The Autoimmune Cure

Healing the Trauma and Other Triggers That Have Turned Your Body Against You

By: Sara Szal Gottfried

Narrated by: Nancy Wu

New York Times bestselling author Dr. Sara Gottfried reveals how trauma can rewire your body to trigger autoimmune diseases—and provides a comprehensive plan to reset your immune system and finally heal.

We know that autoimmune disease—a condition when the body’s immune system attacks its own healthy tissue and cells—affects about one in ten Americans, or 24 million people, with prevalence increasing worldwide. But as New York Times bestselling author Dr. Sara Gottfried explains in this eye-opening new book, autoimmune disease may be even more pervasive than we realize—and its root cause may surprise you.

Conventional medicine falls short when it comes to both diagnosing and treating autoimmune disease. Many people suffer from mysterious symptoms—like severe fatigue, brain fog, aches and pains, feelings of tingling and numbness, stubborn weight gain, abdominal pain, digestive problems, hair loss, insomnia, and even anxiety—and don’t realize their immune system is at the root of their symptoms. In her precision medicine practice, Dr. Gottfried noticed a seemingly unusual pattern: many of her patients who suffer from autoimmune disease and symptoms have a history of trauma. Emerging research shows that up to 80% of patients with autoimmune disease experienced significant emotional distress before getting sick.

With The Autoimmune Cure, there is hope on the horizon for the tens of millions of people who suffer from autoimmune disease. Dr. Gottfried has created a powerful program designed to break the vicious cycle of autoimmune disease, reset your immune system, and restore your health, with advice on:

• diet
• sleep
• supplements
• breathwork
• microbiome restoration
• somatic therapy
• ketamine-assisted treatment
• microdosing psilocybin
• MDMA-assisted therapy

The Autoimmune Cure offers a roadmap to lasting relief from autoimmune disease by addressing the root cause of the condition and healing the body, mind, and spirit.

Loving the symphony of hormones!

With this book we can realize how everything we do and every stage in our life’s, good and bad, including traumatic events small or big, influence how our hormones work together. Dr G really opened my eyes to the symphony that goes on in our bodies, minds and hearts.

Great information about autoimmunity and trauma

I really like the book. The author speaks at a level that non clinician can understand. I wish she would have gone to more details about other psychedelic medicines such as Toad medicines.

What our medical world needs

Understandable yet expansive presentation of material and concepts that can bless and help ANY one who listens. Practitioners and patients alike. Thank you Dr. Gottfried. I will be a better practitioner because of you. <3

Evidence Based, Relatable Story

Dr. Sara does a wonderful job of telling her own story of trauma and healing. She uses evidence and experiments to back up her advice.

she does not understand nutrition.

she doesn't understand the importance of nutrition and its role in managing mental health. Her "elimination" suggestions will cause a nutrition deficit that will cause more problems than it solves.
