KARLY MCMASTER, ND While the standard of care following a diagnosis of celiac disease (CD) is to prescribe a gluten-free diet (GFD), the recommended long-term management and monitoring of the condition is poorly understood. Too often, patients with CD...
TANYA LEE, ND The circadian system is a powerful regulatory system that guides the physiology of living organisms through synchronizing physiological processes to the external environment. This system of ultimate homeostatic regulation has evolved over time and...
KERI LAYTON, ND Every generation of naturopathic doctors decries the rising generation as an erosion of true naturopathy. Let me settle into my rocking chair and confess: I’m no better. While I lament the opportunity lost by older NDs who have dodged...
MICHAËL FRIEDMAN, ND Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neuroinflammatory and demyelinating disorder increasingly linked to gut dysbiosis and immune dysregulation. Research shows that the gut microbiome shapes microglial maturation, blood–brain...
JAKE F. FELICE, ND, LMP Autoimmune conditions and diseases of the nervous system are typically chronic, often have an early age of onset, and frequently cause significant pain, debility, and suffering. Autoimmunity is an...
CATHERINE CLINTON, ND Abstract Autoimmune diseases, now affecting over 23 million Americans, are closely linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired regulatory T cell (Treg) activity. Mitochondria influence both innate and adaptive immunity, with mitochondrial...
