Author: Funk Roberts July 27, 2024 Duration: 1:10:19
Did you know that there are over 100 autoimmune diseases? Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system attacks the body's tissues. Understanding the root causes and how to adopt effective management strategies is critical, given their high prevalence worldwide.

Dr. Jockers, a leading expert in natural medicine and functional nutrition, joins me today to discuss the complexities of diagnosing and treating autoimmune diseases. He underscores the role of lifestyle changes and functional medicine in managing autoimmune conditions.

We’ll also discuss the importance of healing the gut, managing chronic inflammation, eating a healthy diet, and addressing chronic infections and toxic exposures to manage autoimmunity.

Whether you are dealing with an autoimmune condition or supporting a loved one through it, this episode will empower you to take proactive steps toward better health and recovery.
