The rates of autoimmune disorders have doubled in the past three decades and continue to rise. Factors in the rise of autoimmune disease include changing environment, lifestyle, and constant stressors.
In the past three decades, we’ve had more than 80,000 chemicals approved for use in the US. Climate change. Our diet now includes more processed foods, additives, and fast foods. We are also more sedentary and isolated from other people than ever before.
Can anything be done?
The good news is that research has shown that our lifestyle choices can decrease inflammation. Adopting a healthy diet and other healthy lifestyle behaviors dramatically affects our inflammation levels.
What do we need to decrease inflammation?
A lifestyle comprised of:
An anti-inflammatory diet
Quality sleep
Relaxation
Stress reduction
Movement
Relationships

In my program, these are exactly the fundamental pillars that we work on.
