  • 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.

The Truth About Bone Density Tests & Fracture Risk | Dr. John Neustadt Explains
Q: Which supplements have been shown to improve bone density or reduce fractures in trials?
Calcium, vitamin D, MK4 (vitamin K2), and strontium have shown the strongest evidence; MK7 has limited evidence for fracture reduction, whereas MK4 has robust data showing reduced fractures and improved density in postmenopausal women.
The Truth About Bone Density Tests & Fracture Risk | Dr. John Neustadt Explains
Q: From your perspective, what foods do you recommend to help reverse or improve osteoporosis status?
The Mediterranean dietary pattern is the healthiest for bone health, emphasizing plant-forward, whole foods with lean proteins; overall, there is strong epidemiological support linking this pattern to reduced osteoporosis and hip fracture risk.
Colorectal Cancer Rising in Young Adults: Early Warning Signs & Prevention
Q: What are the early signs of colorectal cancer in younger patients and when should one seek a colonoscopy?
Early signs can include rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, weight loss, and changes in stool shape, but many younger patients may not have symptoms; screening generally starts at 45 for asymptomatic individuals, and a colonoscopy is warranted if symptoms appear or if there is concerning family history.
Healing Trauma to Heal Autoimmune Disease: HSPs, Narcissistic Relationships & Ketamine-Assisted Therapy with Maria Lloyd
Q: How do attachment styles and hypervigilance influence the management of autoimmune diseases, and what can patients do about it?
The guest discusses that attachment history shapes nervous system regulation and that understanding one's attachment style can reduce shame. Practices like establishing soothing routines, mindful movement, breathwork, and seeking secure supportive relationships help create safety and predictability, which in turn lessen pain flare-ups and improve overall well-being.
Healing Trauma to Heal Autoimmune Disease: HSPs, Narcissistic Relationships & Ketamine-Assisted Therapy with Maria Lloyd
Q: What is ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and how can it help someone with autoimmune-related mental health challenges?
Maria explains that ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is a powerful modality that can rapidly reach and resolve stuck patterns by reconnecting patients with their bodies, reducing dissociation, and creating a felt sense of safety and attachment that enables processing trauma and pain. It can help both mental health symptoms and physical pain in autoimmune conditions by addressing deeper root causes.
