Heal Your Autoimmune Disease: What’s Causing It and How to Stop It with Dr. Robert Rountree

Episode 932 1 hr 30 min

Overview

Autoimmune diseases are on the rise, affecting more people today than ever before. In this episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy, I have a deep discussion with Dr. Robert Rountree—a brilliant physician and one of the leading thinkers in Functional Medicine—about the underlying causes and innovative treatments for autoimmune conditions. 

Dr. Rountree is a pioneer in this field, and his insights into how environmental toxins, diet, and lifestyle choices contribute to these diseases are invaluable.

In this insightful episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why autoimmune diseases have become more prevalent, affecting more people than cancer, heart disease, and diabetes combined.

  • How environmental toxins, including heavy metals and microplastics, play a significant role in triggering autoimmune responses.

  • The connection between gut health and autoimmune conditions, including how leaky gut contributes to immune dysfunction.

  • How Functional Medicine approaches—like identifying food sensitivities and reducing toxin exposure—can help manage and even reverse autoimmune diseases.

  • The role of stress, sleep, and lifestyle factors in modulating the immune system and their impact on autoimmune disease progression.

Join us to explore the root causes of autoimmune diseases and discover actionable strategies to reclaim your health.
