Autoimmune diseases have skyrocketed in the last 2 decades.

Chances are you know someone suffering with one of the following 9 conditions:

1) Rheumatoid Arthritis
2) Multiple Sclerosis
3) Psoriasis
4) Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
5) Vitiligo

THREAD Image
6) Lupus
7) Celiac Disease
8) Type 1 Diabetes
9) Polymyalgia Rheumatica
10) And More!

These diseases not only decrease the quality of life for the individual, but they also put a financial burden on the person due to the healthcare of managing the disease.
And if you have 1 autoimmune disease, there is about a 25% chance you will have a 2nd autoimmune disease.
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC31…
But why such an increase in rates over the last 20-30 years?

And why this prevalence of multiple conditions?

Working with my own patients, I believe there are several key reasons.
Even in a recent randomized controlled study, it was shown that there is about a 30% reduction in autoimmune diseases with just 2 key nutrients, versus the placebo alone.

Why isn't this plastered all over the news!?
I'll tell you why:

They are inexpensive solutions that address some of the root causes in autoimmune diseases, and there is not enough money to be made because nutrients are not able to be patented.

That's the sad reality.
If you or someone you know is suffering with an autoimmune condition, you'll need to:

1) Educate yourself on root causes (not just symptoms management or blood work management)

2) Take matters into your own hand to vastly improve and, in some cases, cure these conditions.
Tomorrow in my free newsletter, I’m going to discuss the above mentioned study on the 2 nutrients.

I will explain in layman’s terms why this study had such profound results for an intervention so simple.
I will also discuss several other strategies that have greatly helped my patients.

Strategies that you can simply implement on your own so your body can improve its function.

So many of my middle-aged patients have “no energy” when they first come in.

They prop up their low energy with:

•Coffee
•Energy Drinks
•Mid-Day Naps

There are deeper root issues at hand. Until they’re addressed, the above are only crutches for their low energy.

Our bodies have an estimated 30 trillion cells.

That’s a lot!

And each one of those cells can & should produce sufficient energy.
Within each cell, there are mitochondria.

Think of these like engines for your cells.

Some cells have 1-2 mitochondria.

And some specific cells in your brain have over 1 million mitochondria!

If you can understand this, you can:

•Reverse Pre-Diabetes
•Reverse Type 2 Diabetes
•Get Off Many (If Not All) Your Medications
•Lose Weight

I will use Amazon packages to make it simple for you.

THREAD Image
Before I explain the Amazon packages, you’ll want to understand a few facts first.

Then I will give you the Amazon package analogy that will make it so simple to understand, and simple for you to fix these issues.

But first, let’s cover a few facts.
It is very common for someone who has Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) to also have:

•High Cholesterol
•High Blood Pressure
•Excess Weight / Be Obese

This is not by chance.

This is due to what ultimately causes T2D.

Often food companies will fortify foods. Essentially adding extra nutrients to foods.

On the surface, it sounds healthy.

Initially, in the 1920’s the practice was initiated to promote health.

However, nowadays you need to be aware with many products.

THREAD Image
There are often 2 primary reasons many food products are fortified with added nutrients.

#1 Reason
The foods have been stripped of their nutrition and need to have them added (fortified) back in to make the food healthier.
#2 Reason
The food doesn’t have enough nutritional value in the first place, so government organizations make the food companies fortify the product with nutrients.

In both scenarios, these are not foods you ideally do not want to consume.

I’d estimate that nearly 80-90% of the patients who come to me have trouble sleeping at night.

When I take their health history, there is often an underlying root cause that never gets addressed.

When we fix it, their sleep improves.

THREAD Image
Essentially, your brain is in charge of how you sleep.

The better your brain functions, the better you sleep.

But what most people don’t realize is the function of your brain has a direct correlation to the function of your gut.
In fact, the gut is often called “The 2nd Brain”.

Why is that?

Because 70-80% of the neurological hormones your brain uses, are made in your gut.

For your brain to be able to go to sleep, you need these hormones.

Imagine a free habit that can be done in 2 minutes a day that provides:

•Less Anxiety
•Less Depression
•Better Metabolism
•Increased Immunity
•Boosted Metabolism

Sound too good to be true?

It’s not.

I’ll explain.

THREAD Image
What I aim to do is show you the MANY benefits of this simple habit, and with overwhelming proof hopefully influence you to begin taking up the habit daily to better your life.

If you do, I know it will improve your life in so many ways!
For years I have promoted “an attitude of gratitude” to my patients.

There are so many benefits to this simple, free habit.

Unfortunately for many, and attitude of gratitude does not come naturally.

The 3 root causes I see most commonly with patients’ health problems are:

•Increased Systemic Inflammation
•Insulin Resistance
•Gut Dysfunction

These lead to SO many health issues.

Today, I am going to focus on gut dysfunction.

THREAD Image
Early in clinical practice, I underestimated the importance of proper gut function in human health.

Then about 15-16 years ago, I had my own gut issues.

I had to figure out for myself, because none of the traditional treatments were helping.
A colleague gave me a book by Mark Hyman, M.D.

I read it.

It made sense and it “clicked”.
