THE AUTOIMMUNE CURE
We know that autoimmune disease—a condition when the body’s immune system attacks its own healthy tissue and cells—affects about one in ten Americans, or 24 million people, with prevalence increasing worldwide. Some of the most common autoimmune diseases include rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, celiac disease, vitiligo, alopecia areata, and post-COVID syndrome (or “long COVID”.) But as New York Times bestselling
author Dr. Sara Szal Gottfried explains in an eye-opening new book—THE AUTOIMMUNE CURE: Healing the Trauma and Other Triggers That Have Turned Your Body Against You (March 2024)—autoimmune disease may be even more pervasive than we realize—and its root cause may surprise you.
Conventional medicine falls short when it comes to both diagnosing and treating autoimmune disease. Many people suffer from mysterious symptoms—like severe fatigue, brain fog, aches and pains, feelings of tingling and numbness, stubborn weight gain, abdominal pain, digestive problems, hair loss, insomnia, and even anxiety— and don’t realize their immune system is at the root of their symptoms. In her precision medicine practice, Dr. Szal Gottfried noticed a seemingly unusual pattern: many of her patients who suffer from autoimmune disease and symptoms have a history of trauma. Emerging research shows that up to 80% of patients with autoimmune disease experienced significant emotional distress before getting sick.
With THE AUTOIMMUNE CURE, there is hope on the horizon for the tens of millions of people who suffer from autoimmune disease. Dr. Szal Gottfried explains the connection with trauma and autoimmunity and has created a powerful program designed to break the vicious cycle of autoimmune disease, reset your immune system, andrestore your health, with advice on:
- Elimination Diets—A diagnostic tool to identify foods that trigger the immune system
- Nutritional Modulation—Four areas to address for the long term: nutrient gaps, poor digestion, toxic backlog, and blood sugar spikes
- Sleep—How to measure your sleep and the eight steps to better sleep
- Toxic Stress—How to manage stress and regulate cortisol with stress resilience techniques
- Supplements—Immunumodulators such as black cumin, polyphenols, curcumin, resveratrol, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and more
- Breathwork—Reclaim the breath as opposed to breathing on autopilot
- Microbiome Restoration—Optimize the microbiome through nutrition, supplements, and more
- Somatic Therapy—Therapies such as Hakomi, a form of mindfulness-based somatic therapy, also described as assisted self-study
- Psychedelic Therapies—Research backed, medically sound therapies working with trusted and experienced clinicians, such as ketamine-assisted treatment, microdosing psilocybin, MDMA-assisted therapy and others
THE AUTOIMMUNE CURE offers a roadmap to lasting relief from autoimmune disease by addressing the root cause of the condition and healing the body, mind, and spirit

Praise
"Dr. Sara is the best interview I've ever had. I have interviewed a ton of people but she has IT. Tremendous!"
--JJVirgin, Author, The Virgin Diet
"Dr. Gottfried was described by our participants as 'a heavy hitter,' 'the real deal,' 'impressive,' and by one physician attendee, 'a babe.' Her grace creates a comfortable environment for learning, particularly since so much of her information is cutting edge and controversial in conventional medical circles. Her professionalism in keeping to her schedule, honoring questions, and supporting her colleagues is a dream for an event organizer. Her flexibility, both on and off the yoga mat, and her willingness to add elements, support the programming, embrace the experience, and share her personal stories made her an invaluable presenter AND partner. Her intelligence, research, and experience lends credibility to any conference, and creates value for any participant. The only complaint I have is that she wasn’t able to present more, and I will most certainly invite her back."
--Erin Kennedy, Marketing Manager, Copper Mountain
"Dr. Sara Gottfried MD is the most original voice in Women's Health today. Her brilliance, incisive ability to analyze cutting-edge medical research and apply it directly to issues, is unparalleled in today's hurry-up health care world."
--Susan Harrow, Author, Sell Yourself Without Selling Your Soul
"As an established radio host who has interviewed many guest experts, it was a thrill and a refreshing treat to interview such as class act as Dr. Sara. She really stood out above all other guests as having an innate ability to deliver amazing content in a way that really served my listeners, while being a shining example of integrity, authenticity and grace. Dr. Sara also stood out as a true authority on hormones--unlike any doctor I've encountered. She is one of the few guests that has a lifetime invitation to appear on my show and I would recommend her to any media personality that is craving having a guest that shines above all others."
--Jennifer Longmore, Founder of Souljourneys.ca, Internationally acclaimed host of "Soul Purpose Central"
"It was wonderful doing fierce femme radio with Dr. Sara Gottfried on NPR's 51%, my Alive and Kicking segment, and my local KVYN morning show, Wednesday Wellness Wakeup, here in Napa, CA. She is not afraid to talk openly about the whole spectrum of issues surrounding women's health and wellness. Sara has connected the dots between hard science and the divine feminine. This sacred balance makes her an incredibly unique and amazing woman. Best of all, this gutsy integrative physician is fun, fun fun!"
"Dr. Sara Gottfried is one of the best radio guests we've ever had in studio! She is extremely knowledgeable, incredibly personable and a great addition to our show. There's no one else with whom we want to talk HORMONES! We can't wait to have her back!"

"I have had the opportunity to hear Dr. Sara Gottfried MD speak and teach on several occasions. I am amazed at how effortlessly she presents cutting edge scientific research in the field of health and hormones and relates it to her audience in an easy to understand and practical way. Dr. Gottfried is a master at sharing her own struggles and successes to connect with her audience, presenting the latest in health related research to propose practical solutions based on sound science, and leaving the audience with valuable takeaways that they can apply immediately in their own lives. She engages her audience from the start and leaves them hungry for more!"
