In this episode we discuss:
-
Why elimination diets and avoiding dietary triggers is not the solution for autoimmunity
-
The role of the gut health and intestinal permeability in autoimmune conditions (and why “leaky gut” isn’t the primary cause of autoimmunity)
-
The problems with immunosuppression and symptom management for autoimmune conditions
-
Alternative views of the immune system that create a completely different picture of autoimmunity
