This week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, I am so excited to be joined by Dr. Sara Szal Gottfried! In this episode, Sara tells us about her healing journey after learning she was suffering from pre-autoimmune disease. Through her experience, she learned there weren't many resources to help people with their autoimmunity, so she wrote a book called The Autoimmune Cure. We dig into the tests she recommends, using psychedelics, diet, breathwork and other modalities that helped her heal her body.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• How do you bring awareness to overwhelming emotional events?
• What are immunomodulators?
• What labs determine an autoimmunity?
• 80% of patients with autoimmune disease experienced significant emotional distress before getting sick
• Why is autoimmune disease on the rise?
• What psychedelics help autoimmunity?

NUTRITION PHILOSOPHY OF LESS STRESSED LIFE: 

• Over restriction is dead; if your practitioner is recommending this, they are stuck in 2010 and not evolving
• Whole food is soul food and fed is best
• Sustainable, synergistic nutrition is in (the opposite of whack-a-mole supplementation & supplement graveyards)
• You don’t have to figure it out alone
• Do your best and leave the rest
