Episode notes
Fifteen Years Of Pain Led To A Gut Discovery
- Ben Azadi lived 15 years with chronic inflammation and arthritis before discovering a gut-based cause.
- His recovery framed the episode's protocol to reverse autoimmune-driven joint pain.
Arthritis Is A Systemic Immune Problem
- Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune condition driven by immune activation in synovial tissue.
- Research links RA to altered gut microbiota and immune dysregulation rather than mere joint wear-and-tear.
Leaky Gut Triggers Immune Misfires
- Intestinal permeability ('leaky gut') lets undigested food particles enter the bloodstream and trigger immune responses.
- Chronic exposure causes the immune system to tag harmless foods as threats, driving autoimmunity and joint attacks.
