The Post-2021 Autoimmune Surge Nobody Wants to Talk About | Dr. Leland Stillman

On the Evolving Wellness podcast, host Sarah Kleiner interviews Dr. Leland Stillman (general internist; Substack Dr. Stillman Uncensored) about leaving conventional medicine, speaking out on COVID and vaccines, and building a practice largely serving autoimmune, chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia, long COVID, and reported vaccine-injury patients; he says many symptoms cluster around pain, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and depression. Stillman argues lab values can fluctuate widely (often ~20% day to day, sometimes far more), making single readings, thyroid-replacement strategies based on free T3, and AI-generated direct-to-consumer lab reports misleading; he cites reference-range issues (e.g., cholesterol cutoffs) and emphasizes repeat testing and clinical context. He discusses his book The End of Autoimmunity, reporting a 2025 survey of 103 patients with self-reported gains in wellbeing, energy, sleep, and cognition, and outlines a “14 Day Reset” centered on morning sunlight, walking, hydration, earlier bedtime, and dimming lights. Names mentioned include Dr. Anna Maria Temple, Chris Exley, Catherine Austin Fitts, Del Bigtree, Brian Johnson, Neil Stone, Jack Dorsey, Glenn Jeffrey, and Dr. Tina, alongside brands VivaRays and Boncharge.— Links Mentioned in the video: https://store.stillmanmd.com/discount/SARAHKLEINER?ref=SARAHKhttps://stillmanmd.com/autoimmunity/https://x.com/StillmanMD?mx=2 https://www.instagram.com/stillmanmd/  https://drstillmanuncensored.com/ _________Sponsored By:→ VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/→ Bon Charge | Go to https://boncharge.com/products/demi-red-light-device?rfsn=8108115.26608d & use code SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide._________Timestamp:00:00 Coming up00:50 Podcast Intro Disclaimer02:04 Meet Dr Stillman04:02 COVID Skeptic To Autoimmunity Practice09:32 Host Vaccine Mandate Story12:19 Vaccine Injury Autoimmunity Debate26:27 Lab Variability And AI Reports34:50 Deplatforming and Scams35:53 COVID Censorship and 5G37:41 Controlled Opposition Online38:38 Thriving Outside the Narrative42:28 Healing Framework That Works53:51 14 Day Reset Needle Movers01:03:08 Community Resilience and Wrap Up——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional!________________________________________Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey!https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resourcesCheck out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!
