Autoimmune disease can be devastating.   Autoimmune diseases are challenging to diagnose (at best), can take various shapes and forms (hence the wide variety of diagnosed autoimmune disorders), can affect different organs and systems in the same person, and to top it all off, can act very differently in each person they affect.   The management of autoimmune diseases has been equally frustrating. Some patients respond well to traditional medical approaches; others do not. Treatment can also be time sensitive meaning what 'worked' before does not 'work' now; with no rhyme or reason as to why. Sometimes symptoms can lie dormant for years and then, seemingly out of nowhere, the patient has a massive flare up.   But one thing that seems to consistently help everyone with an autoimmune disease is to modify their diet.   This is not to suggest that changing your diet is a cure or even a treatment for autoimmune diseases, but it has been shown to help, even tremendously in some people.   The purpose of this podcast is to discuss our recommended protocol for Autoimmune Diseases and why we believe you should give it a try if you have an autoimmune disease and for some, if you just want to test your body out.   What We Covered

• What is an autoimmune disease?
• The proposed mechanism for the development of autoimmune diseases. The cat is far from out of the bag on this one and, there are many things we don't know. However, we do know something and that 'something' can really help.
• A review of the Mark's Daily Apply Autoimmune Protocol, how it works, who it's for and why we like it.
• Managing and helping to understand the psychology of food and eating.
