1 month ago
- Kelly and the team discuss the possible relationship between environmental toxic burden and autoimmune skin conditions. Her childhood exposure near an aluminum factory becomes part of the broader conversation around environmental medicine.
- The episode explores the “arsonist vs. fire” analogy. Dr. Bauerschmidt explains how conventional immunosuppressive approaches often focus on suppressing symptoms, while functional medicine practitioners attempt to identify possible underlying contributors.
- Dr. B discusses the theory that aluminum can remain stored in the body for decades. The conversation covers bone storage, turnover, and how heavy metals may continue circulating over time.
- The team discusses the “mistaken identity” theory sometimes explored in autoimmune disease discussions — the idea that the immune system may react to tissues that resemble environmental toxins or infections.
- Kelly shares her personal experience of significant skin improvement after addressing molds, metals, and chemicals as part of her protocol.
The episode emphasizes that outcomes vary significantly between individuals. Any treatment decisions should involve a qualified medical provider.
