Synopsis

The only guide to healing psoriasis and arthritis that is backed by the latest scientific research.

Written by a molecular biologist who successfully treated her own psoriatic arthritis by putting this research into practice.

Join Rebecca Fett on a journey through fascinating new discoveries about how gut microbes impact autoimmune disease and how we can harness this power to stop inflammation at the source.

By translating cutting-edge science into practical advice on dietary changes, probiotics, and other anti-inflammatory supplements, this book offers an effective and evidence-based approach to naturally heal psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, IBD, and other autoimmune diseases.

You'll discover:

How to tackle harmful gut bacteria (and SIBO) while supporting beneficial species

Why some aspects of the AIP or Paleo diet can be counterproductive

How coconut oil and other so-called healthy foods can actually worsen inflammation

Why a low-starch diet is so helpful for AS and other types of arthritis

Which probiotics can help to calm the immune system.

Complete with a chapter of easy recipes, you will be able to follow the exact approach the author took to get out of pain, clear psoriasis, and reclaim her health. Get the book now to learn how.

About this title

From the Back Cover

We are currently witnessing a paradigm shift in the understanding of autoimmune disease.  The latest scientific research reveals that the balance of bacteria in an individual's microbiome can have a profound impact on inflammation throughout the body. 

In those with psoriasis or autoimmune arthritis, there is often a characteristic lack of certain beneficial bacteria that normally regulate the immune system - known as"keystone" species.  This is typically coupled with an overabundance of potentially harmful bacteria that further trigger the inflammatory response.  The Keystone Approach calms inflammation at the source by restoring the balance of good and bad bacteria in the microbiome.

Based on an in-depth analysis of the latest scientific evidence, The Keystone Approach also explains how to optimize the Mediterranean diet for the greatest reduction in inflammation,  along with providing detailed guidance for choosing supplements supported by good-quality clinical trials.
