There are a number of autoimmune diseases, and they are becoming more prevalent in so-called advanced and advancing economies. Is that a coincidence? No, it’s not. You may think what does rheumatoid arthritis, hashimotos disease, type one diabetes and multiple sclerosis have in common? Well, as it turns out, they have a lot in common. And I explain to you precisely how your gut health, or lack thereof, is tied to an autoimmune condition, far from the gut.
I have two videos dedicated to this large topic. Part of the reason why there is so much content, is because there are so many autoimmune diseases. I try to cover all of the most prevalent ones, for the viewer’s benefit. Another reason, is that there are three main themes that really need to be understood. These three main topics come up over and over again in just about every scientific paper you’ll read on autoimmune disease. Topic one will be immune dysregulation. Topic two is something called molecular mimicry, and the last of the BIG 3 determinants of autoimmune disease will be a review of genetic propensity. I’ll introduce and explain them in the first video. In the second video, I’ll show examples of when they come up in the research.
Part 1
Part 2
One last reason why there are two videos, is because there is so much content. As many of my viewers have been watching for a while, I always try to review certain topics which I think are important, but also highlight new topics to broaden everyone’s understanding. And here, I’ve done that again, by using examples from a number of autoimmune diseases.
I realize my content can be a bit dense, but for a certain percentage of people, and it’s small, it’s right up their alley. I find that in general, when I conduct my consultations with individuals who have found me via my videos, they are very well versed in their respective condition, as well as nutrition and other aspects of health. In fact, I’d place bets that some of them know more about their condition than do their practitioners. With that said, they look to learn something new. If the content were any less, I’d be like everyone else online, and you would wonder how I can call myself The Microbiome Expert. So, if my videos are not for you, I understand. But if you are one of those people taking a vested interest in their health, and are looking for a more intelligent way forward, then “welcome”.
As the former director of medical education for a microbiome firm, and now with my own platform, I have helped many people over the years. And now, I bring this knowledge directly to you. In our world as it is, we all now have to be our own health advocates. With a broken government, food and medical system, you need to take charge of your healthcare. So, educate yourself, as best you can. This is why I’ve launched my educational platform. You can find my presentations entitled, “Autoimmune Disease and the Microbiome (1 & 2)” in my Microbiome University tab, and also on my YouTube channel. If you have a condition or disease that you think would be well served by addressing your microbiome, you can visit the Protocols tab on my website where you can find a science-based protocol which may dramatically improve your quality of life, as they have done for many others (see my testimonials)
