Dr. Bilstrom discusses its reversibility through proper treatment and addressing underlying factors such as gut health, cortisol levels, infections, food sensitivities, vitamin deficiencies, hormone imbalances, and environmental toxins.

    Join us as we dive into Dr. Bilstrom's expertise, empowering listeners to take control of their health through education, proper treatment, and lifestyle changes.

    Topics:

    Understanding autoimmune diseases.

    Set point and chronic disease.

    Estrogen dominance and detox pathways.
