Autoimmune from 30,000 Feet – Triggers, Root Causes, & Practical Solutions
Torea Rodriguez gives us a fantastic “30,000’ overview” of autoimmune disease – the root causes, potential triggers, lab testing recommendations, and many practical suggestions. This is a great starting point and primer for those who aren’t familiar with much of the information around autoimmunity from a functional perspective. We recommend you start here!
Covered in this Video:
- There is no single root cause of autoimmunity– Torea will explore several possibilities with you
- The old approach to autoimmunity involved ignoring symptoms, waiting until a diagnosis is received, treating it like a disease of the organ being affected (it’s actually a disease of the immune system), and was generally unsuccessful
- The new approach is more proactive, focused on investigative work to determine drivers, triggers, root causes, and based on early detection, lifestyle, diet, and other natural interventions in early stages
- Mindset is everything. Autoimmune doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you – it’s all about perspective! Our thoughts and emotions have a direct impact on our biology.
Having been through a long healing process from two autoimmune conditions that ended her previous career (professional pilot – hence the 30,000’ analogies), Torea is able to speak from a compassionate place of experience, non-judgment, and calm confidence. After walking the healing path herself, it’s now her passion to help as many other people as possible to heal themselves and live their best lives.
