On Today's Episode: Autoimmune disease has been on the rise for the last few decades. Everything seems to be idiopathic in nature, but you have to wonder, is our diet tied to the rise in autoimmune conditions being diagnosed globally?Dr. Jeffrey Bland is considered to be the Father of Functional Medicine and the President of Big Bold Health. He stands for the science of hope that there is wisdom in nature that needs to be adhered to and not forgotten. Dr. Bland is quick to remind us that big pharma cannot extract one nutrient to treat a condition when all of the complexities of food found in nature are needed.Global Immune stress is creating greater levels of cortisol and interfering with the effectiveness of your immune system. Becoming a person who is conscious of the dietary choices they make daily and environmental stressors being tolerated will allow us to minimize the diseases we are doomed to face if we make no changes at all.SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Dr. Jeffrey Bland0:30 | Eat These Superfoods8:24 | Rejuvenate Your Immune System40:01 | Meat vs. Plants52:46 | Personalize Your Diet59:37 | The Problem With Modernity1:22:53 | Best Way to FastFollow Dr. Jeffrey Bland: Website: https://jeffreybland.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjeffreybland/Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeffreyblandphdYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT1EJuDM9-wyiISh2nRcbpQFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jeffreyblandphdPodcast: https://bigboldhealth.com/podcast/Are You Ready for EXTRA Impact?If you’re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.Want to transform your health, sharpen your mindset, improve your relationship, or conquer the business world?
