Dr. Ashley Capps Unveils Premium Autoimmune Rebalance System: A Groundbreaking Approach to Autoimmune Recovery Through Trauma-Informed Healing
Dr. Ashley Capps announces the launch of her Autoimmune Rebalance System, offering a premium, trauma-informed healing approach for women to address autoimmune symptoms at their root causes.
United States, June 16, 2025 -- Dr. Ashley Capps Introduces a Revolutionary Autoimmune Recovery System Focused on Trauma and Stress
In an unconventional move that is redefining autoimmune disease recovery, Dr. Ashley Capps, a behavioral health doctor and licensed mental health therapist, has launched the Autoimmune Rebalance System. This premium, trauma-informed program is designed specifically to help women tackle the root causes of autoimmune diseases by focusing on the often-overlooked contributors of chronic stress, unresolved trauma, and nervous system dysregulation.
Dr. Capps' approach challenges the traditional medical model, which often isolates the physical and mental aspects of health. By incorporating modern psychoneuroimmunology research, Dr. Capps provides a comprehensive, holistic framework for autoimmune recovery. This innovative program emphasizes the mind-body connection as a central pillar of healing, offering a more sustainable and integrated solution for those suffering from autoimmune conditions.
The Trauma-Informed Approach to Autoimmune Recovery
Unlike conventional programs that primarily focus on symptom management through diet, medications, or supplements, Dr. Capps' Autoimmune Rebalance System integrates trauma recovery at its core. By addressing the mental, emotional, and neurological influences on immune system function, Dr. Capps offers a comprehensive healing process that goes far beyond symptom suppression.
'Chronic stress and unresolved trauma have been shown to trigger immune dysfunction, and for many women, this often goes unaddressed in traditional medical care,' says Dr. Capps. 'We need to approach autoimmune disease recovery with a full understanding of how trauma impacts the body. It's not enough to simply treat the symptoms—we need to focus on healing the underlying emotional and psychological triggers that fuel autoimmune flare-ups.'
The Autoimmune Rebalance System provides participants with the tools to regulate their nervous system, heal from past trauma, and manage the chronic stress that often leads to autoimmune dysfunction. This integrated approach empowers individuals to break free from the cycle of symptom management and instead focus on lasting recovery.
How the Autoimmune Rebalance System Works: A Comprehensive and Compassionate Framework
The Autoimmune Rebalance System is grounded in the principles of psychoneuroimmunology, which studies the relationship between the nervous system, immune system, and endocrine system. This premium program combines cutting-edge science with compassionate behavioral health practices to rewire how women relate to their bodies, health, and healing processes.
Dr. Capps has spent over a decade refining this trauma-informed approach, and it is tailored specifically to address the unique challenges women face. Medical gaslighting, emotional labor, and identity shifts are common issues for women navigating autoimmune disease, and Dr. Capps has integrated these realities into the system's design.
Rather than encouraging individuals to 'push through' their symptoms, Dr. Capps' program fosters a deeper connection to the body's natural healing mechanisms, focusing on nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and real-time integration of recovery practices into daily life. The result is a personalized approach that prioritizes sustainable healing through compassionate, non-judgmental care.
A New Standard for Women's Autoimmune Recovery
The Autoimmune Rebalance System stands apart by offering a level of personalization and flexibility not often found in other programs. While many traditional systems rely on rigid regimens, Dr. Capps' program emphasizes flexible frameworks and compassionate consistency. The focus is on progress and healing, not perfection.
Participants are encouraged to adapt to their own unique needs and experiences—whether navigating energy shifts, managing flare-ups, or addressing emotional waves—while building sustainable recovery practices. The system does not prescribe a one-size-fits-all solution, but rather empowers women to listen to their bodies and engage in a healing process that fits their individual circumstances.
This tailored approach, grounded in a deep understanding of both the clinical and emotional aspects of autoimmune disease, positions Dr. Capps' Autoimmune Rebalance System as a premier resource for women seeking to take control of their health and well-being.
A Personal Journey to Empowerment and Healing
Dr. Ashley Capps is not only a recognized expert in the field of autoimmune recovery but also a passionate advocate for trauma-informed care. Her personal commitment to this work is rooted in a deep understanding of the complex intersection between trauma, stress, and autoimmune disease. Having worked with hundreds of women in clinical settings, Dr. Capps has seen firsthand how untreated emotional and psychological trauma can exacerbate autoimmune conditions.
