Inflammation and Vitiligo with Lisa Jackson, RN, of Vanishing Vitiligo

I loved speaking with Elizabeth Yarnell and learning how her illness led her to become the Inflammation Investigator and how she is helping others to do the same. Here she interviews me. s1e71 The Inflammation Investigator Elizabeth Yarnell welcomes Lisa Jackson, RN, to share her perspective on managing both vitiligo and cancer, exploring functional medicine approaches to autoimmune diseases. They discuss misconceptions, symptoms, and social impacts, emphasizing the importance of addressing root causes of inflammation. Lisa outlines the Vanishing Vitiligo program and touches on sun exposure, vitamin deficiencies, and managing autoimmune diseases. A family case study highlights healing through functional medicine by eliminating ultra-processed foods. Lisa shares her transition from vitiligo to cancer treatment, identifying health interferences, and moving from fear to faith in healing. Key Points: Vitiligo, an autoimmune disease that causes depigmentation of the skin, can be put into remission by addressing underlying inflammation and root causes. Functional medicine testing helps identify hidden triggers like mycotoxins, heavy metals, and gut issues that contribute to autoimmune diseases and cancer. Healing from autoimmune conditions involves a combination of dietary changes, stress management, clean living, and personalized functional medicine approaches.
