how to stop the hidden autoimmune damage that keeps you sick, fat, and tired before it turns into disease

"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
