Why Are Autoimmune Diseases Skyrocketing? Let’s Talk About the Immune System Over the past 25 years in practice, I’ve watched something quite remarkable—and concerning—happen. The number of people being diagnosed with autoimmune conditions, including multiple sclerosis (MS), has absolutely skyrocketed. And after living with MS myself for over 40 years, and working with thousands of people, I keep coming back to one very important question: Why are autoimmune diseases increasi

The Healing Power of Laughter Many years ago, early in my practice, I remember sitting quietly with a woman who lived every day with a painful autoimmune condition — not multiple sclerosis, but similar. She had been doing the foundational work of healing: building steady routines around diet, supplements, and supportive therapies. She had come a long way. But whenever her stress increased — even slightly — her pain would speak in volumes. One day, she mentioned that she had s
