After years of playing root cause detective and feeling somewhat dissatisfied with what naturopathic medicine alone could offer, Dr. Winchester decided to harness the power of her patient’s subconscious mind to clear hidden root causes, address past trauma and literally rewire their minds and bodies for success, restoring balance and harmony in their immune systems.
Don’t think it’s possible? Don’t let your limiting beliefs stand in the way of your own health and healing, be sure to listen in!

| 29 Jun 2022 | ACE’s & Autoimmune | 00:24:11 | |
This episode is a heavy one, but it may shed some much-needed light on how trauma impacts our immune system and plays a rolling in the development of Autoimmune. It’s hard to imagine that something that happened to you as a child could have that much impact on how your body functions as an adult, but the research is there to support it. The research shows that trauma (and you’ll be surprised what fits into the category of trauma) changes how our body responds to stress and that directly impacts how we manage inflammation and the immune response. We are talking about big T trauma and little t -trauma, it all impacts us. If you’ve been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition this episode might be life-changing for you. You can make all the amazing lifestyle changes, and diet restrictions but if you haven’t dealt with this then you are missing a big piece of the autoimmune puzzle and are limiting your healing. | |||

After this episode you’ll have a better understanding of the ins and outs of gluten and its far reaching effects on the body as a whole … even if you don’t think it’s impacting your life.

| 07 Sep 2023 | Episode 103: The Butterfly Effect: The Power of Accountability and Small Changes. | 00:28:51 | |
Episode 103: The Butterfly Effect: The Power of Accountability and Small Changes. What really moves the needle on your health? Is it that one supplement? One lab test test? One diet intervention? We love to boil health down into "one thing", but the truth is, health resides in the minutia. The culmination of habits we do over time. We call this the butterfly effect. The "butterfly effect" is a fascinating concept suggesting that minute changes can lead to vast differences in outcome. In the context of autoimmune health, it underscores the idea that seemingly minor habit alterations can culminate in significant health transformations over extended periods. This is where the integration of dietary shifts, movement, mental well being, support systems and a concrete integrated plan really starts to move the needle on your health. They can interact, magnify and compound. For instance, improved hydration can bolster exercise performance, which then positively impacts mental health, creating a virtuous cycle of well-being! 🎧 Ready to learn more? Grab your headphones and press play on this week's podcast episode The Butterfly Effect: The Power of Accountability and Small Changes. Dr. Alison also introduces listeners to her health tracker and invites them to join the Autoimmune Academy Facebook group for further support. As a bonus, those who stay till the end get access to a special health toolkit. Whether you're looking to reframe thought patterns, understand the science behind habits, or simply find motivation, this episode is a treasure trove of insights. Tune in and kickstart your butterfly effect! -------------------------------------- About your host: Dr. Alison Danby is a Naturopathic Doctor trained in functional medicine, who has focused on immune function and autoimmune conditions for the last 15 years.

| 31 Aug 2023 | Episode 102: The Myth of the Single Root Cause | 00:32:59 | |
It's in our nature, isn't it? To seek simplicity in the complex world around us. We yearn for straightforward answers, for that one thing we can point to and say, "Aha! That's the culprit!" Unfortunately, when it comes to autoimmune conditions, this approach might be doing us more harm than good. Human tendency for simplicity can lead us astray. We often hear about the "root cause" of a condition. That one thing, that one trigger, that sets off the chain reaction. But when it comes to autoimmune conditions, pinning it down to a single "root cause" is not just an oversimplification; it's misleading. Think of it like a puzzle. Each piece represents a factor – genetics, environment, diet, stress, infections, and so on. Alone, each piece might not mean much. But together, they form the bigger picture, the complex interplay that leads to the onset of an autoimmune condition. 🎧Tune in this week as we journey deeper into the intricate realm of autoimmune conditions and start to understand that the common phrase 'root-cause' has been oversimplified. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- About your host: Dr. Alison Danby is a Naturopathic Doctor trained in functional medicine, who has focused on immune function and autoimmune conditions for the last 15 years.

