What causes autoimmune disease?

Autoimmune Disease TriggersWhat Causes Autoimmune Disease Transcript

Today we're talking about what causes autoimmune disease. Last week I shared with you, sort of a startling statistic really that autoimmune disease has now exceeded the 10th leading cause of death and women under the age of 65. Like the nice friend I am, I'm also bringing you some more stats today, there are over, 50, million confirmed cases of autoimmune disease in the US alone.

Looking around at the people around you and the people you're maybe sitting in traffic passing in your car even think of the homes in your neighborhood the people around you. One out of every six of those people has an official official diagnosis of at least one autoimmune disease. Many people are walking around with autoimmune diseases that are undiagnosed, they just haven't had somebody put together their symptoms.

Supringly, even with all those 15 million confirmed cases, it takes an average of 10 doctors appointments before an autoimmune disease is even suspected, and about an average of five years before a diagnosis is reached, and I can say that that has been accurate in my own experience, both with clients and with, you know, my own daughter having a confirmed autoimmune disease diagnosis as well.

It's really difficult to lay down a particular cause for any autoimmune disease specifically. In the coming weeks, I will get a little more specific as we go through each autoimmune disease and causes and remedies and health for each one of those diseases individually.

If you've been to one of my classes, or even been a client or listen to the podcast before then, you already know that there is no singular root cause for autoimmune disease just like there's no singular root on a tree. Trees have lots of roots that lead to their ultimately healthy or unhealthy existence.

Everyone's root cause is special, it's unique to them it's your very own, and even if you have the same exact diagnosis as someone else. You both have psoriasis or you both have rheumatoid arthritis. You both have some sort of thyroid autoimmune thyroid condition you both have type one diabetes, you landed there for different reasons different routes lead to the development of that disease.

That's why, for example, you have people that rave that you know the Paleo Diet cured my rheumatoid arthritis and others that say man I tried the Paleo diet and it didn't help me at all, and still others that say, I tried paleo diet, and it made my rheumatoid arthritis worse. Now part of that, of course, is because everyone is unique. And part of that reason is because, nutrition, only plays one part in autoimmune disease. Now it's a super important part, don't get me wrong,
