Welcome to Day 1 of our autoimmune masterclass series. If you’re tired of taking medication after medication but never truly getting to the root cause of your illness, then you’ve come to the right place. Often with autoimmune disease, as a patient it feels like they’re either throwing antibiotics or steroids at inflammation. In the end, we must understand how the body works, what causes inflammation (many environmental issues such as plastics, pesticides, forever chemicals and hormone disrupting agents) that lead to many autoimmune conditions such as those listed below.

In Day 1, we will discuss how gut health and leaky gut contribute to imbalances in the immune system. 70-90% of the serotonin (happy chemical in the brain) is produced by the enterochromaffin cells in the intestines and 70% of the immune system lies in the lining of the gut. Leaky gut, caused by toxins, infections, stress, antibiotics, NSAIDs, alcohol, and autoimmunity, can cause things to get into the blood stream that shouldn’t be there. Understanding this important barrier can help reduce symptoms of chronic pain and reduce exposure to harmful environmental toxins. The gut microbiome is a huge area of current and future research, and we can help you explore best practices as they relates to your individual health plan.
