This video explains that autoimmune diseases are on the rise and are often misunderstood. It introduces a "triangle of health" model, which looks at how chemical, physical, and mental factors all play a role in activating genes that can lead to autoimmune conditions. The speaker emphasizes that focusing on the root causes through a functional medicine approach, rather than just treating symptoms, can lead to better health and even recovery by addressing lifestyle and environmental factors.
Key Takeaways
1
The rate of autoimmune diseases is rapidly increasing, and many people may be undiagnosed.
2
Autoimmune diseases are often a signal of weakness in the body's defenses and can target specific organs or the entire body.
3
Understanding and addressing the root causes of autoimmune diseases, rather than just managing symptoms, is crucial for effective treatment and involves examining lifelong medical and lifestyle history.
4
The 'triangle of health' model for autoimmunity considers chemical (diet, toxins, gut health), physical (activity, body mechanics), and mental (stress, mindset) influences on gene activation.
5
Functional medicine differs from conventional medicine by focusing on identifying and addressing underlying causes to provide comprehensive and effective treatment, empowering patients to take control of their health.
6
Many common medications used for chronic conditions can lead to nutrient deficiencies, which can further weaken the immune system and counteract treatment goals.
7
Toxins like pesticides, GMOs, heavy metals, and chemicals in daily products significantly contribute to health complications and autoimmune conditions, but exposure can be reduced by making conscious lifestyle choices.
8
Gut health is critical to overall health and immunity, with 70-80% of the immune system residing in the gut, and proper balance of gut bacteria is essential to prevent inflammation and autoimmune flare-ups.
9
Physical activity is vital for health, as a sedentary lifestyle can lead to a cycle of muscle loss and increased joint pain, while exercise can stimulate rebuilding and improve overall well-being.
10
The emotional component, including mindset and stress management, is a powerful and often overlooked aspect of health that significantly impacts the ability to recover from autoimmune conditions.

okay welcome to my webinar series where
0:07
we take a deeper dive into
0:10
maintaining health in the 21st century
0:13
we have challenges like we have never
0:15
known before so this program a little
0:17
disclaimer first this program is for
0:19
education only if you have a condition
0:22
you need to discuss it with your medical
0:24
provider
0:25
but all about autoimmune the rate of
0:28
autoimmune disease along with other
0:30
chronic diseases
0:31
is skyrocketing and it's expected to
0:34
continue
0:36
and this just really doesn't have to be
0:38
i'm going to give you my insight based
0:40
on evidence-based research
0:42
and the wisdom and knowledge from the
0:43
last 5000 years i'm going to give you
0:45
the tools to have health vitality and
0:48
longevity free tools but you have to use
0:51
these tools to be healthy
0:54
you don't
0:55
accomplish anything if you leave the
0:57
tools in the toolbox and i know that
0:59
changes can be a little hard at times
1:03
and it takes work but disease is a heck
1:05
of a lot harder i'm going to be
1:06
recording this webinar
1:08
and
1:10
you can watch it anytime you want you go
1:11
to my website dev4.com and it will be
1:14
there so you can share it with others
1:16
read it listen to it again yourself
1:17
that's fine you know i'm going to try to
1:19
take
1:20
questions at the end i can't read and
1:23
talk at the same time so i'm going to
1:25
just take all the questions at the end
1:27
and uh
1:29
we will cover everything i promise you
1:32
okay
1:34
just doesn't want to
1:37
okay
1:41
all righty so according to the national
1:43
institute of health
1:44
23.5 million americans are suffering
1:47
symptoms
1:48
due to some sort of autoimmune disease
1:50
but some people think that number is
1:53
closer to 50 million a lot of people
1:56
going undiagnosed and that's just not
1:58
right a recent review of literature
2:00
concluded that worldwide rates of
2:03
rheumatic endocrinological
2:06
gastrointestinal neurological
2:07
autoimmunes are on the increase by four
2:09
to seven percent every single year with
2:13
the most significant increases in celiac
2:16
disease myasthenia gravis type one
2:18
diabetes rheumatoid arthritis psoriasis
2:20
and all sorts of inflammatory bowel
2:22
disease there are over 100 different
2:25
types of autoimmune diseases and that
2:27
list is growing every year that
2:29
information may sound a little grave
2:32
but i want to know there's hope immune
2:34
system is the body's defense against
2:37
harmful pathogens
2:39
and an autoimmune disease may just be
2:42
signaling a weakness in the defenses
2:45
some of these autoimmune diseases target
2:46
only one organ like with diabetes type 1
2:50
it could be just the pancreas well with
2:51
other conditions like lupus that affects
2:53
the entire body
2:55
while the cause of autoimmune disease
2:58
is
2:59
widely unknown data is suggesting women
3:02
are much more susceptible and certain
3:05
ethnic groups are more susceptible to
3:07
autoimmune disease diet infections
3:10
chemical exposure they all play a
3:12
significant role in the underlying cause
3:16
in order to truly understand autoimmune
3:19
disease it's necessary to
3:21
really examine all these potential
3:24
underlying causes and
3:26
get to the root cause rather than just
3:28
manage the symptoms
3:30
that usually is done with a real
3:32
in-depth look at your lifelong medical
3:35
and lifestyle history and to understand
3:38
and examine your particular condition
3:40
from all angles
3:42
it can be and probably is due to
3:45
exposures maybe your grandmother
3:47
had not just your mother but your
3:49
grandmother because research suggests
3:51
changes can go two three four
3:54
generations back so you may need to have
3:57
detective hat on to get to the root
3:59
cause but i want you to know there is
4:02
hope
4:03
so we're going to look at it like a
4:06
triangle
4:08
triangle of health
4:09
and and that is going to be
4:11
all the different inputs into your genes
4:14
the base is your genes all 23 000 of
4:17
them each of these are inherited by your
4:20
parents and are present your whole life
4:23
however they're not necessarily noticed
4:26
until some other factor activates them
4:28
the genes can be turned on or turned off
4:31
much like a light switch by what you
4:34
know you can visualize as different
4:35
points on this health triangle so you've
4:37
got the chemical self
4:39
the physical self and then the mental
4:41
self
4:43
these will make more sense as we discuss
4:45
