Simply put, autoimmune diseases\u2014like rheumatoid arthritis, celiac sprue, inflammatory bowel, type 1 diabetes, Hashimoto\u2019s, Graves\u2019, lupus, fibromyalgia, and so many more\u2014are conditions where the body\u2019s immune system attacks its own tissues rather than a foreign molecule like bacteria. This happens when something confuses the immune system.\nToday, I\u2019m joined by Dr. Sunjya Schweig to discuss why autoimmune issues are on the rise and how we can treat them using a Functional Medicine approach.\nSunjya K. Schweig, MD, is deeply committed to building a cutting-edge, data-driven ecosystem for the prevention and reversal of chronic illness. As the founder and president of the California Center for Functional Medicine, Dr. Schweig and his team provide personalized, precision medicine care to help people with chronic illness recover their health. In 2021, Dr. Schweig founded the Functional Medicine Research and Technology Center, which aims to prevent and reverse chronic illness through research, education, and innovation. A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, Dr. Schweig completed his MD at the University of California, Irvine, and his family medicine residency at the University of California, San Francisco, Family Practice Residency Program in Santa Rosa, CA. He is board certified in family practice (ABFM) integrative and holistic medicine (ABIHM).\nThis episode is sponsored by Athletic Greens and InsideTracker.\nAG1 contains 75 high-quality vitamins, minerals, whole-food sourced superfoods, probiotics, and adaptogens to support your entire body.
