Summary

What if everything you thought you knew about autoimmune diseases was wrong? What if gut health holds the key to not just looking better but living longer and feeling your best?

In today's episode, I sat down with gut health expert Josh Dech to challenge some big ideas about chronic illness. Josh broke down why conditions like Crohn’s and colitis might not be autoimmune at all—and what that means for the way we treat them.

We talked about how gut health affects more than just digestion. It plays a huge role in brain function, skin health, and even how we age. Josh explained why mainstream medicine often focuses on treating symptoms instead of finding the root cause, leading many people to feel stuck in a cycle of medication without real healing.

One of the most fascinating parts of our conversation was Josh’s theory that so-called “autoimmune” diseases might actually be the body responding to hidden infections—not attacking itself. If he's right, it could completely change the way we approach chronic illness.

Key Takeaways:

The medical system often focuses on symptoms rather than root causes.

Many chronic diseases labeled as genetic or autoimmune may have environmental causes.

Instead of accepting a diagnosis at face value, it is crucial to investigate potential root causes and seek solutions beyond conventional treatments.

Josh Dech is a gut health specialist who helps people heal digestive issues like Crohn’s and colitis naturally. He focuses on finding the root causes of these conditions instead of just treating symptoms. Josh challenges common medical beliefs and shares simple, effective ways to improve gut health.
