Here Is The Most Frequently Asked Questions.
Identifying and treating autoimmune disease can be difficult. The Dr. Gundry protocol was established using over 20 years of clinical trials and patient care experience.
An autoimmune disease is a condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body. These attacks can affect any part of the body, weakening bodily function and even turning life-threatening.

Your gut microbiome is a community of “good” and “bad” bacteria. Beneficial bacteria help digest food, manufacture nutrients, and communicate with your immune system. However, an imbalanced microbiome, often caused by sugar and lectin-rich diets, weakens the gut wall and increases the risk of leaky gut.

Leaky gut syndrome, also called intestinal permeability, occurs when the lining of the gut becomes damaged and develops microscopic holes. These holes allow harmful compounds, bacteria, and undigested food particles to “leak” into the bloodstream, triggering inflammation and contributing to health issues, including autoimmune diseases.

When harmful particles leak through the gut wall, the immune system overreacts, releasing inflammatory cytokines to fight what it perceives as threats. Over time, this chronic inflammation can trigger autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, arthritis, or hypothyroidism. A leaky gut is often the third key factor, alongside genetics and environmental triggers.
