Dr. Blum is back with us today to talk about arthritis and the latest research on the gut microbiome and the influence of stress and trauma on all sorts of arthritis and autoimmune conditions, which arthritis is one. Arthritis is not a condition for old people. It also affects women more than men.

In today’s episode, we discuss:

1. The role trauma plays into triggering autoimmune conditions like arthritis and how stress can reactivate dormant symptoms

2. The role resilience plays in both finishing the healing protocols we start and managing stress, including different types of tools to be able to see stress as resilience building instead of something negative.

3. Gut biome entertypoes and an in-depth discussion of what researchers are coming to believe about if we can change the nature of our gut biome.