About Laura Clowdus, RN, AIP Certified Coach & Certified Wellness Life Coach
After years working as a Registered Nurse, Laura Clowdus became the patient when she was diagnosed with her autoimmune disease, ankylosing spondylitis. She quickly learned that the conventional treatment of autoimmune disease prioritized managing symptoms instead of healing the body, so she began researching other options. She has now been living symptom free for five years by implementing lifestyle changes that significantly decrease her inflammation. Throughout her healing journey, she noticed the impact stress had on her body and struggled to figure out how to get control of it. Life coaching provided the answers she needed. Now, as a Certified Wellness Life Coach, she teaches autoimmune women how to confidently heal their minds and bodies so they can feel amazing again.

| 07 Jul 2021 | Inspired Journey - Eczema & Asthma | 00:44:05 | |
When it comes to addressing autoimmune disease we talk a LOT about gut health and diet, but oftentimes dietary adjustments alone are simply not enough.
Today we dive into the lifestyle topic of toxins, personal care and cleaning products with Kara Vogt of Wise Oak Soapery.
Kara shares about not only her personal journey with Hashimoto’s, fibromyalgia, eczema, psoriasis, asthma and chemical sensitivity and how the AIP and Paleo helped her turn things around, but how her son’s severe case of eczema as an infant led her to start her own business creating safe, natural products.
Tune in for some inspiration and simple tips you can start implementing right away.
…….
About Kara Kara and her son both have eczema and asthma. As a true autoimmune warrior, Kara took healing into her own hands researching and advocating for better care for both herself and her family. While she found the AIP and Paleo diets to be helpful in addressing her Hashimoto’s, Fibromyalgia and inverse acne she instinctively knew that what we choose to put on our skin and breathe in air is just as important as the foods we choose to nourish our bodies. Dissatisfied with products on the market, Kara started her own business making natural candles, soaps and skincare products for those with sensitive skin and chemical sensitivities.

| 22 Sep 2021 | Solo with Dr. Alison - Mold As An Autoimmune Trigger | 00:42:51 | |
In today's solo episode of the Autoimmune Simplified Podcast I share my knowledge (as both a Mold Certified Practitioner and someone with personal experience living with mold exposure) on the topic of mold, and mold as a trigger for autoimmune disease. With more than 25% of all buildings being affected by water damage of some sort, and 25% of the population being considered canaries in the mold “coal mine” (or delicate flowers as I prefer to call us moldies), mold is something I’m dealing with more and more in clinical practice. In this episode I present an overview on mold and talk about the long list of symptoms you should watch for that might indicate mold is what’s making you sick! Don't think you're dealing with mold because you can't smell it in your home or workplace? Don't be too quick to rule it out .. not all toxic mold has the telltale musty odor! Listen in and learn; how to recognize mold, the difference between mold colonization in the body and immune response, how mold can affect literally every system in the body (brain, lung, cardiovascular, digestive, vision, skin and more), lab test options, air filters, binders, detox, the best and worst foods for those dealing with mold, and so much more!

| 09 Nov 2023 | Episode 106: Unveiling the Tiredness: Chronic Inflammation, Anemia, and the Unique Exhaustion of Autoimmunity | 00:22:41 | |
Unveiling the Tiredness: Chronic Inflammation, Anemia, and the Unique Exhaustion of Autoimmunity Do you often ask yourself, "Why am I so unbelievably tired?" If you're grappling with an autoimmune condition, you're likely no stranger to fatigue that feels more like a permanent shadow than a passing cloud. In this insightful episode of "Fatigue Insights," we're peeling back the layers of one of the most perplexing symptoms of autoimmune diseases: deep-seated exhaustion. Fatigue in autoimmune disease isn't just your run-of-the-mill tiredness—it's a pervasive weariness that can derail your entire day. We delve into the under-discussed connection between chronic inflammation, anemia, and autoimmune fatigue to uncover why this type of tiredness is fundamentally different. Discover how inflammation's silent spread within your body can lead to a specific kind of anemia, aptly termed 'anemia of chronic disease,' and why it contributes to your relentless fatigue. Join us as we explore the science behind the fatigue that so many with autoimmune conditions endure. Learn about the biological processes that fuel this exhaustion and gain insights into potential strategies to reclaim your energy. It's not just fatigue; it's a battle within, and we're here to arm you with knowledge and support. Tune in and begin to understand the depths of autoimmune fatigue and what you can do to manage it. This episode might just be the key to unlocking the mystery of your tiredness and stepping towards a more energetic life, despite your autoimmune challenges. ------------------------------------------------------------------- About your Host Dr. Alison Danby is a Naturopathic Doctor trained in functional medicine, who has focused on immune function and autoimmune conditions for the last 15 years.
