What FOODS to eat to prevent AUTOIMMUNE disease? | ft. Dr. Akil Palanisamy | Dr Pal

I am discussing with Dr. Akil Palanisamy (combined degree in both Ayurveda and Allopathy) why there’s been such an explosion in autoimmune disease and how certain insults in our modern-day society-like heavy metals, pesticides, poor diet, and chronic stress-could be to blame.
Autoimmunity is becoming increasingly prevalent today, affecting an estimated 300 million people worldwide. As one of the fastest-growing areas of chronic illness, more and more individuals are seeking help to get to the bottom of what’s driving their symptoms. The conventional medical approach often fails to identify the root cause of autoimmune conditions, leaving patients dependent on immunosuppressant drugs or embarking on an extensive journey of searching for answers.
Dr. Akil is a renowned Integrative Medicine practitioner who combines conventional medicine with holistic approaches like Functional Medicine and Ayurveda. He is a Harvard graduate and received his MD from the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Akil completed his residency training at Stanford University and a fellowship in Integrative Medicine with Dr. Andrew Weil at the University of Arizona. He is the Department Chair for Integrative Medicine at the Sutter Health Institute for Health and Healing (IHH), where he also serves as IHH Physician Director for Community Education and leads educational initiatives and programs.
In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Akil is a well-known author, speaker, and educator. He has authored two books, The Paleovedic Diet: A Complete Program to Burn Fat, Increase Energy, and Reverse Disease and The TIGER Protocol: An Integrative, 5-Step Program to Treat and Heal Your Autoimmunity.

My mother has this autoimmune condition called Sjogrens and this disease attacks the glands in the human body. And she can't take many of the food because of lack of secretion of salaiva. Her disease has advanced over years since 2013. Right now her teeth, kidney are damaged. She is maintaining her health only through steroids and if we decrease the mg her skin turns into rash.

[@sharanyakrishnan3505]

Another great episode.. Love to see different perspectives. I had one question.. The guest said idli and Dosa are fermented foods. But we heat it and eat it. Would that not kill the good bacteria?

[@AkilPalanisamy]

Yes it does but a little are left behind which is better than nothing

[@Tully70]

Yes - live microorganisms may not be available in idli/dosa. But, the benefits of fermentation is already available in them. So better than non-fermented food.