Her ability to blend clinical rigor with an intuitive, compassionate approach has made her a sought-after speaker and educator in the fields of women's health, chronic illness recovery, and trauma. Her unique qualifications allow her to guide women through a healing process that combines the latest science with practical, real-life tools.
As Dr. Capps continues to expand the reach of her Autoimmune Rebalance System, she remains dedicated to reshaping the conversation about autoimmune disease. She firmly believes that true healing comes from addressing both the mind and body, and this system represents her commitment to helping women reclaim their health through holistic, trauma-informed care.

Harm Reduction in Alcohol Use Disorder: Lessons From Sex Ed
This transcript has been edited for clarity. Matthew F. Watto, MD: Welcome back to The Curbsiders . I'm Dr Matthew Frank Watto, here with my great friend and America's primary care physician, Dr Paul Nelson Williams. We had an awesome episode with Dr Stephen Holt and our addiction medicine crew, where we had a higher-level focus on medications for alcohol use disorder (AUD), mainly in the outpatient setting. Paul, I think it's important to start off by saying that when we were young people coming up in this field, abstinence was pretty much the only approach in the treatment of AUD. The attitude was that if your patient was unable to reach absolute abstinence, you were a failure. We were also probably calling it "alcoholism" at the time. But now, I think we're starting to take a more realistic, patient-centered, and evidence-based approach by recognizing that abstinence is not realistic for everybody. Instead, just a reduction in alcohol use can improve outcomes, including mortality. You really have to meet the patient where they are in the process. And yes — for many patients, achieving complete abstinence would be most optimal for their overall health, but it may not be in the cards for them, and a reduction in use is worth shooting for. Anything to say about that, Paul? Paul N. Williams, MD: It's all true. I think keeping things patient-centered is always important. We also need to recognize that even if the patient's goal is abstinence, it's really hard. These medications are effective but they're far from perfect. Accept that there may be returns to use and that you may not be able to achieve complete abstinence; be okay with that outcome and support the patient throughout the process. It's critical to avoid viewing it as a treatment failure, regardless of what your patient's goals might be. Watto: We have three FDA-approved medications: Naltrexone (oral or intramuscular), disulfiram, and acamprosate. Paul, I was not familiar with targeted therapy. I thought you had to take these medications every day or once a month. Teach me something, Paul. Williams: With AUD, there are often triggers of alcohol use, and often patients can anticipate what these triggers might be. On the episode we talked about Thanksgiving dinner — where we know an uncle's going to get us angry — or the anniversary of a loved one's death or being in a social situation. There are times when someone will know and recognize that they're going to be more likely to drink alcohol. So rather than being on chronic medication, patients can take medications in advance of whatever this occasion might be to help reduce their potential for use. That can be done with naltrexone — the Sinclair Method — and it sounds like the data are especially good for nalmefene, but it's a European medication that is not approved in the United States. Dr Holt and our colleague, Carolyn Chan, also mentioned doing this with disulfiram as well. This method of taking medication in anticipation of a known trigger — maybe a day or two before — can help patients be less likely to drink alcohol during that time, and can help them avoid all the burdens and hassles that come with being on a chronic medication. It's a neat technique that is not used as commonly as it could be, at least in my experience. Watto: It sounded like Dr Holt advises patients to start the medication a couple days before the known trigger and to continue using the medication until they feel like things are settled again. But Paul, Dr Holt loves disulfiram — I was shocked! I did not know this about him, and I thought no one was using disulfiram anymore. Have you prescribed it, and did you know that it was still "in vogue"? Williams: I have prescribed it, but I don't know if it's "in vogue." It's got a bad reputation and it's not necessarily my first line, but Dr Holt has a lot of enthusiasm for it and he makes a really interesting point. He brought up the fact that the studies that looked at disulfiram were randomized, double-blinded control trials. However, if you're a participant who believes that what you're taking (placebo or not) might make you deathly ill when you drink alcohol, that potential of severe illness will inevitably change patient behavior, regardless of what treatment arm they fall