The Autoimmune Fix - 9781623367008

Millions of people suffer from autoimmunity whether they know it or not. Through years of research, Dr. Tom O’Bryan—a chiropractic physician and clinical nutritionist—has discovered that autoimmunity is actually a spectrum, and many people experiencing general malaise are already on it. While autoimmune diseases like Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, diabetes, and lupus have become the third leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer, many other people are dealing with hidden autoimmune damage—the source of most weight gain, brain and mood problems, and fatigue.

In Optimum Healing, Dr. O’Bryan explains that your immune system, which is designed to protect you, might be working against you, triggered by lifestyle and dietary choices to attack healthy cells. But because the majority of your immune system is located in your belly, it is easy to make changes that will transform your life right away. This groundbreaking book presents two easy-to-follow plans that will get your autoimmunity under control and fix your leaky gut, reverse deep-rooted inflammation, promote weight loss, improve your mood, and boost your energy. The proven program is built around two 3-week phases. In the first phase, you will follow a Paleo-inspired diet that cuts out gluten, sugar, and dairy—three main culprits behind autoimmunity. The next phase addresses the other root causes of the autoimmune response: genetics, diet, and microbiome. Combined, these phases help you develop a plan that works for you.

Optimum Healing connects the dots between diet, gut, and hidden autoimmune damage to help you feel better and change the way you view your health.
