Publisher Description
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER – A medically proven, prescriptive, and intuitive program to heal symptoms of inflammation and autoimmune disorders to reclaim your health, and life
“The Autoimmune Solution is a medical breakthrough. Dr. Myers’ protocol is a proven way to heal and reverse any illness on the autoimmune spectrum. This book revolutionizes the way we understand and treat autoimmunity and I am thrilled to be able to recommend it to my patients.” — Mark Hyman, M.D., New York Times Bestselling author and functional medicine expert
Over 90 percent of the population suffers from inflammation or an autoimmune disorder. Until now, conventional medicine has said there is no cure. Minor irritations like rashes and runny noses are ignored, while chronic and debilitating diseases like Crohn’s and rheumatoid arthritis are handled with a cocktail of toxic treatments that fail to address their root cause. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
In The Autoimmune Solution, Dr. Amy Myers, a renowned leader in functional medicine, offers her medically proven approach to prevent and reverse a wide range of inflammatory-related symptoms and diseases, including allergies, obesity, asthma, cardiovascular disease, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, lupus, IBS, chronic headaches, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
Offering a foundation to understand the root cause of autoimmune issues, a 30-day protocol filled with easy, gluten-free recipes and meal plans, and a solution for navigating the medical maze once and for all,
The Myers Way is built on four pillars:
Eliminating toxic foods, such as sugar and caffeine, and inflammatory foods, like dairy, gluten, and grains, which disrupt our digestive system.Introducing restorative ingredients and supplements, such as quality proteins, healthy fats, and probiotics, to repair the gut and microbiome.Identifying environmental toxins in everyday products like shampoo, soap, cosmetics, detergent, and other household products.Healing autoimmune-related infections while relieving the mental, emotional, and physical stress that exacerbate the immune system’s response to external toxins.
Through this program, Dr. Myers has proved how conventional treatment methods are failing millions suffering from autoimmune diseases and their debilitating symptoms. Whether you have long dealt with chronic illness or are simply ready to restart your wellness journey, The Autoimmune Solution provides a hopeful, clear, and attainable path towards improving your gut health, healing your body, and achieving optimal health.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Functional medicine physician Myers, who once suffered from Graves' disease, claims that conventional medicine has failed the more than 50 million Americans with autoimmune diseases, which include lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. The "Myers Way" relies on the "four pillars": healing the gut (80% of the immune system, she notes, is located there); cutting out gluten; detoxifying the body; and dealing with infections (e.g., Epstein-Barr) and stress. Gluten, says Myers, causes inflammation and encourages leaky gut syndrome: avoid it, she advises, "like the plague" (in its hybridized state this is not the gluten, she explains, of our ancestors). Myers includes a 30-day meal plan for readers with autoimmune problems, replacing "inflammatory" ingredients like sugar, legumes, eggs, grains, and dairy with protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. In an appendix, she also includes a symptom tracker to help readers chart their progress. Though Myers's protocol requires discipline (particularly difficult for vegetarians), those with autoimmune issues should welcome this helpful and hopeful resource from a physician who walks her talk.
Customer Reviews
Why is this book so popular?
If you haven’t already heard, sugar, gluten, lectins, and processed foods are bad for you. I was hoping for something more than a 30 day meal plan of time consuming recipes- like all I have to do in life is forage for expensive organic foods and spend all day prepping, cooking and cleaning. Maybe less about the obvious- what not to do- and more about which foods specifically help, how, and why would be more useful.
Life-changing for those with auto-immune issues
While reading the inspiring book, I felt the first rays of hope for a vibrant retirement. The book is well-written, easy to follow, and thoughtfully covers my questions before I need to ask.
The AutoImmune Protocol
The author really explains the problems and challenges of an auto immune condition, and how to overcome, which is great and appreciated.
