Over 50 million Americans live with autoimmune diseases—yet few understand just how much diet and metabolic health shape these conditions. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore groundbreaking research showing that genetics account for only one-third of autoimmune risk. The remaining two-thirds? Environmental triggers, with diet leading the charge.

We unpack how refined carbohydrates, processed foods, and insulin resistance contribute to gut dysfunction, systemic inflammation, and molecular mimicry—a process that can trick your immune system into attacking your own tissues. From thyroid disease to rheumatoid arthritis and chronic skin conditions, we examine how diet shapes immune balance at the cellular level.

You’ll also discover emerging dietary strategies—like the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), ketogenic, and paleo approaches—that show promise in reducing autoimmune flares, improving energy, and restoring quality of life. Plus, we highlight the key lab markers that can uncover your personal inflammatory triggers and guide a personalized healing plan.

Whether you’re managing an autoimmune condition or simply curious about how food affects your immune health, this episode is packed with science-based strategies for healing from within.