these components of your health further
4:48
but
4:49
you know as functional nutrition doctor
4:52
you
4:53
need to look at the entire triangle
4:56
everything in the entirety
4:59
so this autoimmune matrix is what we
5:02
kind of refer to it as the triangle of
5:04
health reflects
5:06
autoimmune diseases caused by imbalances
5:09
in chemical physical or mental
5:10
influences turn it on and off that
5:13
switch
5:15
like a light switch on or off these are
5:17
how our genes are impacted by the
5:19
environment everything around you it's
5:21
what we call epigenetics in other words
5:24
autoimmunity is bred by lifestyle
5:27
choices and behavior
5:29
like just about all disease it's also
5:31
important to know that each one of these
5:33
elements can interact with the other for
5:36
example
5:37
if we're not tending to our physical
5:39
self our chemical self may react and
5:42
vice versa heaven knows the emotionless
5:44
weather
5:46
fortunately this means that they can
5:48
also be addressed the same way our
5:50
influences chemically physically and
5:52
mentally can determine our health to be
5:55
either compromised or optimized well it
5:58
can kind of sound a little scary it's
6:00
equally empowering and i'm giving you
6:02
these tools now so you can
6:05
feel empowered and instill a lot of hope
6:08
for all of those suffering from
6:10
autoimmune conditions
6:13
i'd have to say the failure in modern
6:16
medicine
6:18
is mostly due to the fact conventional
6:20
doctors today may solely focus on
6:23
chemical components using medication
6:26
endless ways to influence
6:29
this standard of care
6:31
artificially manipulating inflammation
6:34
vital hormones and many of the other
6:36
essential chemical processes within the
6:38
body many times an unexpected or
6:42
undesirable side effect can come about
6:45
by those medications it's all done with
6:47
the one goal to cover up the symptoms
6:50
on the other hand in functional medicine
6:53
we like to look at addressing the
6:56
underlying cause to ensure a more
6:58
comprehensive and effective treatment
7:00
covering up the symptoms should never be
7:02
considered or disguised as a cure
7:05
you know and they work well together
7:07
they need to work well together and do
7:09
you know anybody who has rheumatoid
7:10
arthritis for example one of my closest
7:12
friends had this and it's one of the
7:14
most common autoimmune disorders
7:17
and i'm going to be using an example of
7:18
this on how functional medicine treats
7:21
it versus traditional medicine
7:23
you know rheumatoid arthritis the hands
7:26
the feets the wrists the ankles needs
7:28
all the joints commonly affected and
7:31
during flare-ups these joints can become
7:34
very inflamed and painful standard
7:37
medical treatment for rheumatoid
7:38
arthritis primarily involves the use of
7:41
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
7:44
nsaids
7:45
functional medicine on the other hand
7:48
addresses many additional contributing
7:51
factors including poor digestion
7:55
food allergies increased gut
7:57
permeability toxin stress increasing
8:00
circulating immune complex and excessive
8:04
inflammatory processes
8:06
so the functional approach in medicine
8:09
is considered around the individual
8:11
patient
8:12
versus the disease
8:15
practitioners see health problems as a
8:17
reaction to dysfunctions within the body
8:20
rather than just an isolated issue
8:23
this approach
8:24
is is kind of revolutionary i guess in
8:27
the modern medical field but it really
8:29
empowers the patients to feel they
8:32
better understand the imbalances and how
8:34
these imbalances can really affect their
8:37
health and the solutions available to
8:39
support the natural normal healing
8:42
mechanisms within the body instead of
8:44
being powerless
8:46
it gives you some control over your
8:48
future health when this is applied to
8:50
autoimmune conditions and complications
8:53
people are astonished by the improvement
8:55
in their health if not complete recovery
8:58
the most powerful tools for reducing
9:00
debilitary debilitating symptoms for
9:03
rheumatoid arthritis and other
9:04
autoimmune conditions are going to be
9:06
diet and lifestyle factors things that
9:09
you can control for example
9:12
some uh with rheumatoid arthritis
9:14
there's a lot of studies that examine
9:17
the nutritional benefits of
9:20
fish oil especially that epa
9:23
and turmeric the extract of turmeric
9:25
curcumin bcm 95 to naturally help reduce
9:29
inflammation through a lot of different
9:31
pathways not just one and that's
9:33
important of course that's only part of
9:35
the solution so let's look at the
9:38
chemical self okay the one side of the
9:41
triangle
9:42
you know it's part of the solution the
9:44
chemical components of health one side
9:46
of that triangle
9:48
is going to be the majority about what
9:49
we talk about today
9:51
but it's for good reason because
9:53
chemistry in this sense refers to
9:56
anything that is entering the body
9:58
that can be
10:00
little things big things like your food
10:03
different vitamins
10:05
minerals waters but then also pesticides
10:09
preservatives
10:10
dyes
10:12
but so much more other environmental
10:14
factors that you may also have control
10:17
over are going to be exposures to
10:20
bacteria
10:21
parasites all of these things that are
10:24
impacting from the outside can be toxins
10:27
can be allergens and other
10:30
microorganisms mold common theme
10:33
throughout the triangle of health is
10:35
your control the chemical self
10:38
is influenced by what enters your body
10:41
and in turn the chemical influences on
10:43
your gene activation at the bottom of
10:46
that triangle studies show that genetic
10:49
disposition may account for a small
10:51
portion of autoimmune disease while at
10:54
least
10:55
70 percent is due to the environmental
10:57
factors including these toxic chemicals
11:00
these dietary components also gut
11:02
imbalances and those infections as part
11:05
of the chemical side of the triangle i
11:07
love the saying that your genetics may
11:10
load the gun
11:11
but the environmental factors are what
11:14
pulls the trigger and i've seen this in
11:16
my own genetics all the things that
11:19
could present me with challenges
11:23
should be my strengths
11:26
are areas in my environment that have
11:28
challenged me genetically i should be
11:30
much heavier i should have cholesterol
11:32
problems and i should have trouble with
11:33
inflammation
11:35
none of these things are true for me
11:37
because of epigenetics you know how you
11:40
live your life according to your genetic
11:43
nature
11:44
nature is much more impactful it seems
11:48
so environmental track factors can turn
11:51
your genes on
11:52
so that you can express
11:54
certain outcomes
11:56
some common environmental factors we've
