  • Insightful, Respectful, and Deeply Informative

    It was a pleasure to join Dr. Micah Yu on Autoimmune Alchemy. He asked thoughtful and well-informed questions and created a clear, respectful space to explore the complexity of chronic illness, toxic load, MCAS, and the mind-body-spirit connection. I appreciated his genuine curiosity and his dedication to helping listeners understand both the science and lived experience of these conditions. A meaningful and informative conversation with a thoughtful host.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pediatric Rheumatologist Diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis: Dr. Saimun Singla's Story
Q: What are the main considerations when treating a child versus an adult with inflammatory arthritis?
Treatment must be tailored to growth, development, joint involvement, and the child's ability to swallow or tolerate medications, with careful attention to school and activity levels to balance disease control and quality of life.
Pediatric Rheumatologist Diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis: Dr. Saimun Singla's Story
Q: How is juvenile arthritis different from rheumatoid arthritis in adults?
Juvenile arthritis is an umbrella term with several subtypes; it may transition into adult-like RA as patients age, and the disease activity and joint involvement patterns drive different treatment approaches across ages.
East vs. West Medicine: How a Rheumatologist Uses Herbs & Acupuncture to Treat Autoimmune Disease
Q: Can you talk about the role of fasting in your practice and any safety considerations?
Therapeutic fasting can induce ketosis and may favorably shift the gut microbiome, but it is highly individualized in duration and intensity, with careful monitoring and electrolyte management to ensure safety, especially in patients with comorbidities.
East vs. West Medicine: How a Rheumatologist Uses Herbs & Acupuncture to Treat Autoimmune Disease
Q: What anti-inflammatory dietary approach do you favor for your patients?
I favor a low-carb, low-grain, low-starch approach for spondyloarthritis and related conditions, while recognizing that diet should be individualized based on patient motivation, tolerances, and the specific rheumatic diagnosis.
East vs. West Medicine: How a Rheumatologist Uses Herbs & Acupuncture to Treat Autoimmune Disease
Q: How do you decide when a patient needs rheumatology drugs versus herbs and acupuncture, or should you combine them?
In many cases, early in disease or during a golden window, we can prioritize lifestyle, diet, and herbal approaches to delay or reduce medication use, but we tailor decisions to each patient's response, disease severity, and tolerance, often using shared decision-making.
