Why Autoimmune Disease Is on the Rise — and How to Reverse It Naturally 🌿
In this episode of Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine, I sit down with Dr. David Bilstrom, a quadruple board-certified physician in functional, regenerative, and integrative medicine. Together, we uncover the real root causes behind autoimmune disease — and how we can prevent and even reverse them by addressing the immune system, gut health, hormones, and lifestyle.
Dr. Bilstrom shares how immune system disruption connects to conditions like heart disease, dementia, osteoporosis, and even autism — and why treating the person, not just the symptom is the key to lasting healing.
🎙️ In this episode, we explore:
• The difference between the adaptive and innate immune systems
• Why autoimmune disease has become a global epidemic
• The hidden links between inflammation, hormones, and gut health
• The power of acupuncture and integrative therapies
• How to move from symptom suppression to root-cause healing
💡 Dr. Bilstrom is the Director of the International Autoimmune Institute at the Bingham Memorial Center for Functional Medicine, where he’s changing how chronic diseases are treated — and training clinicians to do the same.