11:58
talked about could be food intolerances
12:00
big ones are going to be gluten but also
12:02
dairy soy corn and other grains hidden
12:06
infections such as parasites fungus
12:09
pathogenic bacteria and viruses mainly
12:12
in the gut but also in the bloodstream
12:14
and and really mold is a huge problem
12:18
what it can do to our genetic expression
12:21
we need to be paying attention to but
12:24
there's also chemicals heavy metals
12:26
pesticide exposure
12:28
decreased levels of antioxidants like
12:30
glutathione
12:32
hyper and hypoglycemia hormone
12:35
imbalances figuring out what kinds of
12:37
environmental triggers can that can be
12:39
compromising your immune system is
12:41
something you should and your healthcare
12:44
provider should be discussing together
12:46
to identify these potential causes of
12:50
your symptoms so putting on that
12:52
detective cap
12:54
is really really very important when it
12:57
comes to
12:58
explaining the chemical component so up
13:00
next we're going to talk about
13:03
common chemical nutrient uh deficiencies
13:09
so top nutrient deficiencies in the
13:11
words of dr osborne the importance of
13:14
nutrition can't be ignored it's
13:16
absolutely critical an
13:20
nutrients such as vitamins minerals
13:22
amino acids carbohydrates fats are
13:24
necessary for the proper functioning of
13:26
every cell each has its own job and
13:29
everyone's needs are specific to their
13:31
own health one thing to consider is the
13:35
why behind deficiencies it may be due to
13:38
not consuming enough of those foods that
13:41
contain them it could be impaired gut
13:44
function
13:45
or the result of an existing autoimmune
13:47
condition the most common nutrient
13:49
deficiencies we see in practice
13:52
not limited to these but they definitely
13:54
include vitamin d deficiencies vitamin
13:57
b12 deficiency omega-3 fatty acid
14:00
deficiencies and believe it or not play
14:02
more water
14:04
unfortunately the conventional
14:06
procedure for measuring these levels is
14:09
serum testing
14:11
serum testing can be incredibly limiting
14:14
because it doesn't take into account the
14:16
fluctuations of vitamin content
14:19
throughout the day
14:20
or just around meals and a good serum
14:23
lab testing
14:24
even though it may be good it may not be
14:26
a good indicator of the storage of those
14:28
nutrients the sustained levels of their
14:31
nutrients or correct deficiencies after
14:33
digestion it's an important conversation
14:36
to have with your doctor and you know if
14:37
there's the only test being offered to
14:39
you there are other
14:41
better tests that are going to really
14:43
test absorption and utilization of
14:45
nutrients later in this presentation
14:47
we're going to be reviewing some
14:49
recommended testing procedures but first
14:51
let's take a look at some of these
14:53
deficiencies first of all vitamin d
14:57
i've heard a lot about that in the last
14:59
year
15:00
rightly so
15:01
most immune cells
15:03
have a specific receptor for vitamin d
15:07
and that modulates activity doesn't turn
15:10
it on doesn't turn it off it just
15:12
regulates it
15:13
no surprise that clear connections have
15:16
been found between a lot of autoimmune
15:18
diseases and this deficiency a few of
15:21
those type 1 diabetes
15:23
rheumatoid arthritis and multiple
15:25
sclerosis those are
15:27
very closely affected some common foods
15:30
that may be high in vitamin d include
15:32
wild caught salmon and tuna
15:35
however
15:36
due to intense pollution of mercury in
15:39
our oceans we need to kind of curtail
15:42
the intake of seafood
15:44
a lot of mercury and especially in the
15:45
bigger fish but you get some in eggs
15:47
some and mushrooms fortified foods the
15:50
most abundant source of vitamin d is
15:53
from direct sunlight
15:55
not during the winter only during the
15:57
summer yet we're advised to limit our
15:59
time in the sun wear uv blocking
16:02
sunscreen wear hats long sleeves however
16:05
with vitamin d being an immune modulator
16:09
that is so important for your immune
16:11
system function and that in turn helps
16:14
to prevent autoimmune disease and so
16:16
many other benefits that we continue to
16:19
discover with every bit of research
16:21
that's being done we're truly designed
16:23
to live outside so this recommendation
16:26
may easily be taken too far
16:29
supplementation is almost essential
16:32
okay so then medications and
16:35
deficiencies so many people are on
16:37
medicines okay
16:38
common medications used to treat
16:40
autoimmune disease can actually cause
16:44
vitamin and mineral deficiencies and in
16:46
turn
16:47
hurt the immune system so you can see
16:48
how that's really counterproductive you
16:51
know
16:52
you deserve to know the medicines that
16:54
you've been described make prescribed
16:56
may be causing deficiencies so you can
16:59
take appropriate supplements when needed
17:01
and for your reference please consider
17:04
the following
17:05
information just information
17:08
really more in-depth studies should be
17:10
done on your own system but for blood
17:13
pressure
17:15
medications can commonly have uh cause
17:18
deficiencies in b1 b6 vitamin c
17:20
magnesium calcium potassium zinc sodium
17:23
coq10 and melatonin okay
17:26
common cholesterol medications can cause
17:29
the following deficiencies vitamin a b2
17:32
b6 b12 dek folate beta keratin iron and
17:37
coq10
17:39
common diabetic medication
17:42
some of these deficiencies may occur
17:44
depending on the medicine b12 folate and
17:48
coq10
17:49
common anti-inflammatory medications
17:52
can cause deficiencies in a c d b12
17:57
folic acid potassium iron magnesium and
18:00
zinc
18:01
for common heartburn medication okay
18:04
it's turning down that stomach acid
18:06
preventing absorption farther on that
18:09
can cause deficiencies in d
18:11
d12 folate beta keratin calcium iron
18:15
zinc and magnesium to start with common
18:19
hormone replacement therapy following
18:21
deficiencies can occur b2
18:24
b1 b6 b12c folate magnesium zinc and
18:29
selenium
18:31
sometimes a good multivitamin can cover
18:33
most of these but note that this doesn't
18:36
go for all medications but just a
18:39
general guideline above all it's most
18:41
important to have proper testing done to
18:44
ensure that you're getting the right
18:46
treatment that you need and getting the
18:48
nutrients that your body
18:51
is
18:52
if you don't have them it's like trying
18:54
to fight a battle with one arm behind
18:55
your hand
18:56
so continuing on with the chemistry part
18:59
of the triangle we have to look at the
19:01
intake of toxins and the toxin overload
19:05
so we're exposed toxins every day
19:08
and many are completely unavoidable
19:11
but you can certainly greatly reduce
