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

1:50.9	he operates a clinical practice in California, has written two best-selling books, and is in the
1:56.2	process of writing two more. So it was a really big deal for him to take time out of his schedule for this
2:02.3	interview, and we covered a huge range of topics. We talked about the three stages of autoimmunity,
2:08.9	the role of blood sugar and autoimmune disease, the power of stress and our emotional demons,