into. That kind of defeats the purpose of studying the efficacy of disulfiram in comparison to placebo. But when you actually look at the results of open-label trials — where patients knew what treatment arm they were randomized into and participants receiving the placebo knew there wasn't a real threat of severe illness — there's good evidence for disulfiram's efficacy in an observed setting. Dr Holt had a lot of personal success with disulfiram, so he was a big advocate for it. Our conversation certainly made me more inclined to prescribe it than I had been prior to the episode, but it's probably still not my first choice. Watto: I thought that was a really smart point about how, typically, randomized, blinded trials are our gold standard, but in this case the placebo becomes very strong in a blinded setting when the patient is not sure whether their treatment will cause them to get horribly ill if they drink. The standard dose of disulfiram is 250 mg. If patients don't become sick after drinking at that dose, Dr Holt said he would up the dose to 500 mg. That usually isn't common, but some patients just don't have that typical response at the standard dose and must be metabolizing alcohol some other way. However, most patients need to be really careful. Patients should avoid all alcohol-containing products, including mouthwash, vanilla extract, and many types of aftershave. The contraindications for disulfiram include: Pregnancy Cognitive impairment, as patients may not remember if they took their medications or not Severe cardiovascular disease, as a reaction can cause ischemia Advanced liver disease (eg, cirrhosis with Child-Pugh class B or C) Dr Holt would still use disulfiram for patients with mild cirrhosis who are considered Child-Pugh class A but recommends following the liver closely. I looked disulfiram up on LiverTox and there is some concern about acute medication-induced hepatitis that could be really serious. So, if a patient already has a sick liver at baseline, you probably don't want to give them this medication. Williams: Beyond the fact that I feel like this medication sometimes feels a little bit moralistic or kind of punitive for people who are drinking, as though it's just a sort of built-in punishment, my larger concern with prescribing disulfiram is the potential for hepatotoxicity. However, that may have been overstated in my brain. Watto: If I had a patient without contraindications, I would at least have a conversation to see if it's the right person, because it does take drinking off the table. Even if they're having cravings, they know they'll get violently ill if they drink and they don't want to end up in an ER for IV fluids because they're vomiting. I think it works, but it requires a little bit of a tricky conversation. But I do think this episode made me reconsider disulfiram as an agent to prescribe. Williams: It goes back to your original point of shared decision-making: We need to make sure we're making informed decisions together and matching treatments with patients' goals. If a patient is interested in disulfiram after a detailed conversation, I would not try to talk them out of it. I'm more inclined to reach for it now after speaking with Dr Holt. Watto: So, Paul, what off-label medications might listeners consider for AUD treatment? Williams: There's a bazillion, and there have been lots of small studies looking at different options and combinations. If you're unable to use the FDA-approved medications, topiramate is the one medication Dr Holt would reach for. It's even highlighted in the Veterans Affairs/Department of Defense guidelines. It can be a tricky medication because it has to be titrated slowly; we're talking about increments of 25 mg. As such, you have to have a patient who can follow directions, is committed to taking a medication, and is fairly well organized, which is not always the case when someone has an underlying AUD. There's also a lot of intolerable side effects for a lot of folks; patients might experience somnolence and paresthesias, so you have to be a little bit cautious with those. However, topiramate does have evidence to support its use. We talk a good bit about gabapentin as well, Matt. It's something that we've all prescribed for a million different reasons. Dr Holt is a fan of it, specifically for alcohol withdrawal, but also there is some evidence for its use with AUD. It seems helpful, especially in combination with, say, naltrexone. I'm more inclined to reach for that. We touched briefly on baclofen, and I've known people who have been enthusiastic about it as an option. There is evidence to support its use, but it's not one we talked too much about this episode. Watto: We also talked a little bit about combination therapy. There's not really strong evidence for it. I know you mentioned that sometimes you might use naltrexone and gabapentin together, but the evidence overall for something like naltrexone and acamprosate didn't seem to pan out. Williams: It's not well supported — correct.

