Normally, the immune system produces just enough inflammation to keep infections, allergens, toxins or other stressors under control. However, when the natural balance of your immune system is disrupted, the immune system shifts into a chronic state of alarm spreading a smoldering fire of inflammation throughout the body.
In essence, the part of your immune system that is designed to protect you from foreign invaders starts attacking the cells and tissues of your own body. When this happens it can cause major problems. There are a few final causes that everyone in medicine (even most conventional medicine practitioners) agree are the sources of all diseases. Inflammation is one of them.
Cooling the fire of inflammation actually isn’t as hard as it sounds once you know how to do it. In this video, I’ll explain to you how to cool that fire inside of you alongside a few guests who have joined me on The Doctor’s Farmacy.

After much experimentation, at age 54, I'm FINALLY starting to figure out what my unique body likes and doesn't like regarding diet.

I CANT ACCOUNT how many times my family have been eating together, because, IT WAS EACH AND EVERY DAY, and I see how much that way of eating impacted me to became healthy in all of my body's: mental, spiritual, emotional, physical and energetic! Thumbs up Shawn 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I was privileged to be in a 4 day retreat at Deepak’s facility in Southern California in 2015, on his new book ‘The microbiome’ That was 6 years ago, and just recently I’m healing functional doctors speak for how important, mind body and spirit makes a whole. 🙇🏻♀️🙏🏼 I’m enjoying your convo this evening guys. In gratitude.

When our children were little we used to say that mealtime was. ‘A meeting at which we eat’. It’s an opportunity to debrief .

Maybe it is not just about eating dinner today. Maybe it is about an overrun family working too much, overwhelmed, possibly poor .. the whole situation needs to be looked at in those studies which talk about families that eat dinner together.

I love listening and following you because all of your materials on functional medicine has become my way of live. I am currently recovering from a lot off health complications that left me off balance health wise. Autoimmune, leaky guts, the inflammation was so bad I lost brain functions. Diet, diet, diet has become my way of finding my way back to self. Food has become my medicine. Pharmaceutical medication did not help. I felt miserable whenever I took anything pharmaceutical. My body has had enough so it just gave up. It's been a year and a half on my healing journey. And I will be happy to share. Be healthy, be safe.

Disagree regarding hunger! When on keto and IF 18/6, hunger becomes natural, nothing to fear. I don't even think about being "hungry" anymore, and it's so liberating!

I have cut way back on sugars . I have been doing a fasting routine, watching what I eat and when I eat . It took about 4days to get in that routine, it’s leveling off. As of today 7/17/21, I have lost 12lbs , my readings are all down. Today also I maxed the 18hr threshold, body asking for nourishment but not feeling like I would be famished . Body functions are straightening out. Feel great !

I love my dermatologist but hate our medical system she's told me multiple times "what you eat has nothing to do with psoriasis"
-
Sugar should be outlawed in our food period.

MARK WHEN SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT A CERTAIN PROBLEM LET THEM FINISH THEIR ANSWER LISTEN TO THE FINISH OR TELL THEM TO SHUT UP

WOW!!! That is such a light bulb moment for me!!!!! “Not Eating Together” That needs to change for me. You guys are great! Dr. Hyman, always good listening to you.

One video I haven't seen that might be helpful for the non-medical community is to do a thorough, visual, description of the gut and it's functions from beginning to end. When we talk about the gut microbiome....where exactly is that located? I always pictured the colon but apparently there is a pouch at the beginning of the large intestine that contains most of the microbiome? I think many people (including myself) hear "the gut" and picture the stomach or "the microbiome" and picture the colon. I haven't seen this actually described in detail in a video.

When I used to take supplements my liver would ache for hours, even though I put two and two together I still took them because I was brainwashed thinking that they were good for me. Ironically, one of the supplements was for liver support. I'm over it. Give me healthy, nutritious, certified organic food every meal x
