Don't worry you guys. I'm not back this week with another spiritual healer that's going to tell you to rub dirt in their face.

Instead, we have another sciency episode for you all about the root causes of autoimmune disease. But of course there is a spiritual

twist because we're going to talk a lot about trauma and the underlying nervous system activation that can lead to immune overactivation.

So of course we are going to hit this in the most holistic sense possible.

Today's guest is Dr. Sarah Gottfried.

We've had her on the podcast before to talk about PCOS and today she is doing a deep dive with us on auto immunity.

She is one of the most well known, well read, well written functional MDs in the holistic health world, and she is going

to give us the full breakdown on why Western medicine is really failing us when it comes to identifying and

treating autoimmune disease. We're gonna chat about why it can take seven to 14

years for autoimmune diseases

to even show up on a lab panel and be detected.

And why we're failing people with auto immunity

during these crucial years

where they can actually take steps to remedy and reverse the root causes.

What you can do if you're going down the road of auto immunity and of course what you can do

if you're already there to actually address those root causes. We're going to

chat about why no matter what autoimmune disease you have, those root causes are

exactly the same and there is something that you can do for each and every one

especially when it comes to your gut health.

And we're going to really deep dive,

like I said, into this concept of trauma

as a catalyst event for the cascade of immune dysregulation.
