@niktock813: Here’s something that should stop you in your tracks: Think of autoimmunity like a 3-legged stool. 🧬 Genetic susceptibility — the genes that make you more vulnerable. 🔥 TRAUMA— infections, certain exposures, hormones, stress and other factors can contribute to immune activation. 🦠 LEAKY GUT — increased intestinal permeability has been proposed as an important contributor to autoimmune disease, with some of the strongest evidence coming from conditions like celiac disease and type 1 diabetes. You can’t change your genetics. But the other pieces? Those give us something to work on. That’s why I spend so much time talking about the gut instead of only chasing symptoms. ➡️➡️➡️Comment GUT and I’ll personally send you my Gut Check Checklist. If you check 3 or more boxes, your gut may be trying to tell you something. #autoimmune #gut #guthealth #leakygut #epsteinbarrvirus
