Bringing Hope, driven by science. Isabelle Amigues, MD, is a physician scientist with a speciality in rheumatology. She has trained both in Paris, France as well as Columbia University, in New York City. At age 40, in the midst of an existential crisis, she was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer. A timely meeting with a non-traditionally trained practitioner taught her a different approach to disease. She experienced the power of meditation, visualization, energy healing and love. Her journey through cancer inspired her to learn more about these alternative approaches, and now that she has studied many of them she has integrated them into her own practice of medicine. Dr. Amigues is the author of multiple book chapters and scientific articles in rheumatology. She is the founder and CEO of UnabridgedMD.

  • Starting Methotrexate but scared of the side effects? Folic acid can help!
    May 20 2026

    Methotrexate in Rheumatology:

    Methotrexate is a very old drug and is known to be chemotherapeutic. Let us see how this medication reduces inflammation, alleviates joint pain, and slows down disease progression. We'll see some dosage, administration, and monitoring considerations as well as the benefits of Folic Acid if taken along with Methotrexate.

  • How One Man Reached Full Remission from Rheumatoid Arthritis
    May 12 2026

    Can someone with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (high CCP, inflammatory synovitis, severe flare) go into full remission without long-term medication?

    In this powerful interview, Dr. Isabelle Amigues speaks with Brandon, a patient diagnosed with textbook rheumatoid arthritis who experienced:

    • Severe joint inflammation
    • High anti-CCP antibodies
    • Debilitating flares
    • Prednisone and methotrexate treatment
    • Biologic therapy (Kevzara)

    After a profound turning point, Brandon explored:

    • Vagus nerve stimulation
    • Stress reduction & nervous system regulation
    • Meditation & humming techniques
    • Anti-inflammatory nutrition
    • Exercise & muscle rebuilding
    • Body awareness & alignment

    Today, he has been in full remission for over 6 months without medication.

    This episode explores:

    • The role of stress in autoimmune disease
    • Vagus nerve stimulation and inflammation
    • Can RA remission happen naturally?
    • The bridge between Western medicine and nervous system healing
    • Why remission is the goal — no matter the path

    This is not medical advice. This is a story of possibility, partnership, and personalized care.
