Autoimmunity rates are soaring, but is the conventional medical approach keeping up? Dr. Akil, a Harvard-trained MD and integrative medicine pioneer, joins Erin to break down why the autoimmune epidemic is accelerating (especially among children), and how most patients are being underserved by oversimplified advice or symptom-suppressing drugs.
Instead of masking symptoms, Dr. Akil shares his “T.I.G.E.R Protocol” - a comprehensive, actionable system to address the real root causes of autoimmunity, from toxins and infections to gut health, diet, and rest.
In This Episode:
- Surprising lab clues (like ANA antibodies) that can appear before autoimmune symptoms surface
- Dr. Akil's 5-step protocol that addresses the root causes of autoimmunity beyond just "healing the gut."
- Why stool pH is a hidden player in gut health, and how to create an environment that makes your body inhospitable to pathogens
- How sauna therapy and eating more broccoli sprouts can rapidly lower your toxic burden
- The underestimated power of mind-body practices to break the cycle of fear, stress, and symptom hyper-vigilance in autoimmune healing
