078_Understanding Autoimmune Disease from a Nutritional Perspective with Dr. Bob Rakowski

Today on the show I interview one of my long-time nutrition mentors, Bob Rakowski. “Dr. Bob” as he’s affectionately known, is a Chiropractor, Kinesiologist, Certified Clinical Nutritionist, Certified Biological Terrain Instructor, and the clinic director of the Natural Medicine Center in Houston Texas. In addition to running a busy practice, Dr. Rakowski has lectured internationally for over 24 years on various topics in Natural and Lifestyle Medicine.    He has appeared on numerous television programs and international radio talk shows. He is a recognized expert in functional endocrinology and in-office diagnostic procedures to assess nutrition status. His clinical experience ranges from treating elite professional athletes to critically ill patients with a variety of cancers and autoimmune diseases.   In this episode, we discuss the numerous impacts of our lifestyle on our immune system, including sleep, hydration, nutrient deficiencies, as well as stress management.   Additional show notes and links at: www.bslnutrition.com/episode78