19:14
your exposure you know so these include
19:17
but aren't limited to pesticides
19:20
gmos which are full of glyphosate
19:24
roundup that destroys your gut flora our
19:27
microbiome air pollution
19:30
especially where there have been lots of
19:31
fires you know or chemical plants heavy
19:35
metals like lead mercury arsenic cadmium
19:38
everywhere
19:40
chemical contaminants in general air
19:42
water food household cleaners or
19:45
cosmetics these toxins can be the
19:49
absolute cause for many health
19:51
complications
19:52
you know just just fatigue they can
19:55
cause just plain fatigue by affecting
19:57
your mitochondria muscle aches joint
20:00
pain sinus congestion even just plain
20:03
post nasal drip headaches bloating and
20:07
of course
20:08
autoimmunity so to reduce and prevent
20:10
this toxic overload there are some real
20:13
simple ways that you can minimize
20:15
exposure
20:16
eat only organic non-gmo foods more
20:20
important all the time 100 years ago
20:23
all food was organic you didn't need to
20:26
designate it organic
20:28
air purification systems
20:30
research says that in general we spend
20:32
93 percent of our time indoors that air
20:36
better be pure
20:38
water filters essential
20:40
toxin-free household cleaning items you
20:43
can go to the
20:44
ewg.org website or the skin deep app
20:48
environmental working group provides
20:50
amazing research for us that we really
20:53
need to educate ourselves with you know
20:55
there are some lab tests
20:57
and follow-up maintenance lucky there
21:00
are ways to monitor nutrient
21:02
deficiencies
21:03
toxin buildup and physical imbalances
21:06
just on general chemistry so some of the
21:09
normal ones that they don't have to be
21:11
fancy functional
21:13
lab tests however we can do those but
21:15
you want to know the lymphocyte
21:16
proliferation this test is for nutrient
21:20
storage versus what's simply found in
21:22
the blood and serum this is a much more
21:24
concrete measure in the sense that it
21:26
doesn't change as frequently as the
21:29
results from other tests do then another
21:31
one iodine loading test this measures
21:34
your iodine status and possible
21:37
deficiency
21:38
vitamin d testing essential do you live
21:41
in the northern latitude oh my gosh if
21:44
you don't supplement you're going to be
21:45
deficient we just don't get because of
21:47
the angle of radiation a million other
21:49
things
21:50
iron panel with ferritin the important
21:53
part here is ferritin be sure to request
21:55
this as
21:57
you know this is really the primary part
21:59
of the um iron testing also just a plain
22:02
cbc
22:03
complete blood count it's the most
22:05
comprehensive blood test for assessing
22:07
anemia and the functioning of many
22:10
systems within your body a biggie here
22:13
homocysteine
22:14
that is an indirect marker of
22:16
nutritional status of b2 b6 b12 and
22:20
folate really important for
22:23
cancer for cardiovascular and then
22:25
hemoglobin a1c average of blood sugar
22:29
over 12 weeks
22:30
c-reactive protein protein crp is
22:33
usually
22:35
abbreviated that's an identical
22:37
identifiable marker for systemic
22:40
inflammation
22:40
and finally insulin
22:43
insulin affects the body in so many ways
22:45
above all that's going to measure the
22:48
stress on the pancreas going to show
22:50
insulin resistance and that is a very
22:53
important marker so that you can avoid a
22:56
lot of chronic diseases if you don't
22:58
have a doctor you can go to the website
23:02
request a test.com and order just about
23:05
any test that you want and personally
23:08
you get the results you order uh you
23:11
need to know these numbers to be
23:12
proactive in your health if you don't
23:14
test you don't know if you need help let
23:17
me know and i can hook you up
23:21
gut all righty also known as the gateway
23:25
to health you know we cannot talk about
23:28
autoimmune problems or any health
23:31
problem without addressing the gut like
23:33
hippocrates said it starts in the gut so
23:36
to properly diagnose nutrient
23:38
deficiencies or most complications in
23:40
general it's important to rule out any
23:42
issues associated with gut functioning
23:44
if your gut isn't functioning properly
23:47
if you have leaky gut like i talked
23:48
about in another webinar it is unlikely
23:51
your body is going to be able to absorb
23:54
the nutrients
23:55
therefore even eating the best foods or
23:58
taking the best supplements may make a
24:00
little difference and you may become
24:02
frustrated because lack of improvement
24:04
so we know the gut
24:06
is the tube where the outside world
24:09
meets the inside but some of the
24:11
functions include of course digestion
24:14
absorption but also hormone regulation
24:17
vitamin production detoxification
24:21
and mood
24:22
management
24:24
did you know that your gut contains 95
24:28
of your body's serotonin
24:31
that's why we kind of talk about the gut
24:33
as being the second brain
24:35
comprised of trillions of bacteria it
24:39
may also contain oh a hundred million
24:43
neurons
24:44
more than the spinal cord and the
24:47
peripheral new nervous system collection
24:49
of these neurons
24:51
help us to feel
24:53
the world with our gut
24:55
okay that means when something's off
24:58
with your gut that signals are sent to
25:00
your brain
25:00
and that can affect our emotion since
25:03
our guts equipped with its own reflex
25:05
and senses it can control behavior
25:09
entirely independent of the brain it's
25:12
actually found that a lot of information
25:14
is carried from the gut to the brain not
25:16
the other way around it's thought we
25:18
evolved with this really intricate
25:20
connection to the gut in the brain as a
25:23
way to quickly determine whether the
25:25
food we ate was safe or if it needed to
25:27
be avoided and then that it kind of
25:30
evolved to the rest of our environment
25:33
so
25:34
aside from alerting the brain about
25:35
whether foods are good or bad for us the
25:37
second brain informs our state of mind
25:40
in other ways you know you've felt those
25:42
butterflies or you've had a gut instinct
25:46
that's part of your physiological stress
25:48
response
25:50
so you may be thinking what does this
25:51
have to do with autoimmunity
25:53
everything
25:55
well a lot anyway because almost all
25:58
autoimmune conditions have depression
26:01
listed as a common symptom well there
26:03
are several reasons this can be the case
26:05
that gut brain connection holds its case
26:08
as an important factor for both physical
26:12
and emotional health autoimmune or not
26:15
so changing your diet can not only
26:17
affect you physically but also
26:19
psychologically
26:21
listen to your gut
26:23
the best advice
26:25
