My Psoriatic Arthritis Story

Dr. Guggenheim is on a mission to prevent and reverse autoimmune conditions

I am intimately aware of the importance of altered gut flora because I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis in 2007. I suffered with disabling pain in every joint and was put on Methotrexate and prednisone for several months.  

How did I reverse my psoriatic arthritis?

I ran labs that clearly identified off the chart levels of Epstein-Barr and Mycoplasma pneumonia. These rampant infections set off the genes linked to psoriatic arthritis. From that point forward, I made it my mission to prevent and reverse autoimmune diseases for others. Within a matter of weeks I was off the Methotrexate and all other medications because I was able to manipulate my gut flora with the beginnings of what would later become my probiotic product - GOOD GUT.

"I remember my C-reactive proteins went through the roof, my thyroid produced thousands of autoantibodies giving me a new diagnosis of Hashimoto's, immune panels were completely distorted and I had pain everywhere in my body. Until I figured out a way to treat my altered gut flora with an army of good probiotics, immunoglobulins and fuel for my intestinal immune system, I would have ended up like all the other patients in the waiting room at the rheumatologist's office completely disabled and wheelchair bound."

GOOD GUT was born out of personal necessity and my mission is to prevent and reverse chronic disease. Gut flora can become altered in everyone under the right circumstances which can cause "the perfect storm" of disease. Everyone of all ages and at any stage in life can benefit from GOOD GUT flora. Today, I perform high intensity exercise every day for 1.5 hours with no pain and ride my bike for 35-73 miles every Sunday.

At Second Nature, we test every patient with a comprehensive microbiome analysis to identify preliminary and on-going disease. We individualize treatments, but everyone takes GOOD GUT Probiotics, Immune, Repair and Detox. Many have reversed their clinical presentation in a matter of weeks. Of course, we highly recommend GOOD GUT products to prevent and reverse your chronic disease. Contact us to order today!
