Has anyone of you been experiencing symptoms of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)?

If yes, it is important to discuss them with your doctor. POTS is a type of dysautonomia that affects the autonomic nervous system, which controls functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion. In POTS, an abnormal increase in heart rate upon standing up triggers symptoms like lightheadedness, dizziness, and fainting. POTS can be triggered by various factors, including standing up too quickly and exercising; being in a warm environment; certain medications (such as decongestants); and certain medical conditions (such as pregnancy or anemia).

POTS can be triggered by certain vaccines, such as the COVID vaccine, but can also be triggered by COVID itself. POTS is associated with MCAS and Ehlers-Danlos. It can also be associated with other autoimmune diseases as well. Certain viruses, like EBV, can also be a trigger for POTS.

POTS can be treated using medications and supplements, making lifestyle changes such as changing your diet, and performing physical therapy exercises.

Listen, I get it. You are scared of lectins. The idea that lectins are bad for you is all over the internet. But did you know that beans are full of fiber and protein? Most lectins get killed off if you cook them at high heat, and soaking them helps as well. Beans—soybeans, black beans, kidney beans, and red beans—are a highly versatile food that contributes a significant amount of protein to your diet. Beans are great for people with meat allergies as well because they contain both protein and fiber.

I eat beans, and it doesn't make me flare. I have patients who also eat beans with chronic illnesses and don't flare. You may possibly do worse on legumes; it's possible, but I wouldn't give them up automatically without trying them yourself.

Beans are a nutritious and low-fat source of protein, fiber, and a variety of vitamins and minerals.

The question is... Do you eat and enjoy beans?

It's not just what you put in your body that matters, but also what you take out.

Your immune system is made up of a complex network of cells and molecules that work together to protect your body from infection. The largest part of this network is located in your gut—a whopping 60–70 % of your immune system!

The key to keeping this system working properly is to feed it the right foods , which means avoiding things like artificial sweeteners and preservatives, as well as processed foods. These can cause inflammation throughout your whole body, which can lead to chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

So what should you be eating? Learn more here: https://www.drlifestyle.org/blog/

Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a role in many bodily functions, including the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats; the maintenance of normal muscle and nerve function; the support of a healthy immune system; and the maintenance of healthy bones. Magnesium is also involved in energy production and is necessary for the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and the antioxidant glutathione.

There are many sources of magnesium, including:

🥜 Nuts and seeds: Almonds, pumpkin seeds, and cashews are rich in magnesium.

🌾 Whole grains: whole grains like whole wheat, oats, and brown rice are a good source of magnesium.

🐟 Fish: Fish like salmon, mackerel, and halibut are good sources of magnesium.

🍫 Dark chocolate: Dark chocolate is a good source of magnesium, but it should be consumed in moderation due to its high sugar and fat content

And many more!

It is important to consume a varied diet that includes these and other sources of magnesium to ensure adequate intake of this important mineral.

What's your favorite source of magnesium? Please comment below and let us know.

Dermatomyositis is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes muscle weakness and a distinctive skin rash. The rash is often purplish or reddish in color and appears symmetrically on the face, neck, and upper chest. It can also appear on the back, elbows, knees, and knuckles. The skin may be swollen or tender, and may blister or peel.

In addition to the skin rash, dermatomyositis can also cause muscle weakness, particularly in the proximal muscles (those closest to the center of the body, such as the hips, shoulders, and neck). This muscle weakness can lead to difficulty with activities such as lifting, climbing stairs, and rising from a seated position.

Dermatomyositis can also cause other symptoms, such as difficulty swallowing, shortness of breath, fatigue, and fever. The exact cause of dermatomyositis is not fully understood, but it is believed to be an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues.

Dermatomyositis is typically diagnosed based on the presence of the characteristic skin rash and muscle weakness, as well as blood tests and other diagnostic tests. Treatment for dermatomyositis may include medications to suppress the immune system, physical therapy to help improve muscle strength, and skin care to manage the rash.

Psoriasis is an immune mediated skin condition that can be itchy and painful.

Some common psoriasis signs and symptoms include:

👉 Skin patches that are red and covered in silvery scales
👉 Skin that is dry and cracked and may bleed
👉 Itching, burning, or skin soreness
👉 Thick, pitted nails
👉 Swollen and stiff joints

Psoriasis is a non-contagious, inflammatory skin condition. The severity of psoriasis symptoms varies greatly between individuals. Some people have a few small patches of psoriasis, while others have large, widespread patches that cover a large portion of their body. Psoriasis symptoms can also come and go, with periods of remission interspersed with flare-ups.

There are studies showing that lifestyle modifications do help with improvement of skin symptoms. There are multiple studies showing a high BMI can lead to increased risk of psoriasis.

What do you think of Psoriasis? Do you have any questions?
