Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Dr. Sara Gottfried reveals how trauma can rewire your body to trigger autoimmune diseases—and provides a comprehensive plan to reset your immune system and finally heal.We know that autoimmune disease—a condition when the body’s immune system attacks its own healthy tissue and cells—affects about one in ten Americans, or 24 million people, with prevalence increasing worldwide. But as New York Times bestselling author Dr. Sara Gottfried explains in this eye-opening new book, autoimmune disease may be even more pervasive than we realize—and its root cause may surprise you.Conventional medicine falls short when it comes to both diagnosing and treating autoimmune disease. Many people suffer from mysterious symptoms—like severe fatigue, brain fog, aches and pains, feelings of tingling and numbness, stubborn weight gain, abdominal pain, digestive problems, hair loss, insomnia, and even anxiety—and don’t realize their immune system is at the root of their symptoms. In her precision medicine practice, Dr. Gottfried noticed a seemingly unusual pattern: many of her patients who suffer from autoimmune disease and symptoms have a history of trauma. Emerging research shows that up to 80% of patients with autoimmune disease experienced significant emotional distress before getting sick.With The Autoimmune Cure, there is hope on the horizon for the tens of millions of people who suffer from autoimmune disease. Dr. Gottfried has created a powerful program designed to break the vicious cycle of autoimmune disease, reset your immune system, and restore your health, with advice on:dietsleepsupplementsbreathworkmicrobiome restorationsomatic therapyketamine-assisted treatmentmicrodosing psilocybinMDMA-assisted therapyThe Autoimmune Cure offers a roadmap to lasting relief from autoimmune disease by addressing the root cause of the condition and healing the body, mind, and spirit.Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

The Autoimmune Cure is a little dramatic for a title but I suppose that sells better than “Random things you might try that might help your autoimmune system stop hating you so much”......more

Goodreads review by Lauren on September 02, 2024

Finally, a book focused on the intersection of trauma and autoimmune disease. I've read a lot on both subjects and while there may not be a lot of new information about trauma or chronic illness (as some other reviewers have complained) what a gift to have it all in one place and discussed within a......more

Goodreads review by Lindsay on December 21, 2024

This is a great starter book for someone who may have a recent diagnosis of autoimmune disease. It addresses multiple aspects of healing and basically states that healing is not linear or one dimensional. It wasn’t mind blowing or super in depth but it did cover various modalities of healing/trauma......more
