Summary of Transcript:
• Dr. Jeffrey Bland explains that humans and the planet Earth get 90% of its calories from 10 out of 20,000 edible plants, causing a problem in food diversity.
• He discusses the idea of xenobiotics, persistent organic pollutants and detoxification processes as solutions to help with immune stress caused by industrialization and chemical agents.
• Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage contain glucosinolates leukocinolates which can activate genes in the liver to promote detoxification of foreign toxins.

Summary of Description:
Dr. Jeffrey Bland, the Father of Functional Medicine, suggests that the rise in autoimmune diseases globally may be tied to our diet. He believes that nature holds the key to treating diseases, not just extracting one nutrient like big pharma does. Global immune stress causes higher cortisol levels, which interferes with the effectiveness of our immune system. Bland recommends being conscious of our daily food choices and environmental stressors to minimize future diseases. Bland also emphasizes personalizing one’s diet based on their individual needs and highlights the wisdom found in nature.

Autoimmune Disease and Our Diet: Dr. Jeffrey Bland Explains
Autoimmune disease is becoming increasingly prevalent across the globe with no apparent explanation. In this informative video, Dr. Jeffrey Bland, the Father of Functional Medicine, explores the relationship between our diet and the rise in autoimmune conditions.
Dr. Bland advocates for the science of hope, which acknowledges that nature holds wisdom that needs to be harnessed to treat and prevent debilitating diseases. He argues that the nutritional complexity found in natural foods cannot be replaced by a single nutrient extract commonly used by big pharma.
Global immune stress is causing an increase in cortisol levels, which can inexplicably lead to a reduction in the effectiveness of our immune system. Being conscious of our daily dietary choices and stressors is a crucial step in minimizing the diseases we are faced with.
During the video, Dr. Bland shares insights about the benefits of consuming superfoods, rejuvenating our immune system, and personalizing our diet. He also highlights the problem with modernity and stresses the importance of returning to nature’s wisdom to achieve optimal health.
Dr. Bland’s thought-provoking quotes, such as “Alzheimer’s is not a disease. It’s a complex outcome from the marriage of our genes with our environment, with our lifestyle,” challenges our traditional perspectives on illness and encourages people to listen to and consider alternative ideas.
Functional medicine, as described by Dr. Bland, can provide individuals with a personalized diagnosis for their unique health situation. The treatment of functional medicine is geared towards statistical humans, which takes into account an individual’s diagnosis instead of defining a person solely based on their illness.
Dr. Bland’s approach to medicine prioritizes turning on the genes that promote healing while turning off the genes that cause harm; his final mantra is that the “right genes” can be activated through a proper diet that consists of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and healthy fats.

On Today’s Episode:
Autoimmune disease has been on the rise for the last few decades. Everything seems to be idiopathic in nature, but you have to wonder, is our diet tied to the rise in autoimmune conditions being diagnosed globally?
Dr. Jeffrey Bland is considered to be the Father of Functional Medicine and the President of Big Bold Health. He stands for the science of hope that there is wisdom in nature that needs to be adhered to and not forgotten. Dr. Bland is quick to remind us that big pharma cannot extract one nutrient to treat a condition when all of the complexities of food found in nature are needed.
Global Immune stress is creating greater levels of cortisol and interfering with the effectiveness of your immune system. Becoming a person who is conscious of the dietary choices they make daily and environmental stressors being tolerated will allow us to minimize the diseases we are doomed to face if we make no changes at all.

QUOTES:
“I don’t think we have autoimmunity. What we have is an immune reaction to our self being converted into non-self.” [11:42]
“That’s one of the problems we have with nutritional supplementation in this country and the way we view it, is we often think about green pharmacy, ‘okay we have a drug now what is the nutrient we can find that mimics that drug’. That’s not the way nature works.” [31:29]
“I don’t have to accept every idea, but I have to listen carefully. There’s wisdom out there that I may not be able to understand if I’m just channeled in my own myopia.” [50:26]
“The successful treatments are in the wisdom of nature, it’s in the wisdom that we need to go back and relearn.” [1:08:38]
“Alzheimers’s is not a disease. It’s a complex outcome from the marriage of our genes with our environment, with our lifestyle.” [1:08:51]
“Functional medicine is for real people, […] medicine that we use is built around statistical humans. You get a diagnosis, and that is who you are.” [1:11:03]
“When you turn on the right genes and turn off the genes that are giving you problems, that’s real medicine.” [1:26:00]
