Title: The autoimmune fix
Description: "Millions of people suffer from autoimmunity whether they know it or not. The root cause of most weight gain, brain and mood problems, and fatigue, autoimmunity can take years; or even decades; for symptoms and a clear diagnosis to arise. Through years of research, Dr. Tom O'Bryan has discovered that autoimmunity is actually a spectrum, and many people experiencing general malaise are already on it. And while autoimmune diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis, osteoporosis, diabetes, and lupus, have become the third leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer, many people affected are left in the dark. The good news is that many autoimmune conditions can be reversed through a targeted protocol designed to heal the autoimmune system, 70 percent of which is located in the gut. The Autoimmune Fix includes two comprehensive 3-week plans: In the first 3 weeks, you'll follow a Paleo-inspired diet during which you cut out gluten, sweets, and dairy; the three primary culprits behind autoimmunity. Once the dietary changes have been addressed, The Autoimmune Fix focuses on the other causes of autoimmunity such as genetics, other dietary issues, and microbiome. The Autoimmune Fix provides a practical and much-needed guide to navigating these increasingly common conditions to help you feel better and develop a plan that works for you"--

"Trying to be healthier but not quite getting there? Trouble losing weight? Plagued by fatigue? Are your best efforts producing mediocre results? You might be one of the millions of people who are already on the autoimmune spectrum. These signs are some of the subtle ways your body is telling you that something is wrong. In fact, you may be on your way to a full-blown autoimmune condition without even knowing it. In The Autoimmune Fix, Dr. Tom O'Bryan explains the underlying mechanisms of the most common illnesses we are facing. In truth, no one gets degenerative or chronic diseases (such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease, or lupus) in their sixties or seventies. That's just when the damage has accumulated to the point where it's obvious. Instead, these diseases are decades-long processes, which now can be identified before debilitating symptoms appear. The first step is to uncover the weak link in your chain: where your health will falter. Next, you'll learn how state-of-the-art testing can confirm your place on the autoimmune spectrum. Then, you'll have a window of opportunity in which you can make simple lifestyle changes that can arrest and reverse the inflammation and damage causing the disease. By following the Transition Protocol, you'll know in just three weeks if you are on the right track to better health. As you lower inflammation and enhance your microbiome--the vast community of bacteria that live within your gut--you can look forward to increased energy, reduced pain, and feeling radiant. It all begins with better nutrition."--Dust jacket.
