Disease Expert: "Your Body Is Warning You!" - Spot This Before it's Too Late - Dr. Sara Gottfried (Video)

In this 17 July 2024 video, host Dhru Purohit interviews Dr. Sarah Gottfried about the surge in autoimmune conditions and their link to trauma. Dr. Gottfried discusses three factors that can lead to autoimmune conditions, symptoms indicating a condition, and the progression timeline of these symptoms. She also examines research findings on metabolic dysfunction and autoimmunity, along with traits observed in individuals who do not develop autoimmune conditions. Additionally, Dr. Gottfried highlights the benefits of adopting an elimination diet and using objective tools to measure the body’s reaction to stressors, clearly assessing what truly supports or harms the body.

Autoimmune conditions are on the rise, driven by various environmental factors. One often overlooked contributor? Trauma. Today’s guest sheds light on how trauma influences the body to attack itself, triggering autoimmune diseases.
