In today’s episode, my former teacher from the Institute of Holistic Nutrition, Brett Hawes, joins us to discuss autoimmune diseases. Brett is a certified Functional Medicine Practitioner and Holistic Nutritionist who has been with the Institute for 12 years and currently serves as a student clinic adviser. He runs an online clinic specializing in complex and chronic digestive issues, hormone health, and autoimmune diseases. Brett also hosts the well-regarded ‘Holistic Health Masterclass’ podcast, which I absolutely love—it’s packed with useful information. With Brett’s extensive experience, you’re going to want to take plenty of notes!
He starts by sharing how he got into holistic health and his thoughts on why so many people face chronic illnesses today, while also explaining what autoimmune diseases are. Brett touches on the risks associated with ‘Roundup’ before diving into key factors that impact the autoimmune system, such as diet, stress, and the environment. He wraps up by highlighting how autoimmune, adrenal, and hormone issues often occur together and advises that all three be considered when dealing with autoimmune health. Brett’s passion and vast knowledge are evident as he provides invaluable insights and recommendations that can significantly influence your health and life.
