It's in our nature, isn't it? To seek simplicity in the complex world around us. We yearn for straightforward answers, for that one thing we can point to and say, "Aha! That's the culprit!"

Unfortunately, when it comes to autoimmune conditions, this approach might be doing us more harm than good.

Human tendency for simplicity can lead us astray. We often hear about the "root cause" of a condition. That one thing, that one trigger, that sets off the chain reaction. But when it comes to autoimmune conditions, pinning it down to a single "root cause" is not just an oversimplification; it's misleading.

Think of it like a puzzle. Each piece represents a factor – genetics, environment, diet, stress, infections, and so on. Alone, each piece might not mean much. But together, they form the bigger picture, the complex interplay that leads to the onset of an autoimmune condition.

🎧Tune in this week as we journey deeper into the intricate realm of autoimmune conditions and start to understand that the common phrase 'root-cause' has been oversimplified.