Choosing a Medicare Advantage Plan That's Right for You
There are many factors to consider when choosing a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan, including costs, in-network providers, and coverage for medical services and prescription medications. If you're shopping for a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan this year, you may wonder what the best plan is for you. It depends on your personal situation, medical needs, how much you can afford, and other factors. Tools are available to help you find Medicare Advantage plans in your area that can meet all your healthcare needs. Glossary of common Medicare terms Out-of-pocket cost: This is the amount you pay for care when Medicare doesn't pay the full cost or offer coverage. It includes premiums, deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments. Premium: This is the monthly amount you pay for Medicare coverage. Deductible: This is the annual amount you must spend out of pocket before Medicare begins to cover services and treatments. Coinsurance: This is the percentage of treatment costs you're responsible for paying out of pocket. With Medicare Part B, you typically pay 20%. Copayment: This is a fixed dollar amount you pay when receiving certain treatments or services. With Medicare, this often applies to prescription medications. Factors to consider when choosing a Medicare Advantage plan With all the changes being made to the Medicare plans on the market, it can be hard to narrow down the best plan for you. Here are a few things to look for in a Medicare Advantage plan: costs that fit your budget and needs a list of in-network providers that includes any doctor(s) you would like to keep coverage for services and medications you know you'll need Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) star rating Research CMS star ratings The CMS has implemented a 5-star rating system to measure the quality of health and drug services provided by Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D (prescription drug) plans. Every year, the CMS releases these star ratings and additional data to the public. The CMS ratings can be a great place to start when shopping around for the best Medicare Advantage plan in your state. Consider researching these plans for more information on what coverage is included and how much it costs. To see all available Medicare Part C and D 2025 star ratings, visit and download the 2025 Medicare Star Ratings Data Table. Consider your coverage priorities All Medicare Advantage plans cover what Original Medicare covers — this includes hospital coverage (Part A) and medical coverage (Part B). When you choose a Medicare Advantage plan, you first want to consider what type of coverage you need in addition to the coverage above. Most Medicare Advantage plans offer one, if not all, of these additional types of coverage: prescription drug coverage dental coverage, including yearly exams and procedures vision coverage, including yearly exams and vision devices hearing coverage, including exams and hearing devices fitness memberships medical transportation additional healthcare perks Finding the best Medicare Advantage plan means making a checklist of the services you want to receive coverage for. You can then take your coverage checklist to Medicare's find a plan tool and compare plans that cover what you need. If you find a plan that looks good for you, don't be afraid to call the company to ask if they offer any additional coverage or perks. Determine your budget and potential healthcare costs One of the most important things to consider when choosing the best Medicare Advantage plan is how much it will cost you. The find a plan tool lists the following cost information with the plans: monthly premium Part B premium in-network yearly deductible drug deductible in- and out-of-network out-of-pocket max copays and coinsurance To get a starting estimate of your yearly costs, consider the premium, deductible, and out-of-pocket max. Any deductible listed is the amount you'll owe out of pocket before your insurance begins to pay out. Any out-of-pocket max listed is the maximum amount you will pay for the services throughout the year. When estimating your plan costs, consider these costs plus how often you will need to refill prescription drugs or make office visits. If you require specialist or out-of-network visits, include those potential costs in your estimate as well. Remember that your amount may be lower if you receive financial assistance from the state. Review other benefits you may already have If you already receive other types of healthcare benefits, this may factor into what kind of Medicare Advantage plan you'll need. For example, if you already receive Original Medicare and have opted to add Part D or Medigap, many of your needs may already be covered. However, you can always do a coverage comparison to determine whether a Medicare Advantage plan would work better or be more cost-effective for you. What Medicare Advantage plans are available? When beginning your search for a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan, it's important to know the differences between each type of plan. You'll probably see some or all of the following types of plans when reviewing your options: Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plans: HMO plans are primarily focused on in-network healthcare services. Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans: PPO plans charge different rates depending on whether the services are in or out of network. (A 'network' is a group of providers who contract to provide services for the specific insurance company and plan.) PPO plans may provide more options to receive out-of-network care. Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS) plans: PFFS plans let you receive care from any Medicare-approved provider who will accept the approved fee from your plan. Special Needs Plans (SNPs): SNPs offer additional help for medical costs associated with specific chronic health conditions. Medicare Savings Account (MSA) plans: MSA plans combine a high-deductible health plan with a medical savings account. Each plan offers options to accommodate your healthcare needs. For example, if you have chronic health conditions, SNPs are designed to help alleviate some long-term costs. On the other hand, a PFFS or MSA plan might be beneficial if you travel and need to see out-of-network healthcare professionals. When do you sign up for a Medicare Advantage plan? The Medicare enrollment process can begin as early as 3 months before you or your loved one turns 65 years old. This is the best time to apply, as it will ensure that you receive coverage by your 65th birthday. You can wait to apply for Medicare until the month of your 65th birthday or the 3 months following your birthday. However, coverage can be delayed if you wait, so try to apply early. If you decide not to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan when you first turn age 65, you have another chance during Medicare's annual open enrollment period. From October 15 through December 7 each year, you can switch from Original Medicare to Medicare Advantage. You can also switch from one Medicare Advantage plan to another or add, remove, or change a Part D plan. The takeaway There are many factors that can influence which Medicare Advantage plan you choose. Consider the CMS star rating, your priorities and healthcare needs, how much you can afford, and what type of insurance you currently have. It's important to enroll in Medicare before you turn age 65 to ensure that you don't go without medical coverage. Don't forget that you have the power to shop around for the best Medicare Advantage plan that fits all your needs.

