In this episode of Functional Medicine with Dr. Howard Robins, we take a deep dive into rheumatoid arthritis (RA)—a serious autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, causing inflammation, cartilage breakdown, bone damage, stiffness, swelling, and chronic pain.Dr. Robins explains why rheumatoid arthritis is not just “wear and tear” arthritis, but a whole-body immune disorder that can severely damage joints and affect quality of life. He discusses how repairing the gut, reducing inflammation, improving nutrition, and using intravenous ozone therapy may help stop progression and, in his clinical experience, even eliminate the condition.This episode covers: • What rheumatoid arthritis really is • Why it can become severe and life-altering • How gut health may play a major role • Why all ozone therapy is not the same • The difference between temporary relief and true recovery • Food, supplements, exercise, and supportive therapies that may help👉 Subscribe to learn from Dr. Howard Robins—combining functional medicine, ozone therapy, and decades of clinical expertise to help restore health naturally. @DoctorHowardRobins

called lupus—a serious autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues.Unlike some autoimmune conditions that primarily affect one area, lupus can impact many organs at once, including the joints, muscles, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, brain, nervous system, and blood cells. Symptoms can be unpredictable, flare suddenly, and then go into remission, making lupus difficult to diagnose and manage.Dr. Robins explains that while the exact cause of lupus is still unknown, there are safe, effective, and natural ways to help control it—and, in his clinical experience, even help eliminate it. This episode explores how intravenous ozone therapy, targeted nutrition, gut repair, anti-inflammatory foods, and key supplements may support the body in restoring balance and reducing flare-ups.You’ll learn about: • What lupus is and why it can affect so many systems • Why diagnosis is often difficult • The role of immune dysfunction and inflammation • How ozone therapy may help address root contributors • Why gut health is essential in autoimmune disease • Foods, supplements, and lifestyle strategies that may help you get your life back👉 Subscribe to learn from Dr. Howard Robins—combining functional medicine, ozone therapy, and decades of clinical expertise to help restore health naturally. ‪@DoctorHowardRobins‬

In this episode of Functional Medicine with Dr. Howard Robins, we cover sinus problems and sinusitis—why they become chronic, what actually causes them, and how to treat them safely and effectively using a functional medicine approach.Dr. Robins explains what sinusitis is: inflammation and swelling of the tissue lining the sinuses, which can block normal mucus drainage and lead to pressure, pain, congestion, and recurring infections. He breaks down the real causes—beyond just bacteria—including viruses, fungus, yeast, mold, allergies, and environmental triggers like cigarette smoke and pollution.You’ll learn why many people stay stuck in cycles of sinus infections, what to do when symptoms become chronic or recurrent, and how to support recovery through immune support, gut health, and ozone-based approaches.👉 Subscribe to learn from Dr. Howard Robins—combining functional medicine, ozone therapy, and decades of clinical expertise to help restore health naturally. @DoctorHowardRobins

In this episode of Functional Medicine with Dr. Howard Robins, we take a closer look at Sickle Cell Disease—a serious genetic blood disorder that affects oxygen delivery throughout the body.Sickle cell disease causes red blood cells to become rigid and crescent-shaped, restricting circulation and leading to pain crises, organ damage, infections, and long-term complications. Because oxygen delivery is impaired, many symptoms stem from chronic oxygen deficiency and inflammation.Dr. Robins explains: • What sickle cell disease is and how it develops • Why oxygen transport is central to understanding the condition • How impaired circulation contributes to complications • The inflammatory and vascular components involved • Natural strategies that may support circulation and cellular oxygenationThis episode provides insight into the root mechanisms behind sickle cell disease and explores supportive approaches through functional medicine principles.👉 Subscribe to learn from Dr. Howard Robins—combining functional medicine, ozone therapy, and decades of clinical expertise to help restore health naturally. ‪@DoctorHowardRobins‬

In this episode of Functional Medicine with Dr. Howard Robins, we discuss how to grow or regrow your hair naturally, safely, and effectively—regardless of the underlying cause of hair loss.Hair loss may occur due to genetics, poor circulation to the scalp, hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, or medical conditions. As Dr. Robins explains, the cause matters less than the solution—because there are proven natural strategies that can restore hair growth and improve scalp health when the body is supported correctly.This episode explains what you need to do, support, and correct to create the right environment for healthy hair growth, focusing on circulation, inflammation, oxygen delivery, and overall systemic health.If you’re experiencing thinning hair, hair loss, or want to improve hair quality naturally, this episode provides clear, practical guidance.👉 Subscribe to learn from Dr. Howard Robins—combining functional medicine, ozone therapy, and decades of clinical expertise to help restore health naturally. @DoctorHowardRobins

In this episode of Functional Medicine with Dr. Howard Robins, we address one of the most serious health challenges today: heart disease, heart attacks, and heart failure—and how these conditions can be prevented, treated, and even reversed naturally.Heart disease is a broad term covering conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, most commonly caused by plaque buildup (atherosclerosis) that narrows arteries and restricts blood flow. This process can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure. A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is suddenly blocked, usually by a blood clot. Heart failure develops when the heart muscle becomes weakened or stiff and can no longer pump enough oxygen-rich blood to meet the body’s needs—causing symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling.Dr. Robins explains the root causes behind cardiovascular disease, why conventional approaches often focus only on symptoms, and how functional medicine strategies can safely and effectively support heart health. This episode covers prevention-first strategies as well as natural treatment approaches designed to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and support long-term cardiovascular function.👉 Subscribe to learn from Dr. Howard Robins—combining functional medicine, ozone therapy, and decades of clinical expertise to help restore health naturally. ⁨@DoctorHowardRobins⁩
