Palmer Kippola is on a mission to make autoimmune disease history. When she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at age 19, she began a journey toward healing that resulted in a complete reversal of her symptoms. Now, with the help of leading medical experts, including renowned specialists in immunology and longevity from UCLA and Stanford medical schools, as well as leading practitioners in the field of autoimmunity and functional medicine, Kippola wants to help you find freedom from disease too.
This comprehensive book is the first to explore all six of the critical lifestyle factors that are the root causes of autoimmune conditions-and the sources of regaining health:
* Discover the foods that can trigger disease as well as healthy solutions to fit your personal nutritional profile.
*Explore the impact of common, often-undiagnosed infections and ways to optimize your immunity naturally.
*Learn how gut health is the key to recovery.
*Gain insight on how hormone imbalances can disrupt healing and how to assess your hormone levels.
*Eliminate environmental toxins in your home and body, and learn how to live a detox lifestyle.
*Reduce stress and build resilience.
Drawing on her own inspiring return to resilient health, as well as the healing stories of a dozen medical doctors and practitioners, plus years of research with autoimmune experts, Palmer Kippola gives readers the tools to beat autoimmune disease-and the hope that relief and healing are possible.
