0:00.0	Welcome to the Phoenix Helix podcast dedicated to maximizing autoimmune health through the paleo diet and lifestyle.
0:07.3	While there is no cure for autoimmune disease, the choices we make every day can have a powerful impact on how we feel.
0:14.4	I'm Eileen Laird, your host from PhoenixHelix.com, and I reduced my rheumatoid arthritis pain by 95%, which took me from a life of excruciating
