130. From Estrogen Dominance to Epigenetics: Exploring Autoimmune Connections

March is Autoimmune Awareness month. In this episode, we're we are joined by Dr. David Bilstrom, MD, a leading figure in Functional and Regenerative Medicine with a focus on autoimmune diseases.

Dr. Bilstrom, Director of the International Autoimmune Institute & Bingham Memorial Center for Functional Medicine, pioneers innovative approaches to treating autoimmune conditions. He stresses the importance of combining natural healing methods with medical intervention.

In this episode, Dr. Bilstrom explains the complexities of autoimmune diseases, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues. He emphasizes the need to understand the underlying mechanisms driving this self-destructive behavior.

Our discussion explores how autoimmune diseases are not isolated conditions but part of a larger disease process affecting multiple body parts. Dr. Bilstrom highlights the significance of addressing root causes to prevent further damage and the development of additional autoimmune conditions and even cancer.

We learn about estrogen dominance as a significant contributor to autoimmune diseases and other health issues. Dr. Bilstrom discusses its reversibility through proper treatment and addressing underlying factors such as gut health, cortisol levels, infections, food sensitivities, vitamin deficiencies, hormone imbalances, and environmental toxins.

Join us as we dive into Dr. Bilstrom's expertise, empowering listeners to take control of their health through education, proper treatment, and lifestyle changes.
