Dr. Josh Redd runs one of the largest autoimmune clinics in the country and has spent 16 years helping patients conventional medicine gave up on. His core insight: inflammation in short bouts is life-saving, but when chronic, it becomes the key driver of nearly all disease. This is the mechanism behind why diets keep failing, gut supplements don't work, and you might feel like you're going crazy when it's actually your brain that's inflamed. Dr. Redd explains why eating less and exercising more can make things worse, how your brain controls your gut (not the reverse), and why "healthy" foods might be fueling your autoimmune fire.
