One in three adults is impacted by some form of allergic disease. This rise in allergies affects nearly 15 percent of the U.S. population and runs in tandem with autoimmunity, which suggests that immune system dysregulation could be to blame.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Elroy Vojdani to discuss the topic of food sensitivities, the top sources, and their impact on the development and progression of autoimmune disease.

Dhru and Dr. Vojdani discuss what puts people at risk for developing food allergies, the difference between intolerances and sensitivities, the benefits and limitations of traditional allergy tests, and alternative testing options. Dr. Vojdani also walks us through how to identify and remove problem foods from your diet while taking practical steps to repair the gut and restore immune function.

Dr. Vojdani is the founder of Regenera Medical, a boutique Functional Medicine practice in Los Angeles, California. Dr. Vojdani began his medical career as an interventional radiologist. While this experience gave him unique insights into hospital-based medicine, his mission to stop disease before it reaches that point remains at the core of his desire to practice medicine. Today, he continues in his father’s footsteps – pioneering to find answers to medical conditions that go undiagnosed and untreated. Dr. Vojdani has coauthored over 20 scientific articles and continues to play an integral role in research on autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and autoinflammatory conditions. He is the author of When Food Bites Back: Taking Control of Autoimmune Disease.
