been a later option. I can't be any more pressured by someone else's wish to control in very limited knowledge of me..
If you want to help me, I can tell and reply to everything you need to know. But have to know that you know enough first, I have been much maltreated and up to today been severely harmed.So please think of my safety and protection. I hope you answer.
State what extent of engagement you are able and wílling to, so that I keep my material within proper bounds. It would be a good change to receive support or help...
Btw, I know one doesn't ave to know it all to be of help, the human etheric and heart interaction does it work in the invisible and psychological-spiritual. Still, some has to be in place.
Symptoms are one thing but the CAUSE may differ and demand different measures, right? Are you well or working at your healing? Emotionally?
as a mental health provider, the biggest challenge with my patients is convincing them that lifestyle modifications can significantly improve their physical & mental health and not necessarily being dependent on medications for every symptom.
As a medical professional... I do agree. Most patients in my country feel that they must walk away with a prescription.
When we don’t even know WHAT we don’t know, it comes down to having an idea of what good health is supposed to look like, and having faith that there is something to look for that will heal us.
Been there many times.
I love the honesty here! Dr. Mark...To admit that you really didn't have full confidence in the beginning of your FM journey as a FM doctor and to be a little surprised, even for years when the therapies of changing people's diets actually WORKED, is an an amazingly honest statement!
I really enjoyed this dialogue between these two physicians! Sometimes God challenge our intellect and knowledge not Punish us but to be a blessing to others. I was recently diagnosed with Lupus and my Doctor shared the diagnosis with me and referred me to arthritis specialist. Made appointment and after three weeks of waiting, day before my appointment I have received a call to confirm my appointment. At that moment I have already lost my insurance and the woman who called to confirm my appointment has asked how am going to pay to see the Dr, I have asked how much it would be if I pay cash, I asked if they can arrange payment plan and I have mentioned to pay portion of it when I see the Dr. The nurse treatment me really bad when knowing I have no insurance. I was in a lot of pain and was so looking forward to the appointment. I started reading, listening podcast like this and started applying what I learned. Being a vegetarian made it easy but when I started avoiding carb’s. Sugar, and drinking green smoothie. I felt a lot better!! I figured out what triggers my symptoms in my own! I feel much better, sleep well, and I know I am on the road healing ! We are our own Doctors!
Your experience shows that mainstream doctors are not in it to help people, but for the money. Sounds like it turned out to be the best thing for you! You found a better way...a much more healthy way to help yourself. Praying for you 🙏
@@randysusanross8128 indeed. Thank you so much
Yes, yes, it's your life, your body. I agree, you have to be your own Doctor. I had rheumatoid arthritis, stiff joints, inflammation, and severe pain for about two years, I took prednisone once a day, but now, I don't take anything. I cured rheumatoid arthritis but was supposedly no cure for it.
Gosh, feels like I'm listening to my life for the past 10years. And working greatly to reverse it.

@@tehnewsguy thanks to you two this makes me feel that there is hope and a solution for my thyroid problem too
This is perhaps the best broadcast on chronic fatigue I have seen. The onset of my own disease is echoed in a lot of the scenarios (except pregnancy!). Certainly, the travel and getting sick in a foreign culture and country on a different diet. The removal of gluten made a radical difference too and taking strain of the thyroid , digestion and adrenals, as well as gradually addressing hormonal imbalance is totally correct.
This has been my life for the last 18 years. I’ve just finish Mark Hymans book and I’m starting my health journey in two days. Just waiting for my food shopping to arrive. I’m so excited to get better for me and my loving family. Xxx such great people
Do you have a health journey update you could share?
It's been a year. Jope you are better, and can share how is your journy doing.
I stopped eating gluten years ago, initially just to lose weight, and was planning to go back to eating it. It was like drinking from the Fountain of Youth. Many symptoms that I thought were due to aging went way. I'm in my 60's and my memory and cognitive functioning is better than it has better been in my life. I could feel the inflammation lift from my body and mind. I also have no joint pain. Too many more things got better to list, but I am not done. I think leaky gut, while much better now, is still an issue, and my blood pressure is elevated. Still working, but I'm encouraged because I feel so much better.
@gillarasford What are the supplements for?
Great explanation about yourself. Good example for people like me. Back to nature n knowing our own mind n a determination to live on with vibrant health is extremely impt. Sleepless nights caused more headache, confusion n suffering mentally n physically. As one switches off any channel on d tv he does not want, we need to switch off any thought dt causes disturbances in sleep, taking deep n slow breathing helps for immediate sleep... God bless u all
This is VERY enlightening. As a 70 year old retired physician this talk makes me want to totally relearn medicine FUNCTIONALLY!. Unfortunately cost is prohibitive.
The funny thing is that what works is generally very cheap but marketed as very expensive.
