Did you know that autoimmune diseases could affect your risk of developing Alzheimer's?

In this episode, Dr. Peter Rogers, a Stanford and Harvard-educated physician, returns, and we dive deep into autoimmune diseases and their surprising connection to Alzheimer’s. He explains how autoimmune diseases can play a significant role in the development of Alzheimer’s and other chronic conditions. 

We discuss the role of gut health, the impact of diet on autoimmune diseases, and practical lifestyle changes that can help prevent and even reverse these conditions. From the importance of a plant-based diet to the dangers of glyphosate and processed foods, today's conversation offers valuable insights on how to protect and optimize your health. 

Dr. Rogers also shares his expertise on reversing disease through diet and lifestyle changes, making this episode a must-listen for those looking to improve their long-term health.

“You're not gonna get better unless you change something about your diet and your toxin exposure. And you might as well start doing it ASAP because the more time goes by, people develop irreversible damage, and then it's harder to get a good long-term outcome.” 

~ Dr. Peter Rogers, MD
