About Dr. David Bilstrom:
Dr. David Bilstrom is a fellow of the American Academy of Integrative Medicine as well as an advanced fellow in anti-aging, regenerative, and Functional Medicine. He is on a mission to revolutionize how autoimmune and chronic diseases are treated worldwide by teaching the science-based fundamentals of Functional Medicine.
He has been practicing for over 30 years, and is quadruple board certified in Functional and Regenerative Medicine, Integrative Medicine, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, and Medical Acupuncture.
Dr. Bilstrom is the Director of the International Autoimmune Institute — the first medical center in the country associated with a teaching hospital to treat all types of autoimmune disease using Functional Medicine.
What We Discuss In This Episode:
Dr. David Bilstrom, is a leading functional medicine physician seeking to revolutionize autoimmune treatment through root cause resolution. Our discussion covers gut health, vitamin D sensitivity, and reversing chronic disease.
Dr. Bilstrom shares how witnessing patients' medication side effects led him to explore functional medicine. He trained in medical acupuncture, finding success treating complex cases. This opened his mind to integrating non-traditional therapies.
Fixing the vitamin D receptor through daily supplements is key to healing the gut and resetting the microbiome, reversing conditions from IBS to diabetes. Epigenetics shows diseases are driven by gene expression, not genetics, allowing holistic reversal.
Resistance to vitamin D despite sufficient levels impacts the gut profoundly. Combining vitamin D with prebiotics and butyrate protects the breast tissue microbiome from cancer via this mechanism. Individualized epigenetic optimization is discussed.
Certain probiotics like lactobacillus fail to colonize due to stress hormone imbalance. Dr. Bilstrom's protocol resets cortisol, allowing probiotics and lifestyle changes to reshape the microbiome and resolve disease.
Dr. Bilstrom makes scientific resources freely available through his website, videos and courses. He wrote a book for nurse practitioners seeking holistic autoimmune treatment education to spread this knowledge worldwide. Early lifestyle intervention is key to prevention.
Key Takeaways:
Functional medicine approach to these issues How is it that gut disruption is playing a part in just about everything that drives autoimmune and chronic disease? Why hormone imbalance (estrogen dominance) is the most dangerous disease in women. Probiotics and microbiome Reversing chronic disease Why is vitamin D receptor sensitivity in the gut so important to address? Infections and how they drive chronic disease, including chronic pain.
