Lupus is often called “the great imitator” because it can affect nearly every organ and mimic many other conditions. While a lupus diagnosis can feel overwhelming, there is real hope: with early diagnosis, personalized treatment, and holistic care, many people living with lupus experience long periods of remission and lead full, active lives. At UnabridgedMD, we blend modern medicine with mind-body healing, supporting you every step of the way.

Not all joint pain is created equal. From osteoarthritis to inflammatory and crystal arthritis, understanding the unique patterns behind your symptoms is key to finding real relief. In this post, Dr. Isabelle Amigues explains how to spot the differences between common arthritis types—and why the right diagnosis matters for your long-term joint health.

When living with chronic illness or autoimmune disease, true healing often starts in the mind. Shifting your mindset can open new doors to remission, self-compassion, and lasting wellness—beyond just medications and lab results.

On a recent podcast, Dr. Amigues and Dr. Michael Benoit discussed how lifestyle changes—exercise, diet, and sleep—are key to optimizing longevity. Dr. Benoit emphasized that while medications matter, these habits are the foundation for extending lifespan and improving health span—the years we live vibrant and disease-free.