okay above all the goal the gut sole
26:28
purpose is to ensure that we're
26:30
absorbing
26:32
and making the good
26:33
within
26:35
and getting rid of the bad stuff or the
26:37
stuff that's been used up and needs to
26:39
be eliminated you know if this balance
26:42
is disrupted major health complications
26:44
can occur
26:46
the body's bacteria
26:49
10 times the genetic
26:51
material of the bacteria in our body
26:53
than in our own human cells and the
26:56
majority of them are housed in our
26:58
digestive tract you know the gut health
27:00
truly the gateway to health for
27:03
so many reasons that we continue to
27:06
study and learn every day thousands and
27:09
thousands of research product projects
27:12
are going on so the gut firewall
27:15
you know our gut has a lot of defenses
27:17
because it's where the outside world
27:19
meets the inside world so it has to work
27:21
right so first of all it's called the
27:23
gut associated lymphatic tissue we call
27:26
it the gult
27:28
this is the body's immune system in fact
27:31
70 to 80 percent of the entire immune
27:34
system
27:34
is in the gold
27:36
second the tight junctions
27:39
these are small proteins that are
27:41
responsible for holding up the guts
27:43
cells together we'll talk more about
27:45
that later third mucosal iga otherwise
27:48
known as immunoglobulin a
27:50
and that is the antibody considered to
27:52
be our first line of defense against
27:54
toxins and then we have the friendly
27:56
bacteria friendly bacteria
27:59
more of them like i say than we have in
28:01
our own and they communicate with that
28:04
gulp
28:05
and warn us of potential danger
28:08
and primarily where it first starts is
28:11
essential stomach acid that is the
28:14
beginning of everything if you don't
28:16
have right the right stomach acid
28:18
everything is thrown off
28:20
all of these barriers so really do work
28:23
together um to provide a healthy gut and
28:27
in turn healthy immunity if you don't
28:29
have proper stomach acid
28:30
if you don't have tight junctions if you
28:32
don't have the gold if you don't have
28:34
the cigare you are not going to be
28:37
healthy
28:38
so many things
28:40
can damage the gut
28:43
standard american diet we abbreviate it
28:46
s-a-d
28:48
very inflammatory we've talked about
28:49
that in other webinars you might want to
28:51
go back to and review
28:53
chemicals pesticides herbicides heavy
28:56
metals food dyes gmos glyphosate
28:59
and
29:00
microbial trans glutamate
29:04
glutamines okay infections bacterial
29:06
viral parasitic yeast overgrowth you
29:08
know lots of fungus out there
29:11
other things gluten and other grains
29:13
food allergies excessive medications
29:15
even too much of a good thing
29:17
like aggressive exercise can be
29:20
damaging chronic stress can be damages
29:23
these are some of the main components
29:25
for the cause of leaky gut a harmful
29:27
condition and it's got a gazillion
29:30
health complications highly recommend
29:32
going back and listening to that webinar
29:35
but in a nutshell how the gut gets leaky
29:39
the the gut lining
29:42
is one cell thick
29:44
and you've got these little tight
29:46
junctions
29:47
that
29:49
is between the intestinal wall and the
29:51
rest of the body when they swell and
29:53
they open up the that maybe from
29:55
irritation uh bacteria chemicals toxins
29:59
then the out the
30:02
ingredients the components in the
30:04
digestive tract leaks into the body and
30:07
this signals a flood of autoimmune
30:09
antibodies that create allergic reaction
30:12
and this cycle continues and ultimately
30:14
can lead to autoimmunity that gut
30:17
contains essential ecosystem of both
30:20
bacterial
30:21
beneficial and harmful bacteria so it's
30:24
really the balance of the good and the
30:25
bad
30:27
when that gets out of balance illness
30:28
begins to arise and there's an imbalance
30:31
in that gut bacteria increasing
30:32
inflammation in the body which
30:34
predisposes you to autoimmune flare-ups
30:37
so therefore everything you can do to
30:40
support the proper balance of that gut
30:42
bacteria is essential so thank goodness
30:45
there's a lot you can do eating foods
30:48
like garlic and onions and asparagus and
30:51
apples are
30:52
examples of prebiotic fiber foods that
30:56
stimulate and enhance the growth of
30:58
probiotics so an apple a day may be
31:01
really good advice
31:02
so these foods need to be balanced with
31:05
probiotics or fermented foods like miso
31:09
sauerkraut kimchi keeper kombucha and
31:12
organic yogurt those are going to
31:14
encourage the beneficial bacteria
31:17
the old saying don't eat anything your
31:19
great grandmother wouldn't recognize his
31:21
foods there are many foods out there
31:23
like food like foods fake foods franken
31:27
foods in the supermarket your ancestors
31:30
would not recognize as food
31:33
stay away from these says michael poland
31:35
one of my favorite food activists your
31:37
immune system becomes activated when
31:39
your body recognizes something foreign
31:43
that is triggering a process called
31:45
inflammation
31:46
even foreign foods
31:50
autoimmune disease is a condition and
31:52
where your immune system gets confused
31:55
and attacks your body like it's a
31:57
foreign invader so it makes sense
32:00
that
32:00
reducing inflammation
32:02
reducing those foods that cause it
32:05
and increasing anti-inflammatory foods
32:08
can help you lessen inflammation that
32:11
could create autoimmune conditions and
32:14
it really lessens
32:15
all the body's confusion so you've got a
32:17
whole food diet consistent non-processed
32:20
foods you've got fruits and vegetables
32:22
and tubers and whole grains and legumes
32:25
nutrient dense meaning they're packed
32:27
with a lot of vitamins and minerals no
32:29
empty calories
32:31
and they reduce inflammation additional
32:33
foods you may want to think about
32:35
healthy fats
32:37
coconut products coconut oil olive oil
32:40
excellent fermented foods such as
32:42
kombucha dairy-free kefir fermented
32:45
vegetables you might even want to
32:47
experiment with fermenting some of your
32:48
own and then vinegars including balsamic
32:51
red wine vinegar apple cider vinegar so
32:54
long as they don't have added sugar
32:56
those are really good for the gut also
32:58
herbs and spices
33:00
bone broth
33:01
on the other hand of the spectrum the
33:03
stuff you really need to stay away from
33:05
on a regular basis
33:07
because they can cause low-grade
33:09
inflammation sugar
33:11
boy oh boy that is the worst and that
33:13
was my you know did a whole webinar on
33:15
that but sugar not only causes low-grade
33:18
inflammation excess body fat which is
33:20
also like to inflammation but that's why
33:23
processed foods refined grains which
33:25
brings out sugar anyway and added sugar
