Chronic illness including autoimmune disease is increasing in the US. Research points to a genetic predisposition but environmental toxins, infections and lifestyle choices can switch the genes on and create illness. Find out the role of our food choices, gut bacteria and microbiome, time we eat, how we control our stress, and sleep duration affect the course of illness.
We will discuss unique testing and starting with small changes to positively strengthen the immune system and help alleviate symptoms. You will learn how these changes have the potential to modulate the immune system, delay progression, and may even reverse illness in some.
Cost: $5. Per Person. MUST REGISTER IN ADVANCE. Register online.
