Autoimmune Conditions are On the Rise — Do Food Sensitivities Play a Role? The Role of Gluten & Dairy in Autoimmunity and How to Address Food Sensitivities Starting with Gut Health

So no question, there's no way to discuss this other than scientifically true fact that autoimmune disease is on the rise. And only in the last 15 years, let's say, which is a very, very alarming timeframe to experience something like that.

It's all, I think, the majority happening in that pre-autoimmune category, which essentially, if you want to break it down to a cellular level, It's really the normal physiology and function of our entire gut environment and the immune influence from that that are completely broken. The most important regulator of our immune system is a cell called the T regulatory cell.

The T regulatory cell, we have different populations of them. There's a gut dependent or gut populated T regulatory cell, which is essentially responsible for the balance of what in my environment do I want to attack or not attack.

So when you have, let's say a food sensitivity or you have a new adult allergy that you didn't experience before is essentially dysfunction of the T regulatory cell that brought that set of symptoms on.

Also, if let's say you consume foods and you get brain fog or runny nose and digestive issues afterwards, it's essentially the environmental triggers that are pushing that Treg cell to imbalance that are responsible for that. If you really wanna, break it down to one part of the immune system.

Treg cells, their balance essentially is fed entirely by what they see as threat versus non-threat in the localized internal environment of the gut. And with so many people experiencing intestinal permeability, so much dysbiosis out there, so much constant exposure to chemicals, the Treg cells see themselves as under constant threat.

And when they see themselves on constant threat, they're going to try to fight back. And the way they fight back is with a chronic inflammatory response from the immune system. And we feel like crap when our immune system is in a chronic inflammatory state.