Understanding Your Medicare Coverage
There are many Medicare options to consider, so understanding how to navigate them is important. You can begin considering Medicare options before you turn 65, which is when you first become eligible. Medicare is government-funded health insurance available to people ages 65 and older. If you have specific health conditions, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or end stage renal disease (ESRD), you'll be eligible before turning 65. Medicare is different from Medicaid, which is specifically for people with low incomes and resources. About Medicare Before you turn 65, you may want to consider your current health insurance, when it will end, and whether you may need any new or additional benefits in the future. Original Medicare has two main parts — Part A and Part B. These parts cover most inpatient and outpatient services. Other parts of Medicare include Medicare Advantage (Part C), Part D prescription drug plans, and Medigap supplement insurance. Private insurers administer these plans and offer additional benefits and services. You can choose a plan or combination of plans that will work best for you by considering: budget doctor, hospital, or clinic preferences current and future health conditions medications Once you're eligible for Medicare, you may be automatically enrolled. If not, you can enroll online, by post, or in person at a local Social Security office. Medicare coverage The different Medicare parts include the following coverage: Medicare Part A Part A is for inpatient hospital care. It covers the services you receive when you are admitted to a hospital or other inpatient healthcare facility. It does not cover outpatient care, most hospital room extras, private, custodial care, or long-term care. Medicare Part B Part B covers outpatient services, including diagnostic tests related to your health conditions. It also covers some preventive services and limited prescription drugs. Medicare Part D prescription drug plans If you have Original Medicare, you can enroll in a Part D drug plan. Each Part D drug plan has a formulary, which is a list of covered medications. As private insurers administer these plans, it's important to consider the covered medications when comparing the different options. Medicare Advantage (Part C) Medicare Advantage plans must include the same benefits as Original Medicare Part A and Part B. Plans typically include additional benefits like fitness, vision, dental, and prescription medications. You can use Medicare's plan finder to search for plans in your area. Medigap Medicare supplemental insurance can be added to Original Medicare only. It helps cover some of the associated out-of-pocket costs. There are currently 10 different Medigap plans to choose from, although not all plans are available in all areas. Medicare costs Medicare costs will vary by plan but can include monthly premiums, deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments. Part A In 2025, Medicare Part A costs include: Monthly premium: Most people pay $0 for Part A, but this will depend on your working history. Deductible: It is $1,676 per benefit period. A benefit period begins when you're admitted to a hospital and ends when you haven't received any inpatient care for 60 days in a row. Copayment: This ranges from $0 to the full cost of services, depending on the length of your hospital stay. Part B In 2025, Medicare Part B costs include: Premiums: premiums start at $185 per month but can increase based on your income Deductible: $257 per year Coinsurance: 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for eligible Part B items or services Part C Medicare Advantage plan costs vary but can include: monthly premiums annual deductibles copayments coinsurance According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the average monthly Part C premium is around $17 in 2025. Part D Premiums and other out-of-pocket costs for Medicare Part D prescription drug plans vary by plan, plan provider, and location. The national 2025 base beneficiary premium is $36.78, and your plan price can increase based on your income. Medigap You'll pay a separate premium for a Medigap plan, which can vary by plan provider and location. Medicare billing Most people will not receive a bill from Medicare, as it generally operates a fee-for-service (FFS) model. This means that healthcare facilities, professionals, doctors, and clinics bill Medicare directly for each item or service. Plan premiums may automatically be deducted from Social Security benefits, but if not, Medicare will bill you. How to pay for Medicare premiums There are various ways to pay your Medicare bills each month, including: through Medicare's website, with a debit or credit card by mail, using a check, money order, or payment form Another way to pay your Medicare bill is through Medicare Easy Pay. This free service allows you to pay your monthly Medicare Part A and Part B premiums through automatic bank withdrawals. You can print and complete the Authorization Agreement for Preauthorized Payments form (SF-5510), which is available in English and Spanish. Takeaway Medicare can be complex, but understanding the basics can help you focus on your coverage needs. Original Medicare covers inpatient and outpatient medical services. Additional plans can be added to cover take-home prescription drugs and some of Original Medicare's out-of-pocket costs. Other bundled plans are also available. Medicare's website can help you browse the different plan options available in your area, and help you make the best choice for your healthcare needs.
