The Autoimmune Recovery Guide: Myths, Root Causes and Immune Balance
Addressing the root causes of autoimmune disease is a highly effective way to restore balance and reverse autoimmune disease.
This means focusing on healing and repairing the gut lining, improving nutrient absorption, reducing inflammation, balancing the immune system, and managing stress. It is also important to be mindful of any potential food sensitivities or triggers as well as toxins in your environment.
By taking these steps to address the root causes of your disease, you can manage your symptoms more effectively and even prevent further damage.
Why autoimmune disease doesn’t mean a war against your own body
Our bodies and our immune systems have evolved over millions of years to protect us. It is what has kept our species alive. They are designed to keep us safe, to help us live.
Having an autoimmune disease doesn’t mean that your body is at war with you!
Why a Gluten-Free Diet is not enough when trying to improve autoimmune symptoms
We know that gluten plays an important role in enhanced intestinal permeability (aka leaky gut) which is a major contributor to autoimmune disease progression.
However, simply going gluten-free may not be enough to improve autoimmune symptoms as other dietary factors and nutrient deficiencies can also play a role.
10 most common causes of gut dysbiosis and how they can lead to autoimmunity
There’s a whole shade of grey in between this black and white reality of having no autoimmune disease to being diagnosed with one.
This entire progressive state of disease is the spectrum of autoimmunity that has vibrant health at one end and degenerative disease at the other.
Balancing the immune system is an effective way to treat autoimmune disease without strong immunosuppression
Your autoimmune disease diagnosis is NOT a life sentence.
No diagnosis is. You don’t have to be sick all time or be in constant pain. You don’t have to deal with severe exhaustion, all day, every day. Your immune system can be healed, and you can do it.
How food can be used as medicine and heal you from autoimmune disease
If we treat “food as medicine” we can change the way our genes are stimulated and respond, thus creating health through changes in our biological functioning.
Should you try to improve your immune system if you have an autoimmune disease?
A healthy immune system is one that can self regulate and have an appropriate and balanced immune response. So it’s not really about how to boost your immune system. Having a healthy immune system is about balance.
Why are autoimmune diseases on the rise? Here are 3 reasons why
What has helped our species to survive over millions of years is now working against us. The thing is, our bodies will prioritise survival over everything else. We often live in an environment that seems constantly threatening to our immune system. As a result, our bodies are living mostly in a “chronic survival mode”.
There is no cure for autoimmune diseases. But did you know that you can reverse it?
