Why Autoimmunity Is on the Rise with Dr. Aristo Vojdani

In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy sits down with Dr. Aristo Vojdani, one of the most cited immunologists in the world, with over 50 years of clinical research and more than 200 published studies. He opens with the data that most doctors have not talked openly about: anti-nuclear antibody positivity in the so-called healthy population has risen from roughly 1% in 1970 to an estimated 20% today. He explains why better testing is not the reason, and what environmental exposures, heavy metals, viral particles, toxic chemicals, and immune system dysregulation are actually driving that rise.   Dr. Vojdani also introduces a framework that is both practical and urgent: the four zones of autoimmunity, green, yellow, orange, and red, and explains why antibodies show up in the blood three to 19 years before symptoms of full autoimmune disease ever appear. That window is not just a warning. It is an opportunity. He walks through the specific lab panels available today that can tell you where you are in that spectrum, what cross-reactivity between viruses and human tissue means for conditions like MS, liver autoimmunity, and long COVID, and what actually keeps the immune system in balance at the cellular level.   If your body feels like it's running on empty, overburdened, or just not responding the way it used to, Haylie's latest book, Toxic Overload, tells you exactly what to do.
