Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Root Cause Medicine Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Anthony Krafasi.

Today, we're talking with Dr. Rob Silverman about autoimmunity and inflammation. Here's a clip

from today's show. There are five main causes of autoimmune disease in my mind. Number one,

toxins. You get external and internal toxins. Allergens, food

sensitivities to me are a hidden, silent trigger because it takes 72 hours to know if you have a

food sensitivity from the time to ingestion up to time of symptomology. Microbes and microbiome, oh my goodness, if we want to talk about

the gut, we're here for weeks. The gut is the epicenter of your health. Our diet, our American diet,

our poor American dieters like we like to refer to as sad. The average American consumes

160 pounds of sugar per year and 146 pounds of wheat per year. That's almost a

pound of junk. 60% of our calories come from ultra-processed foods. After saying that, the fifth one

comes to mind. Stress, psychological and physical, actual physical stress, especially to the

barriers like the microbiome.

That's just a small taste of the great show we've got coming up.
