Why Autoimmune Conditions Are On The Rise

Digestive System

Did you know that autoimmune conditions have tripled in the last 30 years?

Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, Hashimoto’s, lupus are your body’s way of waving a red flag – and mounting evidence suggests that flag is often planted in your gut.

The Gut-Immune Connection

Groundbreaking research has revealed that the root cause of many autoimmune disorders may lie in the gut microbiome.

Your gut lining serves as a critical barrier, carefully controlling what enters your bloodstream. When this delicate barrier becomes compromised (a condition known as “leaky gut”), it can trigger a cascade of immune dysfunction.

Toxins, undigested food particles, and harmful bacteria that leak through the damaged gut lining can provoke your immune system into a state of high alert, leading to chronic inflammation and misguided attacks on healthy tissues.

The Surprising Symptoms

This gut-driven immune confusion can manifest in seemingly unrelated ways:

Inexplicable joint pain and stiffness

Chronic skin conditions that won’t resolve

Persistent tiredness that doesn’t improve with rest

Brain fog and difficulty concentrating

While these symptoms may seem disconnected, they often share a common denominator: a leaky gut that needs repair.

How to Resolve Autoimmunity

Healing your gut lining is a critical step in restoring immune regulation and calming the systemic inflammation that fuels autoimmunity.

However, many leaky gut symptoms actually have no digestive component, which is why it often goes unnoticed and untreated.

There are 10 surprising symptoms you should know about – and I’ve created a resource that walks you through each one…

Plus, the science-backed strategies to help repair your gut and rebalance your immune function.
Decode Your Symptoms

If you’ve been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition – or you are experiencing the symptoms in my guide – taking the actions I’ve outlined can help kickstart your healing.

Of course, that’s just the first step.

The next one should involve speaking with a healthcare provider and also getting a gut test.

This test reveals exactly what’s going on in your microbiome – including unseen infections, too many “bad” gut bugs, and the presence of sneaky pathogens wreaking havoc and fanning the flames of inflammation – so we can take targeted actions to resolve those issues.

Chances are good that once you resolve the root causes causing your immune system to be on overdrive, you can alleviate (or even reverse!) your autoimmunity.
