4 Steps to Reverse Autoimmune Disease | Dr. Amy Myers

Dr. Amy Myers was diagnosed with Graves' disease within a year of losing her mother to pancreatic cancer — and after having her thyroid ablated in medical school, she's spent two decades helping people reverse the autoimmune conditions most doctors say you'll have for life. In this conversation, Dr. Myers and Dr. Axe break down why autoimmunity so often starts with leaky gut and a stressful event, the nutrients your thyroid needs to turn T4 into active T3, and the labs most doctors skip — including antibodies that can show up six to ten years before a diagnosis. Dr. Myers also shares the four pillars of her revised book, The Autoimmune Solution, and how toxic mold, PTSD, and a cancer scare taught her that healing trauma is part of healing the body. If you've been curious about Hashimoto's, Graves', thyroid labs, gut health, or the mind-body side of healing, this episode gives you a root-cause roadmap that most doctors have never mentioned.
