The Autoimmune Doc Podcast w/ Dr. Taylor Krick

My Youtube Channel I get to be involved with a lot of people's health journeys, and I think they are all super cool. I love puzzles and I love educating people on their puzzles, some of the missing pieces, or how some pieces might fit together differently than they had expected. Talking about these stories on this podcast helps you understand exactly what I do and how I help people trying to...

Get My 10 Steps of Autoimmune Eating Download HERE Watch my YouTube video on Autoimmune Paleo Protocol HERE This is a REALLY popular topic - because most people with autoimmunity notice a change in their symptoms with foods - but they don't know exactly what they should or should NOT be eating! I did forget to mention in this episode - this episode does skip the basics. You should avoid proce...

You may have heard the news, but gluten is not good, especially for autoimmune people. Gluten is obviously associated with Celiac Disease, which is relatively rare, but it's actually much more common to have NCGS, or Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, and gluten sensitivity can impact far more than just the gut and digestion. I hear about it all the time - people notice that eating gluten flares...

Food sensitivities are a known trigger of autoimmunity, just ask most autoimmune sufferers!  Gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, corn, other grains, food colorings, lectins, nightshades, gums....the list is long! Sometimes you feel it, sometimes you don't, but foods and additives in foods can lead to inflammation and autoimmune flares. Discovering and removing your triggers can lead to relief.  In this...

There are  a ton of "functional" labs out there today. In this podcast, I cover the most important labs for managing autoimmunity. If there is one takeaway from this episode, it is: FOCUS ON THE BASICS FIRST! So often someone brings me in a fancy methylation panel, hormone panel, or stool sample and they don't know their basics.  I divide these labs into 3 categories: 1. Basics - Ba...

View the products I mention at: www. AutoimmuneEducationAcademy.com There are TONS of supplements out there today, and they all have promising claims, but in my functional medicine practice I see people all the time who have been let down by supplements. Many of them bring bags of products in, and often they weren’t a bad idea, it might even be some things that I like to use often, but they are st...

Multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Autism, PANS/PANDAS....neurological autoimmunity is on the rise and it's NOT GOOD! In neurological autoimmunity, the immune system is "attacking" different parts of the brain or nerves, which if not detected or addressed, leads to progressive neurodegeneration. Neurodegeneration stems from neuroinflammation. Neuroinflammation s...

Autoimmunity can be classified as either Tissue-Specific or Systemic , and it makes a big difference! Tissue-Specific (or protein or enzyme-specific) means that autoimmunity is attacking a specific protein or enzyme that is expressed in a certain tissue - For example enzymes expressed in the thyroid, proteins in your brain, the digestive lining, or in connective tissue - that is TISSUE-SPECIFIC. I...

This is an important episode. When you understand what could be driving your autoimmunity, you have your solutions - STOP SCRATCHING! (listen to the episode if that doesn't make sense!) Many things have been associated with the onset or exacerbation of autoimmune disease, but this easy-to-understand concept (as originally taught by Dr. Tom Culleton DC) really simplifies The 5 Drivers of Autoi...

This episode talks about people with diagnosed autoimmune disease vs. POTENTIAL or UNDIAGNOSED autoimmunity - which is HUGE! So many people have a variety of undiagnosed symptoms, they are told all their labs look normal, they are the picture of health, but in reality they have underlying AUTOIMMUNE REACTIVITY in multiple tissues causing multiple different symptoms that doctors swear could not be...

Autoimmune disease doesn't just "happen", it takes time to develop. This development happens in 3 stages, and many people are in the early stages! Stage 1 - "Silent" Autoimmunity - self-tissue antibodies are present indicating an autoimmune process, but no symptoms are noticed yet. Stage 2 - Autoimmune Reactivity - antibodies are present and symptoms are occurring, but the...

Welcome to the Autoimmune Doc Podcast! This episode is pretty basic, it's an introduction to Dr. Taylor and an introduction to the podcast, giving some background and some insight into the purpose and intention of this podcast.  Autoimmunity is rampant today, more and more people are being diagnosed (and at a younger age!), and many more people are suffering unknowingly.  Dr. Taylor Krick is...

What exactly IS autoimmune disease? Is it a big problem? Who gets it? What are the most common autoimmune diseases?  In this episode Dr. Taylor covers the basics of autoimmunity - what it means, some of the statistics, and gives a basic foundation for understanding autoimmune disease and autoimmune reactivity.
