One of them would be the genetic predisposition.
The second one would be some kind of a triggering event.
And then the third one is going to be intestinal permeability, also known as leaky gut.
And so one of the things that's really exciting this day and age is that we can't really change our genes.
We can't really...
always figure out what the triggers are.
Sometimes with autoimmune thyroid disease, we can figure out, okay, it was this infection or it was this kind of a nutrient deficiency and we can address it.
But we don't always identify these things.
For example, if you had an infection, a viral infection or a vaccine, you can't necessarily remove that from your system, but you can always work on the health of your digestive system and your gut.
And in many cases, I have seen people can get a lot of conditions into remission.
when they do address whatever is causing their gut imbalance it could be things like a zinc or l-glutamine deficiency it could be celiac disease it could be small intestinal bacterial overgrowth it could be actually protozoal infections are a big inducer of intestinal permeability in our modern world i feel like we don't talk about them enough it's like
So it's like this is a third world issue, but actually many of the people that I've seen with autoimmunity, they do have some kind of gut barrier disruption and it could be from a protozoal infection.
So if a person wanted to prevent autoimmune disease and if they had some digestive symptoms already, I would highly recommend that they look into doing an elimination diet.
So figuring out their food triggers, gluten and dairy are some of the biggest food triggers.
For other people, it might actually be like fiber and raw vegetables.
I have actually seen people reacting to lettuce and blueberries.
And
The other really big thing is going to be food additives.
So any kind of processed foods, any of those artificial sweeteners and sugars, non-caloric sweeteners, these can actually be very damaging to the gut wall.
And some of them can act as osmotic laxatives and really cause a gut barrier disruption.
