I made this channel because millions of people are suffering with chronic neurological and metabolic problems like autoimmune conditions, diabetes, hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's, and vertigo/dizziness/balance problems. These men, women and children need someone they can trust to keep up to date with current research and scientific findings...and make this complex information easy to understand and use.
You can expect videos covering these topics (among others):
• Hashimoto's and Low Thyroid/Hypothyroidism
• Autoimmune conditions (ANA antibodies, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Mixed Connective Tissue Disease)
• Long COVID, Post COVID Autoimmunity
• Neurodevelopmental Problems (Autism Spectrum Disorders, Seizures)
• Vertigo, Meniere's Disease and other vestibular, dizziness and balance problem
• Neurodegeneration (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's Disease)
• Celiac Disease, Gluten Sensitivity, Non-Celiac Wheat Sensitivity
