What if chronic disease isn’t a lifelong sentence? In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. David Bilstrom, a quadruple board-certified Functional Medicine Physician, shares how autoimmune conditions, gut issues, and chronic illness are not just manageable—but reversible. Host Sana and Dr. Bilstrom dig into the science of epigenetics, exposing how lifestyle, stress, and hidden infections turn “bad” genes on—and how we can flip them off to reclaim our health. From the role of gut bacteria to meditation’s genetic impact, this episode challenges what we think we know about aging, disease, and healing. Whether you’re navigating illness or want to future-proof your family’s health, this one’s worth your full attention.
About the Guest: Dr. David Bilstrom is the Medical Director of the International Autoimmune Institute and a pioneer in using functional medicine to reverse chronic illness. With 30+ years of experience, he focuses on root-cause healing, gut health, and generational epigenetic shifts to change the future of healthcare.
Key Takeaways:
-
Chronic illness isn’t just “bad luck”—it’s often triggered by reversible gene expression patterns.
-
Gut infections, trauma, and vitamin deficiencies silently fuel autoimmune conditions.
-
Healing isn’t about managing symptoms with pills but resetting your body’s innate intelligence.
-
Meditation, butyrate, and lifestyle shifts have epigenetic power to influence 6–8 generations.
-
You don’t need perfect routines—just consistent, informed action to unlock healing.
