Author: Jonathan Otto January 7, 2020 Duration: 51:24
Hippocrates, the founder of modern medicine said “let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”. Coming out of the military, with dreams of becoming an astronaut, her life came to a halt at 27 when she was diagnosed with Lupus. Michelle Irwin (author, raw food chef and cooking instructor for the NEWSTART Lifestyle Program at the Weimar Institute, licensed holistic health practitioner, certified lymphologist) understands first hand the importance of healing through diet. By making radical changes - literally overnight, Michelle was able to heal completely. She speaks to us today in this exclusive, fully recovered...an autoimmune conqueror! She has boiled down the foundation of health to three things, which she teaches her cooking students. Listen as she shares her unwavering faith, her knowledge of food chemistry and the healthy lifestyle secrets she swears by. Jonathan Otto from Health Secret interviewed Michelle Irwin about Conquering Lupus.

Navigating a diagnosis like lupus, multiple sclerosis, or rheumatoid arthritis often comes with a heavy set of terms: chronic condition, lifelong medication, a higher risk for additional disorders. It’s a landscape that can feel fixed and frightening. Health Secrets Podcast, hosted by Jonathan Otto, steps into this space with a different perspective. Instead of accepting a predetermined narrative, this series engages directly with medical professionals, researchers, and individuals who have explored the root causes and often overlooked connections behind autoimmune and other health challenges. Each conversation is built on the premise that understanding the underlying mechanisms-from gut health and environmental triggers to metabolic function-can open doors to more personalized management and genuine hope. You’ll hear detailed discussions that go beyond surface-level advice, delving into the science and real-world applications of integrative and functional medicine. This isn't about quick fixes; it's about building a deeper comprehension of how the body works and why it sometimes goes awry. Tune in for a podcast that treats your health curiosity with the seriousness it deserves, offering nuanced insights that empower you to have more informed conversations about your own well-being or that of someone you care about.
