085 - Dr. Taylor Talks The Step-by-Step Guide to Overcoming Autoimmunity

Most people with autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, leaky gut, or gut health issues are handed a diagnosis and told there's nothing they can do, no roadmap, no plan, just manage your symptoms. In this episode, Dr. Taylor Krick breaks down the exact step-by-step healing journey he uses with patients to achieve real, lasting results through functional medicine, lab testing, and root cause thinking. Whether you're dealing with autoimmunity, inflammation, food sensitivities, or unexplained symptoms, this episode gives you the framework to finally understand where you are and where you need to go.Dr. Taylor covers the most important functional labs to run first (organic acids test, GI MAP stool test, and blood panels), how to structure supplements in short-term, mid-term, and long-term phases, and why your mindset and the questions you ask are more predictive of healing than any protocol. You'll also hear why root cause medicine isn't about finding one answer and what actually drives people across the finish line.If you're stuck, plateaued, or just starting your journey, this episode is your roadmap.Subscribe for new episodes every week on functional medicine, autoimmunity, and healing.Time Stamps:00:00 – Why Conventional Medicine Fails Autoimmune Patients 05:39 – What a Real Functional Medicine Roadmap Looks Like 10:09 – The 4 Questions Every Practitioner Should Ask at Follow-Ups 18:00 – Best Functional Labs for Autoimmunity: OAT, GI MAP & Blood Panels 26:01 – What an Organic Acids Test Actually Reveals About Your Health 33:52 – Root Cause Medicine: Why There's No Single Cause of Illness 38:39 – The Mindset That Determines Who Actually Heals 49:18 – Diet & Supplements for Autoimmunity: Short, Mid & Long-Term Strategy57:52 – How to Know When You've Reached the Other Side of Healing 1:01:00 – Why Proactive Lab Testing Matters Even When You Feel Great#AutoimmuneDisease #FunctionalMedicine #GutHealth
