Summary

Disorders in immune function are a modern day epidemic which manifest as a litany of immune and autoimmune conditions like hypothyroidism, celiac disease, IBD, RA, IBS, and depression. The gut is possibly the most impactful organ influencing the immune system. By understanding how to optimize gut health and gut immune function, we can unlock a powerful method for improving this array of immune and autoimmune conditions. However, what was healthy for our ancestor’s immune systems may not be healthy for a Western immune system. This talk will outline where we should replicate the ancestral environment for optimum immune health, but also where we should make important modifications to better suit the modern-day immune system.

1:09.7	for optimum gut and immune health.
1:11.8	And I think when you look at this issue from the perspective of the immune system,
1:17.0	you start to see why I've made some recommendations that have been counter to what you may
1:23.3	hear in other places.
1:24.7	And this is because I think one of the things that's been left out of the picture is looking at how our immune systems are formed and how our immune systems are not
1:33.3	hunter-gatherer immune systems. So therefore, creating a hunter-gatherer gut may not be a great
1:38.8	idea because the immune system and the gut may not get along. And I'm going to expand on that
1:43.9	posit here throughout the body of the talk today.
