In this episode I speak with Robyn Puglia (IFMCP) on the role infections play in autoimmune disease. We discuss what autoimmune disease is, genetic predispositions and how they relate to autoimmune disease, the immune system and the immune response, the pre-requisites that are thought to be needed for the onset of autoimmunity, and resilience of the host. This final point led us to discuss the importance of taking a broad more generalised approach as well a narrower more specific approach when supporting an individual with autoimmune disease.
