Autoimmune conditions are on the rise, driven by various environmental factors. One often overlooked contributor? Trauma. Today’s guest sheds light on how trauma influences the body to attack itself, triggering autoimmune diseases.
Today, on the Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru interviews Dr. Sarah Gottfried about the surge in autoimmune conditions and their link to trauma. Dr. Gottfried discusses three factors that can lead to autoimmune conditions, symptoms indicating a condition, and the progression timeline of these symptoms. She also examines research findings on metabolic dysfunction and autoimmunity, along with traits observed in individuals who do not develop autoimmune conditions.
Dr. Sara Gottfried is a board-certified physician who graduated from Harvard and MIT. She practices evidence-based integrative, precision, and Functional Medicine. Dr. Gottfried is a global keynote speaker and the author of four New York Times bestselling books about trauma, hormones, and health.
