Episode 70: Autoimmune Disorders - There's Hope! With Dr. Rafael Gonzalez and Dr. Keith March

Power On Your Plate

Haylie Pomroy is joined by her guests, biochemist and cell expert Dr. Rafael Gonzalez and cardiologist Dr. Keith March, to discuss the science behind autoimmune disorders and how stem cell therapy could be the future of treatment for patients with autoimmunity. They also tackle the details of an ongoing clinical study on the effectivity of umbilical cord-lining stem cells as a treatment for polymyositis and dermatomyositis. For the members of the Fast Metabolism Diet community, if you fit the qualifications for this study, don’t hesitate to reach out (contact details are provided below).
