Andrew and Kat get into why autoimmune disease feels like it's everywhere lately, and whether that's actually true or just feels that way because more people are talking about it now. They go through the real numbers on how many women vs. men actually get diagnosed, and honestly it's kind of wild how long it takes people to get an answer, we're talking years and a handful of different doctors.
Then they get into the gut side of things, and turns out a leaky gut might show up before autoimmune disease even develops, not after, like most people assume. Kat runs through all the everyday stuff that adds up over the years, antibiotics, birth control, NSAIDs, alcohol, years of dieting, none of it feels like a big deal in the moment, but it adds up.
Also in this one: P&G buying Thorne for $3.8 billion and what that actually means for supplements, a real take on colostrum, and one easy thing you can start doing this week for a healthier gut.