33:29
should be really restricted if not
33:32
entirely avoided
33:34
i do highly recommend my first webinar
33:37
the case against sugar and you can find
33:39
that on my website
33:42
a brilliant inventor who knew
33:44
that we couldn't reinvent proper health
33:47
thomas edison yeah he said the doctor of
33:50
the future will no longer treat the
33:52
human frame with drugs but rather cure
33:55
and prevent disease with nutrition
33:58
so your future health could be as close
34:02
as your fork
34:04
i want you to know that there are
34:06
certain medications that it's it's
34:09
crucial to be aware of the potential
34:11
risk over-the-counter medication
34:14
could be contributing to an unhealthy
34:16
gut
34:17
creating more pain and misery than
34:19
helping
34:20
it's likely that if you're suffering
34:22
from chronic pain you're in the habit of
34:24
grabbing those over-the-counter
34:26
painkillers that help with aches pains
34:28
and soreness
34:29
you know besides the bottle describe
34:31
these pills as anti-inflammatory
34:34
you're trying to fight inflammation
34:35
right
34:37
painkillers may be useful in moderation
34:40
but if you take too many
34:42
they can cause
34:44
gastritis which is another form of
34:46
inflammation
34:47
irritation or erosion of the lining of
34:50
the stomach in extreme cases that can
34:53
result in internal bleeding and require
34:56
surgery and blood transfusions as you
34:58
can imagine this irritation of the
35:00
stomach lining can cause damage to the
35:02
gut which is going to make you feel
35:04
worse overall what about your liver what
35:06
about your kidneys what about your blood
35:08
vessels
35:09
can they be causing other problems
35:11
research says yes and a lot of them have
35:14
been removed from the market so try
35:17
making lifestyle changes to improve your
35:19
health okay so if you're using
35:22
medications talk with your doctor about
35:24
some alternatives
35:25
my favorite is curement extra strength
35:28
it's got that bcm 95 extract from
35:32
turmeric and now they have a newer one
35:34
called acute pain relief it's helped
35:36
people get off of damaging medications
35:39
and there are so many additional health
35:42
benefits of curcumin i could do a whole
35:44
webinar on them alone cancer dementia
35:48
arthritis digestive disorders aches and
35:50
pains and and sprains it works in over
35:54
300 different pathways in the body
35:56
helping you to create and maintain
35:57
health number one supplement i do it
36:00
every day and it is the number one i
36:02
think for health vitality and longevity
36:05
if i had to choose
36:07
so let's look at some common drugs and
36:09
their side effects
36:11
you know antibiotics they're going to
36:12
destroy the good bacteria needed for
36:14
digestion and vitamin synthesis
36:17
and they also increase your risk of
36:20
yeast overgrowth ask a lot of women
36:23
after they've been on an antibiotic they
36:25
get a yeast infection also certain pain
36:28
medications have been found to erode
36:30
like we said the stomach lining the
36:32
small intestine causing ulcers and
36:34
bleeding
36:36
acid reflux medications to go a little
36:38
deeper
36:39
can block stomach acid and then that's
36:43
going to hinder the digestion and
36:44
absorption of just about everything
36:47
leading to multiple
36:49
nutrient deficiencies and potentially
36:51
osteoporosis and antidepressants
36:54
negatively affect the neurotransmitters
36:56
in the gut
36:58
another thing we got to watch out for is
37:00
gluten damage
37:02
gluten was the first medically proven
37:06
cause of autoimmunity in 1952 by a dr
37:09
william dickey
37:11
since then tons of research backed this
37:14
up gluten allergies and sensitivities
37:17
have been increasingly more common
37:19
however recent research is implying that
37:22
gluten can cause adverse health effects
37:24
in people that don't even have celiac my
37:27
favorite italian researcher is alessio
37:31
dr alessio fazano
37:34
fantastic research out of hardwood
37:36
harvard came from italy to harvard and
37:39
he's been doing so much research on
37:42
gluten
37:43
okay because gluten increases intestinal
37:45
permeability and it breaks down the
37:48
lining of the intestinal
37:51
gut hello leaky gut then the antibodies
37:54
are initially produced to attack gliadin
37:56
one of gluten's building blocks and that
37:59
leeches out of the digestive tract into
38:01
the bloodstream the body creates
38:04
reacts by creating inflammatory
38:06
chemicals as a defense mechanism however
38:09
the body becomes unable to differentiate
38:12
between gluten
38:14
as the invader and the body's healthy
38:16
tissues that's why we start calling it
38:18
autoimmunity
38:20
any autoimmunity any condition i we
38:24
ditch gluten
38:27
but then there are other food allergies
38:29
some of the most common are are going to
38:31
be other food allergies uh medication
38:34
allergies surgical implant allergies
38:37
where you're allergic to the metal or
38:39
the compounds in a dental or joint
38:42
implant you've got lots of chemical
38:44
allergies latex is a common one we know
38:47
of
38:47
mold allergies is huge or even the
38:51
compounds that these molds create
38:54
and allergies or additives to any of the
38:56
above any untreated allergies can cause
38:59
serious health complications
39:01
unfortunately autoimmune as well
39:04
but we can do lots of tests for these i
39:06
mean you can do skin tests you can do
39:08
blood tests you can do lung function
39:10
tests you can do patch testing i love
39:13
food challenges often in the form of the
39:16
elimination diet
39:19
other things in the chemical area we
39:21
gotta be aware of heavy metals
39:24
heavy metals include lead mercury
39:26
cadmium arsenic fluoride found more
39:31
than in just plain toothpaste and
39:33
sealants and dental treatments i'm going
39:34
to talk a little bit more about this
39:36
later but also bromine you get bromine
39:39
in processed oils and flowers and
39:41
chlorine they're all part of the halide
39:43
group of the periodic table these last
39:46
three are really implicated a lot of
39:48
thyroid problems because of the
39:50
relationship to iodine incredibly
39:53
dangerous to your health and immunity
39:56
and unfortunately we are exposed to all
39:58
of these in the air we breathe the water
40:01
we drink and even in the food we eat
40:06
the most alarming way
40:08
toxic metals affect our health is by
40:10
competing
40:11
with
40:12
beneficial minerals by binding to the
40:15
sites on our cells and displacing the
40:17
healthy ones this leads to deficiencies
40:20
regardless of your daily intake so many
40:23
of these can be gradual and therefore
40:25
the accumulation can often be unnoticed
40:28
for extended periods of time
40:31
