Your Health Is In Your Hands: Healing Diseases Naturally | Ep13

The path to healing autoimmune disease lies in understanding how our diet and lifestyle choices profoundly shape our health—especially when conventional medicine often focuses only on symptom management rather than addressing root causes.

• Autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system attacks the body's own tissues, affecting an estimated 50 million Americans
• Leaky gut (intestinal permeability) plays a critical role in autoimmunity by allowing partially digested proteins and toxins to enter the bloodstream
• Gluten specifically damages gut barrier function through gliadin, which loosens tight junctions between cells
• The modern Western diet creates an inflammatory environment through high glycemic foods, imbalanced omega fatty acids, and processed ingredients
• Chronic stress disrupts cortisol patterns and directly impacts immune function through the HPA axis
• Quality sleep (7-10 hours) is essential for immune regulation and healing
• The elimination protocol removes all inflammatory triggers including gluten, dairy, legumes, nightshades, nuts, seeds, and processed foods
• Nutrient-dense foods like organ meats, seafood, bone broth, and diverse vegetables provide healing compounds
• Healing timelines vary widely—reducing autoantibodies takes 3-6 months while tissue healing can take 6 months to 2 years
• Mindful movement, stress reduction techniques, and proper sleep hygiene are crucial complementary practices

If you're struggling with autoimmune symptoms, we encourage you to commit to a 2-3 month trial of these changes. The potential reward is profound—not just managing symptoms but potentially achieving disease remission and reclaiming your vitality.
