Creating a Multi-dimensional Approach to Healing with Dr. Nauman Naeem

Join us for a delightful chat with Dr. Nauman Naeem about his passion for improving lives by changing the way we look at and create healing outcomes. As a pulmonary and critical care specialist, caring for tens of thousands of chronically and critically ill patients over his career, he noticed that the majority of patients do not heal and remain trapped in the paradigm of chronic disease.

Motivated to dive deeper into the roots of true healing, he made it his mission to understand human behavior and how we achieve our highest potential. To achieve this, he pursued a thorough study of ancient healing traditions, the psychology of healing, consciousness, and metaphysics which has culminated in his popular book ‘Healing From The Inside Out: Overcome Chronic Disease and Radically Change Your Life.’

In this episode of The Autoimmune Hour, Dr. Naeem shares that there is more to healing than the physical body, plus
• Ways to take healing to a higher level
• How unraveling the story around your illness can speed healing
• That there are no negative emotions and the power of emotion to heal
• The importance of setting an intention to heal and the role each discipline of medicine
And so much more….

Dr. Nauman Naeem serves his medical practice in Ontario, Canada with the goal of bridging conventional medicine with a more holistic multi-dimensional approach to healing.

Food Sensitivities, Inflammation, and the Autoimmune Connection

A delightful chat with Dr. Elizabeth Yarnell about her mission and methods to improve lives simply by changing the way we think about food and anti-inflammatory diets. As a board-certified naturopath and designer of customized anti-inflammatory diets, Dr. Yarnell runs a nationwide food therapy clinic to help people discover the specific foods that not only taste good but make them feel good, too.

A 1999 diagnosis of multiple sclerosis forced Dr. Yarnell to re-think everything she thought she knew about health and inspired the now-patented invention of a quick and easy method for cooking whole foods that she introduced in her 2009 best-selling cookbook: “Glorious One-Pot Meals: A Revolutionary New Quick and Healthy Approach to Dutch Oven Cooking.” In 2011, she launched the “Fight MS with Food” project to investigate the connection between diet and autoimmune symptoms. In this episode Dr. Yarnell shares some of what she discovered, for example:

~ Causes of inflammation and how to minimize it
~ What are food sensitivities and how you can become allergic to food
~ The gold-standard test for finding food allergies
~ The connection between diet and autoimmune symptoms
~ Other things that can cause inflammation besides food
~ What is ‘Dutch Oven Cooking, plus so much more…
