[Root Causes] of Lupus, SLE Autoimmune ANA+ Genetics & Inflammation, Medical Doctor Explains

“Fuel the Mind, Heal the Gut, Reclaim Immunity”
Have Lupus? Want to stop INFLAMMATION for good?
____________________________________________
Show Notes:
Genetics do not explain the whole story.
There once was a time, when you were healthy, when you had the same genes as you do now!
"Bad Genes," once activated, cause inflammation.
70-80% of the immune mediated inflammation starts in the gut.
"Bad Genes" can also come from "Bad Microbes" living in our intestines

Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) show multiple genes involved in Lupus (and anti-nuclear antibody positivity); but these pro-inflammatory genes are not always activated.

Mind-Gut-Immunity Clinic Philosophy:
Turn on good genes, turn off bad genes, Promote good microbes, remove bad microbes.
Achieve lasting relief without medications.

5 Epigenetic Root Causes:
Poor Diet
Troubled Digestion
Diminished Sleep
Emotional Stress
Exercise Deficiency

is my worst trigger. After three miscarriages, a very difficult pregnancy, and a second better pregnancy, our daughter was born with disabilities. It wasn’t long before I experienced crashing thyroid and adrenals. The next 15 years, I experienced my husband finishing grad school, several close relatives die, countless hours of therapy for our daughter, homeschooling, and a part-time job. Three years ago, my husband’s kidneys failed. Three years later, he’s on hemodialysis 40+ hours a week here at home. Dealing with his dialysis has become another part-time job for me. Last year, after 11 grueling months of systematic, head to toe hives, I was finally diagnosed with lupus. One doctor simply told me to reduce my stress levels, and I burst out crying. I’m working with a nutritionist to maximize my healing. Thank you for hope!

My symptoms started in the fall of 2020, when I was fighting to save my business - my family’s sole source of income - and experiencing the biggest stressor of my life. I didn’t know what diagnosis I had, but I intuitively knew to address my diet. Though I’m 100% off all flour and sugar, which did seem to help significantly, I’m still struggling with symptoms. My sleep is actually pretty good. The business came back, but this whole time, I’ve been wondering if I should get a divorce. Can’t help but think the daily stress of that lack of resolution is causing the tendency toward flares. I’ve been doing morning yoga 15 min to 1 hr, but the more I exert, the more likely I’ll get a bout of fatigue later. Not being tired, or sore, but debilitating fatigue. You’re saying it’s not really the stress itself, but I don’t know. Feels like stress itself is a trigger to me?

Hello doctor, I am from Bangladesh. I have been a lupus patient since 2017. I found your video from our lupus community. Very informative and helpful. Going to watch all episodes about lupus❤️

[Yshta]

Thankyou doctor for such gem of information…. I have borderline lupus readings in my bloodtest and it lead to early miscarriages for me…. Following your directions now am determined to reverse my condition ….thankyou so so much

Just saw University of Florida is doing research on gut biome and lupus mechanism.

Stress was the original trigger thirty years ago and still is today. And I don’t do a good job of gandering stress. But I try.

All 5 are a problem for me. I was diagnosed with Lupus and Mixed connective tissues disease mid 2019. I had to see 2 different RA’s to get someone to believe me that I was having a problem. For me they just kind of came out of nowhere. My first set of symptoms was consistent headaches/migraines, I could be standing and my vision would blackout for no reason for 5 to 10 seconds, my hands started to hurt, I was tired all the time, my skin would get splotchy in the sun, i would get a mild butterfly rash from being outside for to long in the sun, I had a horrible coughing fits for 3 months and no one could figure out the cause of it. My entire life I have always been told I have a high positive ANA level but I had no symptoms from anything so no doctor would decide to look further into why. I always had a very high chance in a lower extremity injury with joints, bone, or muscle/tendons when I was younger. We just thought I was highly accident prone as a kid and thought nothing of it, but now it all makes sense. I am over using medication to try to help with my lupus because I am now on 2 different kinds to get it under control but it still hasn’t been helping and now I understand why. My RA never told me about this type of approach to helping with my lupus and mixed connective tissue disease. I thank you for that.

Very informative! You've just earned a follower and a subscriber for this video alone. Thanks

Just looking at the video triggers symptoms 😢😁. For me, it's stress and food.

I have read that the predisposition to Lupus can be traced back to some of our ancestors who did farm work and walked around the barnyard barefooted. It has been suggested it is a virus that entered into the gene pool and gets passed on down. However, not everybody comes down with Lupus depending on their immune system. Diet, vitamins and exercise can certainly be helpful
in dealing with the disease.

Goodmorning from NZ, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

For me it is also stress from death of my dad and i had to tidy up all the loose ends

Stress is what caused my Cardiomyopathy. That was 10 years ago at 65. My Cardiologist said a year later "This is a miracle your heart is back to normal." When I was diagnosed with Lupus a year later my Internist said "They don't use the word remission in Lupus but you don't have any signs of Lupus anymore." Now at 75 I'm under extreme stress due to Elder Abuse from my neighbor. My BP was 255/155 for awhile. I saw my Cardiologist and I have a new prescription plus I'm taking B complex vitamins and that really helps. So my Lupus is back and is worse because I'm older. (Still young at heart ☺️)
A doctor I have never seen stopped my Plaquenal and I've had a flare ups for months continually. Hard to find Rheumatologist in Michigan. Double whammy with Fibromyalgia and Lupus. Have had Fibromyalgia 38 years.
I have to mentally and physically get rid of Lupus again. Your information will start me on my path. The mind helps alot 💕🙏 Thank you 🌞

I’d say long term anxiety…now chronic pain too. How do we get out of the cycle when in pain?

[tracyhogan]

My symptoms literally started after I gave birth to my son. It took till he was 6 months old to get my diagnosis.

[yeahthatafact]

Hey doc. I am working on a video on autoimmune diseases [Particularly Crohn's]. I will mention your channel name in the description for all the information you have provided in this video. I don't think half of this video [which isn't even ready yet] could've been possible without this information. Thanks

[tracycombs]

I have lupus and antipholipid how do I know what to eat and what not to eat I want off all this medicine 😢😢
