Main Points From Today’s Episode
- The autoimmune spectrum helps you gauge the severity of inflammation in your body. Tens of thousands of people have worked their way back down the autoimmune spectrum with The Myers Way protocol.
- Research shows the consumption of gluten can potentially trigger inflammation for up to 3 months in those who have autoimmune disease and a gluten sensitivity. That means by eating gluten just 4 times a year, your immune system never gets a break.
