In this “Mental Health Is Physical Health” series episode, I sit down with members of my functional medicine telehealth team to talk all about autoimmune disease as a whole, from the lens of our clinical, functional medicine perspective. We share what autoimmunity is, the different types that exist, and the massive problems that exist within the standard healthcare system when it comes to diagnosis. From top causes (both genetic + epigenetic!), functional medicine labs to run, sneaky foods to avoid, and the importance of nervous system regulation, to the exact protocol you need for natural healing, this episode will serve as your proverbial first step on the path of finally reclaiming your health, once and for all. Be sure to listen until the end of the episode, where we share more on our revolutionary, root cause focused, group-care program, The Autoimmune Health Reset.