they're they're all incredibly dangerous
40:33
and need to be avoided the body is not
40:36
good about getting rid of them
40:38
so a little a little bit more in depth
40:41
on the fluoride i was telling you about
40:43
you know it's become increasingly more
40:46
of a predominant issue it's often put in
40:49
public water and it's encouraged a lot
40:52
of our dental routines because it helps
40:55
prevent tooth decay
40:57
yet research suggests that this mass
41:00
exposure can contribute to autoimmune
41:03
thyroid disease brain disease and the
41:06
displacement of
41:09
iodine that is essential for thyroid
41:12
functioning in the production of t4 the
41:15
thyroid hormone thyroxine
41:17
inhibiting the production and
41:19
maintenance of essential thyroid
41:21
hormones truly dangerous and disabling
41:24
consequences so if the thyroid does not
41:27
operate properly you can get a lot of
41:30
complications occurring you know
41:33
adrenal dysfunction
41:34
got more stress hormones or less stress
41:36
hormones fatigue depression
41:38
weight gain muscle aches brain fog poor
41:41
libido and you guessed it
41:43
autoimmunity so much interaction and
41:47
crosstalk between
41:48
the organs and the brain the potential
41:51
complications are endless depending on
41:54
your genetics
41:57
yeah and and
41:59
the environment is is just so critically
42:02
important so a little wrap up on the
42:05
chemistry our health is really a
42:08
combination of the things that get into
42:10
our body between the quality of the food
42:13
we eat our exposures to toxins and our
42:17
body's ability to excrete
42:19
efficiently these chemicals are our
42:22
makeup is directly affected
42:24
so as a functional practitioner i can
42:28
work with you to help to detect and work
42:31
with you to get the proper testing
42:33
develop a comprehensive healing strategy
42:36
and give the support you need and
42:38
deserve maybe to take control of your
42:41
chemical health okay now next on the
42:43
other side is the physical self
42:47
physical self you know that physical
42:49
component to health is a bit more
42:52
straightforward is it something we
42:54
confront every day are you sitting or
42:57
are you moving it encompasses our
42:59
physical activity the integrity of our
43:02
muscles and quite
43:04
literally our body mechanics do you sit
43:07
up straight you have good posture that
43:10
affects everything you know and it's a
43:12
common misconception that as we age our
43:15
health is supposed to decline we hear it
43:17
all the time from our doctors the aging
43:20
process is synonymous the body breaking
43:22
down you're just getting older and
43:24
becoming sick you know this is so very
43:26
wrong
43:28
it may take a little more maintenance
43:30
but so much is because of our choices
43:34
and what we're doing to facilitate this
43:36
breakdown or build up
43:38
it is not
43:40
due
43:41
to a process that's inevitable
43:45
it's not due that you're not able to
43:47
exercise it's more of a choice because
43:49
as we get older maybe you know everybody
43:52
else is just not exercising as much in
43:55
your age group you know exercise
43:57
actually stimulates rebuilding of
43:59
cartilage and joints doesn't wear them
44:01
down helps build them up a sedentary
44:03
lifestyle breeds dangerous cycle of
44:06
health issues muscle atrophy atrophy
44:09
increases that joint pressure decreases
44:12
flexibility escalates pain pain then
44:14
causes us to continue to not exercise
44:17
and that leads to more muscle loss and
44:19
further joints destructions and pain and
44:22
and breakdown you don't want to get old
44:25
and frail and you know what the solution
44:28
is i'm going to say you got to get
44:30
moving find an exercise routine that
44:33
feels right for you you know it's one of
44:35
the most important health decisions you
44:37
can make if you're currently in pain you
44:39
got to start slow and work with a health
44:41
professional to guide you through a
44:43
routine that won't worsen any
44:45
complications
44:47
i'm also a certified health
44:49
fitness professional and an avid
44:52
exerciser myself a mature athlete and i
44:56
can help you devise a safe and enjoyable
44:58
program of fitness as part of the total
45:00
health program
45:06
so to introduce exercise oh go back one
45:13
okay
45:14
so you got to start where you're at you
45:15
don't want to overdo it you got to make
45:17
small changes
45:18
and you determine your individual goals
45:21
create a routine like set a goal for
45:23
doing something every day maybe just
45:25
five minutes of walking and don't give
45:27
up if you don't see immediate results
45:30
good things are happening inside health
45:33
takes time it's a journey not a
45:35
destination and my favorite saying is
45:38
progress not perfection there is no
45:40
perfection practice makes progress in
45:44
everything so some ideas to get moving
45:47
including if it's safe for you bike
45:50
instead of drive
45:52
schedule maybe a post-dinner walk around
45:54
the neighborhood
45:56
dance around when you're doing
45:58
housework or when you're home alone turn
46:00
up the radio and move such fun and fun
46:04
is good for you too
46:06
and maybe take on more active hobbies
46:08
maybe take the stairs maybe park farther
46:10
away in parking lots
46:12
so think about how you are going to
46:15
schedule in movement every day when i
46:16
started back to exercise i just put
46:19
clothes in the laundry hopped on the
46:21
treadmill for five minutes just five
46:23
minutes before long i was doing a little
46:25
bit more
46:26
and that's it just do it that is the
46:29
best advertising phrase i have ever
46:32
heard don't allow your brain to make
46:35
excuses it will so just do it
46:39
next up final side of our triangle of
46:42
health the emotional self
46:45
a powerful side the emotional component
46:48
is
46:50
to health is often ignored
46:53
yet
46:54
it is as important as the rest of the
46:57
triangle in fact
46:58
i think mindset may be the most
47:01
important because without a good mindset
47:04
you are stuck where you're at
47:07
remember that
47:09
if you do not believe you can recover
47:12
it's likely that's going to become your
47:15
reality on the other hand if you're
47:17
hopeful and positive your ability to
47:19
overcome health complications increases
47:23
sustainability norman vincent peale
47:26
read the book power of positive thinking
47:28
henry ford no relation but
47:31
he said if you think you can or you
47:34
think you can't either way you're right
47:37
louise hey she's more our
47:41
everyday one right now
47:43
i wrote the book one of my favorite
47:44
books heal your body it pulls that
47:46
body-mind connection into action so this
47:50
side of the triangle is often what
47:52
people find the hardest unwiring the
47:54
negative
47:56
