The Main Causes Of Autoimmune Disease And How To Reverse It

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and InsideTracker.
Autoimmune disease is an extremely common and growing issue in our
global population, affecting millions of people worldwide.
Autoimmune diseases vary in symptoms and severity, but they all
have one thing in common: the body is attacking itself. Typically,
when someone has one autoimmune disease, it’s likely they have more
than one. Examples of autoimmune diseases are type 1 diabetes,
rheumatoid arthritis, colitis and Crohn’s, Hashimoto’s, and
Graves’.  This episode is the first in a new series I’m
calling masterclass, where I am interviewed by my good friend and
podcast host Dhru Purohit about popular health topics including
inflammation, autoimmune disease, brain health, sleep, and much
more. Today’s episode explores the five main root causes of
autoimmune disease—toxins, allergens, microbes, diet, and
stress—and the Functional Medicine approach to treating them. Dhru
Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the
health and wellness industry. His podcast, Dhru Purohit Podcast, is
