Transform With Dr. Maggie Yu

Dr. Maggie Yu is speaking with Leslie Savage today. She is a registered nurse who has struggled with rheumatoid arthritis and hormonal issues, but is now in her final week of Dr. Yu’s Transform Autoimmune Disease Naturally program. Leslie has had to deal with a lot of pain issues. She was going to her chiropractor three to four times a week just to be able to keep working her job. After being referred to a rheumatologist, she was diagnosed with RA. Leslie was offered medication that would suppress her immune system, but because of the many germs in her workplace, she opted to not take them. She felt like this was going to be a career-ending diagnosis. Every day, Leslie would dread going to work because even something as simple as writing was difficult for her. During the first week of being enrolled in Dr. Yu’s program, Leslie was already feeling better. She regained the ability to sleep and her gut issues were already starting to clear up because of the dietary changes that were recommended to her. By week f

Elaine has just graduated from Dr. Maggie’s eight-week online program that transforms autoimmune disease naturally. The past year has been a terrible downward spiral for Elaine’s health. It all began about two and a half years ago when she began the onset of sciatica and back pain, which then grew into a whole different creature. An MRI showed Elaine that she had some spinal issues, but no doctors could figure out the pain associated with them. She became bed ridden and her pain soon spread to her entire body. She went to Johns Hopkins Hospital, one of the most renowned in the world, but even that team of skilled doctors could not figure out Elaine’s issues. Having gone through the program, Elaine is now capable of determining the cause-and-effect relationships that the doctors could not. The program identified that she had severe hormone imbalances along with some vitamin issues, as well as not actually having the gut problems she thought she did. Elaine talks about how she had to change her mindset to break

Kate Byars is here to talk about her son, Eli, going through the Transform Autoimmune Disease Naturally program. Eli started showing symptoms of PANDAS about a year ago, and after a bit of a journey, Kate eventually found Dr. Yu because he wasn’t getting the help that he needed from regular doctors. Dr. Yu inquires about what life was like for Kate and her family a year ago. Kate recalls that before she ever saw the ticks of PANDAS in Eli, she saw the behavior without realizing it was a sign of the disease. Kate admits that she was dismissive about the behavior, attributing it to Eli just being a temperamental little boy. He would have trouble self-regulating his anger, being unable to get rid of it. The more it escalated, the more difficult it was for the family to deal with. After noticing ticks, Kate took Eli to a local pediatrician who works with a lot of children with PANDAS and is known for her success with them. The doctor said to give Eli some fish oil and vitamin D, and provided a prescription for an

Today’s topic is brain fog. Brain fog is a serious issue in autoimmune disease, and its impact is devastating. There’s also a focus on the link between ADD/ADHD and autoimmune disease. Dawn is welcomed to this episode to discuss how these have affected her life and what the program has done for her. Dawn is a recent graduate of Dr. Maggie Yu’s program and has four children aged sixteen to twenty-two, three of which have ADD. When talking about the problems that she experienced before entering the program, Dawn says that she herself was diagnosed with ADD at the age of twenty-three. As she grew more, she was diagnosed with endometriosis, thyroid problems, and Hashimoto’s. Dawn’s marriage, life, and career were falling apart. She then received even more diagnoses, including chronic fatigue syndrome and lupus. Dr. Maggie asks Dawn how much of an impact brain fog had on her life, and Dawn immediately says it was horrible. Once upon a time she was able to stay on top of everything, but that turned into not b

Today we’re going to talk about thinking you’ve tried everything to cure autoimmune disease. When Dr. Yu has phone calls with people who want to join her eight-week program, they often feel this way. Jenna joins in on this episode because she felt the same way before graduating from Dr. Maggie’s natural healing program. Jenna has two kids and an intense job on top of dealing with autoimmune disease for the past ten years. She has been diagnosed with celiac disease, Hashimoto’s, Lyme disease, and more. Prior to joining the program, Jenna says that she was extremely fatigued all the time. She was totally overwhelmed with life and was barely making it through her days. Dr. Yu instructs Jenna to list everything she has tried to get over her autoimmune diseases. Jenna has done tons of testing, visited many different doctors, been on special diets, taken lots of various supplements, worked with a nutritionist in a group and one-on-one, and completed an online course. In hindsight, now having graduated from Dr. Magg

Today, Dr. Maggie Yu is interviewing Nimfa and Leon. When any autoimmune disease flares, it can be so life-threatening and debilitating that it presents a very hopeless situation. Nimfa and Leon were able to turn this around in just a matter of weeks, and they share their story about how they accomplished this. Nimfa and Leon start by sharing where they were before they started Dr. Yu’s program. Nimfa says that she was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis in 2016. She went through all the conventional treatments but still always had flares, the worst of which were last year and put her in the hospital three times. Leon says that every time Nimfa went to the hospital, her condition seemed to be getting worse. He shares how his daily life was regarding Nimfa, including making sure that she was able to get back and forth to the bathroom. They even had to put a toilet in their bedroom because it was so difficult for her. Leon also recalls how an allergic reaction that Nimfa experienced while in the hospital nea

A lot of us with autoimmune disease deal with debilitating anxiety and hormonal imbalances. Is there a systematic approach to this? Is it solvable? Our guest today, Chris, is here to talk about how those problems got solved for her. Chris has her phone call with Dr. Yu’s team about ten weeks ago and shares with us what led her to make this phone call. Chris introduces herself as a mother of two and a career woman. Looking back, she didn’t realize how one issue after another had compounded over many years. It started in her 20s when she had toxic shock, continued into her 30s when she had Epstein-Barr, and into her 40s when she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. She was at her wit’s end with visiting so many doctors and trying to figure out what was going on. She found Dr. Yu online, and saw that her approach was different than the other doctors she had seen. Chris decided to schedule a phone call with Dr. Yu, on which Chris asked, “am I ever going to feel better? Am I ever going to be the person that I was

Dr. Maggie Yu provides an eight-week online coaching program to transform autoimmune disease naturally, and Alisa is a recent graduate from that program. She is here today to talk about where she was before starting the program, what her outcomes have been, and what the process was like through this journey. Alisa introduces herself as a 41-year-old married mother of two kids. She started her health journey in 2002 when she was diagnosed with MS. It was a big shock, but thankfully, her symptoms were minimal. However, in 2005, Alisa was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease which was a big struggle for her. In the fall of last year, her doctors were recommending a bowel resection to avoid having to do an emergency one later. Alisa quickly agreed to the surgery and was expecting the outcome to be dramatic and life-changing, but it didn’t turn out how she had expected. Alisa talks about the struggle of her recovery and how it affected everything in her life. She did research and decided she needed something outside-the
