Description:

Dr Brad Leech, PhD, first joined me on the show (#437) for a discussion to update the record on a common practice when addressing pathogens: “weed, seed, feed” which he believes can cause further damage. 


In this episode, we explore Autoimmunity and the 4 main ‘feeder lanes’ into it, drawing on the thousands of hours Brad has spent researching it during his PhD and beyond. 


We cover

  • Leaky Gut
  • Dysbiosis in the gut
  • Immune dysregulation
  • Systemic Inflammation 
  • Gut testing: What is ‘good’ testing? 
  • Essential nutrients in an autoimmune picture and how to ensure quality supplements. 
  • Why we can’t label some foods as inherently ‘good for you’ based on certain farming factors that can change a food’s make-up.
  • Microbes of note in the research that can contribute to healing, disease or both, depending on how much there is in the gut


And MORE


I hope it’s helpful for you or someone you know.
