Autoimmune

Autoimmune (Broad)
Morning & Evening Protocol

Root cause chain: Gut permeability → immune trigger unresolved → antibodies attack own tissue → systemic inflammation → organ involvement

Every step is built around the biological chain driving this specific condition — not generic wellness advice.

🌅
Morning Protocol
Wake → first 90 minutes
1
Anti-inflammatory hydration first. 500ml water with pinch of Himalayan salt and lemon. Autoimmune conditions create cellular dehydration through chronic inflammatory cytokine activity.
2
Gentle movement only — 15 minutes. Walking, gentle yoga, or stretching. High-intensity exercise releases IL-6 and TNF-alpha — the same cytokines driving the autoimmune attack. This is immune regulation, not fitness.
3
Vitamin D3 5,000 IU with K2. Most powerful immune regulator available. Shifts immune response from Th17 (inflammatory, autoimmune) toward T-regulatory cells (calming). Optimal: 70-80 ng/mL.
4
Omega-3 2-3g EPA/DHA with breakfast. EPA directly competes with arachidonic acid — reducing inflammatory prostaglandins driving tissue damage. This dose is therapeutic, not supplemental.
5
Symptom journal — 2 minutes. Record flare triggers: food, sleep quality, stress, new exposures. Pattern recognition over 30 days reveals personal triggers lab tests miss.
6
AIP-compliant breakfast. Autoimmune Protocol removes grains, legumes, dairy, eggs, nightshades, nuts, seeds, alcohol. 30-day minimum. Reintroduction identifies individual triggers precisely.
Avoid in the morning
NSAIDs — increase gut permeability and worsen the upstream driver. High-intensity exercise. Sugar — directly stimulates Th17 inflammatory pathway. Known trigger foods.
🌙
Evening Protocol
3 hours before sleep → sleep onset
1
Turmeric with black pepper at dinner. Curcumin inhibits NF-kB — the master switch for inflammatory gene expression. Piperine increases curcumin absorption by 2,000%. Take with fat-containing meal.
2
20 minutes stress reduction — non-negotiable. Psychological stress directly elevates IL-6 and TNF-alpha — the cytokines driving tissue destruction. This is immune regulation, not lifestyle advice.
3
Cold shower finish — 2-3 minutes (optional). Activates norepinephrine — a potent anti-inflammatory. Increases vagal tone. Do not use during an active flare.
4
Magnesium glycinate 400mg and melatonin 0.5-1mg. Sleep is when the immune system performs maintenance. Low-dose melatonin is an immune modulator — direct anti-inflammatory properties, not just sleep aid.
5
Bedroom temperature 18-20°C. Autoimmune conditions are worsened by heat. Cool room reduces overnight inflammatory cytokine production and reduces morning stiffness.
Avoid in the evening
Alcohol — directly activates NF-kB inflammatory pathway. Processed foods with emulsifiers. News and stress content before sleep — elevates overnight cortisol and inflammatory markers. Late eating.

A protocol is a starting point.
The root cause is the destination.

These steps address the biological environment. A root cause conversation identifies which specific upstream drivers are active in your case — and builds the protocol around your biology specifically.