You can use the Internet! Read articles, speak with functional medicine doctors! 💞
@centerpromise5900 How I would love to have conversation with You. Anything science, thought process, the proof in the pudding, etc. So many theories I've postulated have been proven correct and OBSERVATION is such an incredible teacher! Not coversations anyone I've ever met really cares to have. I did pre-med at Rutgers. 3.96. No funds for medical school. Have a wonder-filled 2024 New Year!!!
Thanks doctor. I sent this to my daughter who is nurse practitioner. I hope and pray she. Follows it
I am a shaman and when you described the figure not wanted to leave, I can feel the goosebump. lol Thanks for sharing. During my awakening of becoming a shaman, I went through the same experiences. From doctors to doctors, specialists, acupuncture, herbalists, therapy, GI, EKG, Urgent care to ER, and nothing worked. I was only dx with anxiety and GI issue. I started doing my own research and starting listening to my intuition and practice yoga and meditation. I listen to my body, pay attention to what I eat and how I cook it. Only you can cure yourself when no one can't. I believe that your wellness has to be balance with being physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Years ago on a cable TV show regarding what it was like for ER medical personnel, one of the doctors suddenly came down with appendicitis. He said he was shocked at how it felt to be a patient. Almost naked, loss of control over what was going on etc. It was a real eye-opener for him and he gained a real understanding of what it was like to be on the other side.
My daughter was diagnosed with ITP,she was on tab_Azathioprine since 6 months.Sir this ITP is curable or not
Your candid conversation about putting the care back into healthcare post medical school was deep! Thank you both for your perseverance and personal sharing.
I have something similar but constipation
I feel u pain inflammation in my body host IBS C
Giving up wheat has made an enormous improvement in my health. I'm a kinesiologist (retired) but it took me ages to work out that I'm very wheat intolerant. I would recommend people to go to a good kinesiologist to be tested for causes of illness.

I’d be thrilled to find an internist that thinks and practices like this ...
This is an excellent conversation that should be incorporated into medical training along with good bedside manners.
Unfortunately the pharmaceutical industry controls the medical profession, including protocols to treat the diagnosis
Dietary changes, finding food sensitivities, time.... healing of the gut, more changes and time have HUGE in feeling better. Inflammation causing the symptoms Amazing we are all different ... but a healthy gut is the start of a healthy body. Eating healthy whole foods... nothing prepacked. I always say if I can't read or understand the ingredients listed on the box my body can't either.
100% I just got diagnosed with RA but I think it’s gut issues , I started to stop dairy and gluten to see what happens
@@susykings3343 any difference, Susy?
I get this 100%. I had "chronic fatigue." Went to UofWashington, Virginia Mason, Centur Wellness Clinic. It wasn't until I went to Dr. Jacob Titelbaum in Maryland (I'm from Montana) and he educated me in so many supplements and told me when I return home find a good naturopath (I found the best) because no regular doctor will have a clue what you're going through. He finally allowed me to have Armour thyroid which cleared me out of a fog. He made sure I was up on D3/K2. He got my iron up to speed. It's been a lifelong journey. But I know when to go to an allopath (and very rarely go) vs. a naturopath. This was very interesting.
This video is one of the best things I've come across on the internet in the last months. You're both the kind of physician I would have loved to become. Thank you so much for sharing your paths and open generous vision of medicine.
So encouraging listening to two open minded Doctors talking about this stuff. My Mother in Law has been practicing Naturopathy for almost 60years and she began that journey by treating herself as a Celiac patient when all Dr's wanted to do was operate on her intestinal tract and start removing bits. She also tested many patients suffering the effects of high levels of mercury poisoning and was an advocate for the removal of mercury teeth fillings back in the 1970's & 80's which was ridiculed at the time by most professionals. I suffered debilitating 3 day migraines every 2weeks for decades as I couldn't afford the expensive migraine meds prescribed but it was only when I changed my diet (mostly going sugar free) that I am now Migraine free and have been for over 10 years.
Every Dr should listen to this. When we have problems like this the medical community dismisses us.
If you are a Christian FOLLOWING Jesus Christ's foot steps when he was CARRING the TORTURE Stake. His SUFFERING his followers willing accepted to Carry endure for man's LIFE until death agreement. In ordrer
Being obedient to being approved to being SAVED by Jesus. So SUFFERING IS NATURAL christian Life.
You say you are hurting miserable grieving losses. Dr. Says " YOU R Healthy". 👌👌 Do NOT Complain.
Depression is NORMAL. )
We all want to feel GOOD & SAFE every day of our lives. Right???
You are your own and possibly others doctor. By Belief of your DNA ability, if you can absolutely Believe the God given ability. Like they call it Plascibo, but it is you who makes the cure happen by thought and talking to your brain and DNA.as the man Jesus said,. “Ask and you will receive “. The only proviso is you, Must Believe. Or it will not come true. The miracle is it happens,via you. Because God , being everywhere, he is in you and all have have DNA . Not a Christian thing, it is all humans .
If doctors don’t follow the AMA , they lose their license to practice.
