In this episode Dr. Snyder explains both of them. One of them most people have never heard of, and it’s one of the fastest things she treats. Another explains the women who can tell you precisely when the panic started, down to the month, and it lines up with a prescription they were handed for something else entirely.

We get into the two things most women are handed instead, which is birth control and an antidepressant. I wrote a whole chapter about this in my new book. It’s the diagnosis that sounds like an answer. There’s a prescription, the appointment ends, everyone feels like something happened. Nothing was treated.

What We explain in this episode is the difference between having a gene and turning it on. Every cell in your body carries the same DNA, but a heart cell and an eye cell act nothing alike, because different genes are switched on in each one.

We get into what a real autoimmune intake should ask, from your water filter to your job to what happened in your childhood. She also points out that vitamin D matters enormously in autoimmune disease, it's all over the literature and even on the board exams, and she almost never sees a patient show up with it tested.
