Dr. Rogers walks through the true root causes of autoimmune disease: from leaky gut and gut bacteria to overlooked triggers like fluoride, glyphosate, mitochondrial damage, and even amino acid substitutions. If you’re tired of “mystery illness” and symptom-chasing, this is a talk you don’t want to miss.
He highlights the incredible recoveries seen with a low-fat, plant-based diet — including from conditions like multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus — and offers a roadmap for those who want real results, not endless medications.
