0:00.0	Welcome to the Phoenix Helix podcast dedicated to maximizing autoimmune health through the paleo
0:05.8	diet and lifestyle. While there is no cure for autoimmune disease, the choices we make every day
0:11.4	can have a powerful impact on how we feel. I'm Eileen Laird, your host from PhoenixHelix.com, and I reduced my
0:18.8	rheumatoid arthritis pain by 95%, which took me from a life of excruciating
0:24.7	pain and disability back to a full and beautiful life. A short disclaimer, I'm neither a doctor
0:30.8	nor a nutritionist and the opinions expressed here are personal. Always consult with your
0:35.4	health care team before making medical decisions. Now let's get on to the show.

2:06.2	Autimmune Wellness Handbook. Welcome to both of you, Dr. Walls and Angie. Thank you.
2:12.5	Before we dive into the topic today, I have a couple of brief updates from me. First of all,
