In this episode of the Thyroid Pharmacist Healing Conversations podcast, Dr. Izabella Wentz shares her personal journey and professional insights on the potential links between parasitic infections and autoimmune conditions, specifically focusing on Hashimoto’s, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and chronic hives.
Dr. Wentz discusses the “three-legged stool of autoimmunity” theory proposed by Dr. Alessio Fasano, which suggests that for an autoimmune condition to develop, three factors must be present: genetic predisposition, an environmental trigger, and intestinal permeability (or leaky gut). She then delves into how addressing these components can lead to symptom relief and even remission.
Listeners will hear about her own healing journey, as well as a particular protozoa, Blastocystis hominis, she uncovered in a large percentage of her clients with Hashimoto’s, using functional medicine stool tests. She gets into the research behind this protozoa.
Dr. Wentz’s mission is to help empower people through advocating the importance of individualized care, understanding your body, and encouraging listeners to be proactive health detectives in their own journeys.
