The Autoimmunity Summit with Amy Myers – VJL

WHO IS IT FOR?

Autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and MS, affect more than 250 million people worldwide. In the United States, they are the 3rd leading chronic disease behind cardiovascular disease and cancer.

• Have you, a friend, or family member been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease?
• Do you have a family history of autoimmunity and want to learn how to prevent it?
• Or are you a healthcare provider who wants to better treat your autoimmune patients?

If that sounds like you, or you just want to learn more about treating and reversing these conditions, The Autoimmune Summit is for you!

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

In these 38 interviews, you’ll learn about the root causes of autoimmunity and how to prevent and reverse these conditions. Experts in the fields of Functional Medicine and autoimmune disease will explain how leaky gut, genetics, and environmental triggers such as toxins, food sensitivities, infections, and stress all play a part in the development of autoimmune disease.

HOW IS THIS SUMMIT DIFFERENT?

Based on twin studies, we now know that 25% of autoimmunity is genetics, and the other 75% is environment. I believe there are 5 main environmental factors that contribute to autoimmunity: leaky gut, diet, stress, toxins, and infections. Every one of these is a piece of the pie–for some, one piece may be bigger–but all play a role to some degree.

The Autoimmune Summit includes speakers from each category. In addition, certain experts will discuss special cases in autoimmunity, and why autoimmune disease has become such an epidemic. For your convenience, the experts have been color-coded, so you can easily identify the topics that interest you the most.
