Autoimmune PaleoAutoimmune Protocol

Review of The Paleo Approach, by Sarah Ballantyne, Ph.D.

Bravissima!! The Paleo Approach by Sarah Ballantyne is filled with tons of health empowering, myth-busting, smart as heck science along with engaging illustrations that deliver the most current research for both patients and practitioners to reverse autoimmune disease and heal! After honing in on the multiple causes of immune dysfunction, we are shown how to change the game by optimizing immune function instead. Dr. Ballantyne’s careful research reveals how nutrient-dense diets, along with specific lifestyle adjustments, often translate to disease reversal. In The Paleo Approach, we are guided to understand immune function, modern Nutrigenomics, Paleo nutrition, the importance of nutrient density, how to select and source the most beneficial foods, and the detailed science behind autoimmune Paleo diet.

The Paleo Approach is all about balance- i.e., checking all pieces of the puzzle (e.g., digestion, hormones, stress, sleep, having fun) and considering what needs the most attention for you to kiss your autoimmune disease goodbye! This book is a treasure for all health care providers and anyone with an autoimmune illness seeking to reverse it effectively. Besides avoiding inflammatory and immune stimulating foods, The Paleo Approach champions nutrient-dense foods that we are genetically programmed to eat, maintaining gut health, spending time outdoors, reducing stress, and being intentional about great sleep.

I have applied the Paleo approach, which has resulted in decreased flare-ups associated with Ankylosing Spondylitis. I have also witnessed countless patients in my practice who notice a return of energy, reduced inflammation, improved digestion, and decreased flare-ups. The Paleo Approach is imperative for patients and practitioners like MD’s, L.Ac.’s, DC’s, RN’s, RD’s CNC’s, who prefer a natural and robust solution for resolving immune/inflammatory conditions.

The Paleo Approach will raise many discussions between patients and healthcare providers and will continue to elevate the importance of disease prevention and resolution. Thank you, Sarah Ballantyne, Ph.D., for this masterful contribution to science and all of us. You can find The Paleo Approach on Amazon.
