It's probably a two-way passage, so the immune cells might also be sending out chemicals, disrupting your gut microbiome. And I think we're now much closer to realizing what's going on, that we inherit genes that give us a predisposition to these problems. But we never had as many cases until the last 30 years when something's happened and we're passing these thresholds.

And that's why many more people are getting it. Luckily, they're getting it more mildly. So in the past, when I was... Seeing patients 30 years ago, rheumatoid arthritis was rarer, but much more severe. Now it's commoner, but generally milder. And the same, I think, is true for thyroid disease. So there's definitely a connection.

And I think no doctors are really addressing is how everyone should, with these immune conditions, be first trying to sort out their gut and get their gut microbiome in the best place possible. Because it acts as a brake on the inflammation.

So if you can send those clear messages of calm from your gut microbes by feeding the right thing, your gut microbes are essentially little chemical factories. They're pharmacies. They're like compound pharmacies producing all kinds of things that you didn't know you needed. And your immune system uses those as signals. And the more it gets, the calmer it is.

And if it's not getting those signals because you've been on a diet of junk food or you've had all kinds of highly processed foods irritating it and irritating the gut lining, then your body thinks it's under attack, and then that stimulates your body to start attacking itself.

And I think that's an emerging theory here, that if we can control the inflammation in our guts, then a whole of our immune system, whether it's attacking your thyroid or your knee joint, is going to be better controlled. And I think...

We see this all the time, and it's why in many of these studies where we're changing people's gut microbiomes, one of the first things we notice people when they report back to us is their fatigue and energy levels are improved.
