Good Morning!

Most people know that addressing the root cause of a health condition is ideal. However, this often requires time, energy, money, and support, which isn’t always available. Sometimes, medications are necessary to manage severe pain or life-threatening symptoms, allowing people to focus on lifestyle changes—like exercising more and reducing stress—later.

This is where integrative medicine comes in—blending holistic and conventional approaches to find the best results for each individual. Even when medications are necessary, the goal is to use options that cause the least harm and offer the most benefit. Otherwise medication can sometimes undermine lifestyle changes, by reducing balance, causing fatigue, or contributing to weight gain. Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) may be one such option for people suffering from severe pain or disabilities related to autoimmune or inflammatory diseases.Though currently only FDA-approved for opioid and alcohol addiction, LDN is gaining attention for its potential benefits at lower doses, though large-scale studies are lacking.

This week, reporter Sheramy Tsai interviews Linda Elsgood, a mother of two caring for her parents who was diagnosed with MS. Conventional medicine failed her, but after discovering LDN online, she felt better within weeks. Now, she’s advocating for more research and access to this affordable, $1-a-day treatment, available through some functional or naturopathic doctors and compounding pharmacies. If you’re struggling with severe symptoms, LDN might be worth discussing with your doctor.

Wishing you optimal health and wellness!
