How these 2025 Nobel Prize winners could impact A.S. patients

A Nobel Prize-winning discovery could change the landscape of Axial Spondyloarthritis / Ankylosing Spondylitis forever. In this episode of AS Info Share, we break down the 2025 Nobel Prize in Medicine and what it means for our community. We’re moving past just "blocking" inflammation and moving toward Treg Therapies—a revolutionary approach that uses the body’s own Foxp3 gene to restore balance and stop the attack on the spine. We discuss: * The Foxp3 Blueprint: Why this "Master Controller" is the key to shutting down the AS fire. * Tregs vs. HLA-B27: How this new science can override our genetic glitches. * The Future of Treatment: From Low-dose IL-2 to "Precision Tregs" currently in clinical trials. * Functional Cures: What it means to "re-educate" your immune system for long-term remission. This discovery may provide the most realistic path to a future without daily pain. Join us as we explore the new blueprint for AS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This episode is for informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

Walk Your A.S. Off

Movement is medicine. For those living with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and Axial Spondyloarthritis (AxSpA), staying active isn't just a goal—it’s a vital part of managing the condition. In part one of this special two-part series on AS Info Share, we sit down with Sean Ewert, the Director of Member Engagement for the Spondylitis Association of America (SAA). We dive deep into the origin of the "Walk Your AS Off" (WYASO) event and discuss why this movement is more than just a walk—it’s a celebration of resilience. In this episode, Sean explains how the event can help you stay active throughout the year, how you can be part of the celebration, and the many ways you can support the movement.

Mental Health and Late Diagnosis for Women

In our final episode with patient advocate Michael Mallinson, we peel back the layers of the "invisible" side of Axial Spondyloarthritis. Living with a chronic condition isn't just a physical battle; it’s a mental one, too. We discuss the critical role of mental health support and why it should be a standard part of every treatment plan. We also dive deep into a major gap in the healthcare system: the diagnostic challenges women face. From being dismissed by doctors to waiting years longer than men for an accurate diagnosis, we explore why the female experience with AxSpA is often misunderstood and what needs to change. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This episode is for informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

Fear of biologics and opinions on A.S. diet trends.

Biologics: life-changing medicine or something to fear? And can a specific diet really 'cure' an autoimmune condition? On this episode, we’re cutting through the noise. AxSpA patient advocate Michael Mallinson is back with us to tackle the anxiety surrounding medication and the dietary myths that flood our social feeds.