protective fear-based thoughts and
47:58
they're often designed you know
47:59
initially to keep us safe and feel good
48:02
in the short term but sabotage our
48:04
health if we allow those thoughts to run
48:06
our life long term so for the emotional
48:09
self do what you love enjoy life healthy
48:13
pursuits spend time with people you love
48:15
find things that make you feel relaxed
48:18
manage your stress
48:20
and do things most important of all
48:22
don't forget to love yourself throughout
48:24
the whole process
48:27
sick and tired of being stressed truly a
48:31
chronic state of stress breeds
48:34
especially autoimmunity
48:36
inflammation
48:38
one of the best things you can do is
48:39
learn how to manage stress
48:42
immune system is susceptible to stress
48:46
which can cause and worsen all types of
48:50
diseases
48:51
stress is a hormonal response and
48:54
overstanding stimulating hormones can
48:56
further weaken the immune system when we
48:59
get an organ transplant what does the
49:01
surgeon do he prescribes an
49:04
anti-rejection hormone drug and that is
49:07
a stress hormone
49:09
actually a stress hormone because stress
49:11
suppresses the immune system period you
49:13
know you don't want to reject that organ
49:15
so you get a stress hormone injection
49:19
we must learn how to stop
49:21
allowing stress triggers to overtake our
49:23
life avoid the news
49:26
avoid negative people avoid what makes
49:28
you upset until you feel stronger i had
49:30
a wonderful couple
49:33
that had done functional tests that
49:35
revealed their stress hormones are
49:37
really high both of them good marriage
49:40
good communication that wasn't it
49:43
they were watching the news and they
49:45
thought the world was falling apart you
49:47
talk about stress coven you talk about
49:50
stress
49:51
that is the devil untethered
49:53
now that stress we need to think on
49:56
beautiful things and pray now that's
49:59
de-stressing
50:00
be in gratitude be in forgiveness
50:03
compassion i think these are the body's
50:05
most powerful built-in tools to keep
50:08
your immune system boosted symptoms at
50:11
bay using this and other proactive ways
50:14
to reduce stress that can include yoga
50:17
not only is it possible to practice yoga
50:19
in your home but you can find tons of
50:22
instructional videos online for free any
50:25
level
50:27
any level of expertise one of my
50:29
favorites online videos is on youtube
50:32
it's under yoga with adrienne she has so
50:35
many videos five minute videos to get
50:38
you started and longer ones of course
50:40
but here you combine stress reduction
50:42
with one of the best ways to exercise in
50:45
the whole body other ways to add more
50:47
management into your life how about
50:49
trying to implement deep breathing
50:52
slowly exhaling twice as long as you
50:55
inhale it's a great way just try it
51:00
have fun exercising dancing get a
51:02
massage
51:04
maybe make meditation a practice that's
51:06
a beautiful thing spend time with loved
51:09
ones and i'm sure you can think of ideas
51:12
that you can add to this list
51:14
some action steps that we
51:16
all can consider
51:18
first you might want to think about
51:20
getting some testing done to identify
51:22
your body's your deep needs and treat
51:25
accordingly
51:26
luckily there are other things you can
51:28
do to amplify your health now so there's
51:32
some additional steps you might want to
51:33
consider to fight the autoimmune
51:35
complications and take control of your
51:37
health they could try intermittent
51:39
fasting a great way to lower
51:42
inflammation overall and that's like
51:44
reducing the eating window to about
51:46
eight hours
51:47
cutting out all grains dairy legumes
51:50
nightshades processed foods
51:52
maybe just change your diet to contain
51:55
only whole foods
51:57
jerf just eat real food pretty simple
52:01
maybe you want to do the elimination
52:03
diet did a whole webinar on that stay
52:05
adequately hydrated make sure you get
52:08
enough fiber maybe quality probiotics my
52:12
favorite brand and because there's a lot
52:14
of probiotics out there some good some
52:16
not so good but they have there's a
52:18
professional brand metagenics that kind
52:20
of fine-tunes it
52:22
you might want to also supplement with
52:24
digestive enzymes to make sure the
52:25
stomach and everything else is doing its
52:27
job
52:28
avoiding unnecessary antibiotics
52:31
remember conventionally raised meat and
52:33
poultry often has antibiotics added to
52:35
make them grow faster
52:37
you might also want to detoxify
52:40
regularly at least twice a year i love
52:43
to suggest
52:45
biotics metabolic two-week cleanses
52:47
they've got a couple of them that really
52:49
people feel happy when they're on that
52:51
okay practice deep breathing exercising
52:54
regularly connecting with others
52:57
sleeping enough with good sleep hygiene
53:00
rest when you need it find a hobby you
53:02
love
53:03
and lastly do what makes you feel happy
53:06
and healthy okay some just little tips
53:08

53:11
very important
53:13
dr terry walls she is one of my sheroes
53:17
she wrote the walls protocol
53:19
i think this is an absolute must read
53:23
for anyone with autoimmune disease
53:26
dr walls herself has an amazing story of
53:28
recovering from progressive unremitting
53:32
multiple sclerosis i had dinner with her
53:34
and personally witnessed her recovery
53:36
look her up she's all over the place um
53:40
she could have given up progressive ms
53:42
is a death sentence
53:43
but she found her way back again her
53:46
message is there is hope
53:49
she worked for it and she didn't accept
53:52
the medical
53:53
sentence
53:54
she herself an md
53:57
phenomenal i think she's she's just
54:00
amazing
54:01
so thanks for taking the time to
54:03
experience the autoimmune matrix i know
54:07
it was a lot of information

54:29
done to really experience productive
54:31
holistic healing you know i like the
54:33
analogy if you're sitting on three tacks
54:36
and you only remove one are you gonna be
54:38
free of pain no you gotta remove all
54:40
three
54:41
but you may feel a little better i don't
54:43
know but remember there is no perfect
54:46
approach for everyone that's why i like
54:49
to recommend proper testing
54:51
and it helps you to tune in and listen
54:53
to your body no one else is like you
54:57
while the basics apply to everybody each
54:59

Take a deeper dive into maintaining health in the 21st century where we have challenges like never before. The rate of autoimmune disease, along with other chronic disease that we have come to expect, is skyrocketing. And this doesn’t have to be. In this webinar, I give you my insight, based on evidenced based research combined with the wisdom and knowledge of over 5000 years
