Deep dives

Causes of Spike in Autoimmunity

The modern lifestyle is identified as a key factor contributing to the significant increase in autoimmunity over the past few decades. Factors such as diet, with a high consumption of processed foods like flour, sugar, and industrial seed oils, play a crucial role in disrupting the gut microbiome and triggering immune responses. Additionally, lack of exercise, inadequate sleep, chronic stress, and exposure to environmental toxins further contribute to immune system dysregulation and the development of autoimmune conditions.
