GREAT NEWS
Current research in understanding the mechanisms that drive the progression of autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto’s, Celiac Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, MS, etc. has led to treatment protocols and strategies that equip patients and practitioners with enough information and direction to both reverse and prevent many autoimmune conditions.
THE TRUTH is that genetics only accounts for up to 30% of the equation. The real opportunity in healing is both in uncovering “triggers” that confuse your immune system so that you can reclaim your immune intelligence, and healing your gut.
WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR
The root causes of autoimmunity can be divided into the following 3 areas:
- Environmental Factors
- Intestinal Permeability – aka Leaky Gut
- Genetics
Treatment Strategy
Managing, reversing, and preventing autoimmune conditions requires a baseline 3-pronged approach:
1) DETECTING & REMOVING ENVIRONMENTAL TRIGGERS – these include:
- Eliminating FOOD TOXINS & ALLERGENS (may be gluten, dairy, corn, soy, coffee, nuts, etc) and adopting a NOURISHING (non-immune reactive) DIET
- Addressing UNDERLYING INFECTIONS (intestinal viruses, bacterial overgrowth, yeast overgrowth, parasitic infections)
- Reducing your TOXIC LOAD (heavy metals, chemicals, metabolic waste, stress, etc.) and Living a DETOX Lifestyle (self-care, nourishing food, good sleep, daily movement, forgiveness, connection, etc.)
- STABILIZING BLOOD SUGAR (proper plate portions, meal timing, exercise, stress reduction, etc.)
2) ADDRESS & HEAL YOUR GUT
- HEAL & SEAL your gut
- Balance gut MICROBES
- Ensure ample Enzymes & Stomach Acid
3) REGULATE YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
- Dampen overactive Immune System with Anti-Inflammatory support
- Support proper IMMUNE SYSTEM BALANCE
