About this item

New York Times bestselling author Dr. Sara Gottfried reveals how trauma can rewire your body to trigger autoimmune diseases—and provides a comprehensive plan to reset your immune system and finally heal.

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. But as New York Times bestselling author Dr. Sara Gottfried explains in this eye-opening new book, 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. 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. Gottfried has created a powerful program designed to break the vicious cycle of autoimmune disease, reset your immune system, and restore your health, with advice on:

  • diet
  • sleep
  • supplements
  • breathwork
  • microbiome restoration
  • somatic therapy
  • ketamine-assisted treatment
  • microdosing psilocybin
  • MDMA-assisted therapy

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.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Autoimmune Disease: The Ultimate Guide for Self Healing
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2024
Dr.Sara Gottfried, thanks for taking a courageous step towards pausing and asking the provocative “Why” questions with respect to the etiology of autoimmune disease. I too have experienced ongoing assaults on my physiology secondary to toxic stress and trauma. Traditional doctors have discounted my thoughts regarding the link between stress and bodily breakdown. Despite numerous surgeries followed by years of traditional PT, the resolution of my pervasive pain has been a work in progress. Now I sense that the multidimensional trauma is stuck in my body. A profound peace has permeated throughout my emotional, mental and spiritual being knowing that there is a promising healing path awaiting me. I am deeply grateful for your wisdom, love and compassion for humanity.

This book is a fascinating read. It’s too bad most doctors are not yet on board.

A very thorough exploration of autoimmune disease. Sara Gottfried is well known for her previous work on hormones, and this did not disappoint. It should be noted that this book does promote Dr. Gottfried’s own autoimmune “plan.” Hopefully that won’t result in anyone discounting the wealth of information presented within. I learned quite a bit, and have already recommended it to several people.

Such a great read! Scientific heavy but doesn't read like a textbook. Amazing information about the body/gut/mind connection. Really makes you think!

A lot of "filler". A lot of repetition.

There is so much to learn about how our bodies actually work to heal us and how we can empower ourselves to resolve many issues.

If you can’t seem to get answers, have “normal” labs, and feel your body functions to be off, grab this book and start learning for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars RELEVANT AND ESSENTIAL

The Autoimmune Cure is a must-read for anyone who has battled trauma and/or autoimmune disease, which the book proves often go hand-in-hand. Dr. Sara Gottfried’s new book helped me better understand my own undiagnosed autoimmune problems that I have battled over my lifetime— and what to do about them! I can’t wait to put the ideas I’ve learned here to use. I also appreciate that this research and wisdom emanated from what she learned from her own struggles. I too can relate to, for years, ignoring my body, the anxiety I lived with in a difficult marriage, racing at work, the physical pain I felt but didn’t acknowledge, which I can now see took a toll on my health. I had to confront, as she calls it, the “disassociation between body and mind.” The book offers a plan for healing and how to get “unstuck.” Useful. A great read. Well done!

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful with practical advice
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2024
Dr. Sara's latest book was a captivating read that I couldn't put down. As a longtime fan, I had high expectations, and I'm pleased to say that they were met and exceeded. Her insights have already taught me so much.

For years, I've struggled with severe autoimmune conditions like Vitiligo and Hashimoto's. What struck me most was Dr. Sara's exploration of the connection between these conditions and stress stored in the body. It's something I hadn't considered before, but it makes so much sense.

While I'm still absorbing all the information (I've only just finished reading it!), I feel hopeful about implementing Dr. Sara's protocols. I've wasted no time in starting her recommended interventions and have reached out to my doctor about tests she suggests – tests my doctor had never mentioned despite my ongoing health issues.

I found the chapter on psychedelics particularly interesting. While I'm not sure if it's something I'll pursue, it was enlightening to read about the real experiences behind the sensationalized news stories.

Overall, I highly recommend this book, especially for those like me who have struggled to find effective ways to manage their health and navigate the medical system. Thanks to Dr. Sara, I finally feel equipped to work with my body rather than against it.
