Our May Functional Medicine Deep Dive is here, and it’s all about autoimmunity. Dr. Elroy Vojdani walks us through the three stages of autoimmunity and shows how autoimmune diseases take years to develop. He then takes us through the pathways that link environmental triggers like food, chemicals, bacteria, parasites, and viruses to the development of autoimmune conditions. Dr. Vojdani also discusses the importance of nutrition, lifestyle, and reducing our exposure to toxins as the keys to preventing significant symptoms and loss of function.
