The Autoimmune Spectrum: Dr. David Bilstrom on Reversing Chronic Disease & Preventing Future Illness

Nearly 60% of Americans have at least one chronic disease, and an estimated 1 in 10 suffers from an autoimmune disorder. 

But what if these numbers drastically underestimate the issue? Research suggests up to 80% of Americans show signs of inflammation, a major driver of autoimmune conditions.

In this episode, Dr. David Bilstrom, a quadruple board-certified physician and director of the International Autoimmune Institute, breaks down the science of why autoimmune diseases are skyrocketing, why most treatments focus on the wrong things, and how you can actually address the root causes before it’s too late. 

If you or someone you love struggles with chronic inflammation, fatigue, or brain fog or has ever been told “it’s just genetics,” this episode is a must-listen.

"The body's default mode is always to move towards wellness. It just inherently fixes things. If you cut yourself, you don't go, 'Great, I'm going to have this open wound my whole life.' The body heals it." ~ Dr. David Bilstrom
