We know that autoimmune diseases are skyrocketing (things like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, to name just two)! And so today's guest is thought leader Dr. Tiffany Caplan – here to talk about food sensitivities, leaky gut, and how they are related to the increase we're witnessing in autoimmune diseases. 

 

Dr. Tiffany Caplan is a certified functional medicine practitioner who has experienced firsthand how lifestyle medicine can save a person's life. She is the best-selling author of 'The Lupus Solution' and the founder of the Caplan Health Institute for people with chronic illness who have the goal of achieving long-term remission. 

 

Discover Dr. Caplan's relatable journey into functional medicine after struggling with brain fog. Learn what an autoimmune condition is, and why our immune system can start attacking our body. 

 

Dr. Caplan outlines for us the nine primary drivers that are being identified in people with autoimmune conditions. And while there may be lots of different autoimmune conditions out there, there are most certainly some important commonalities causing the inflammation that we can begin to address. 

 

Our understanding can start here in this impactful episode that gives a great overview of autoimmunity and how we can begin to address the root cause!
