What’s the Root Cause? Autoimmune Disease

Autoimmune disorders impact more than 23 million people in the US, and of that, 80% are women. The inflammation created by what we eat is a driver of autoimmune disease — but how? And why are women more acutely affected? Join Plant Powered Metro New York for this virtual exploration of the root causes of autoimmune conditions, featuring Brooke Goldner, MD. 

In honor of International Women's Day, Dr. Goldner will share her story of healing from lupus and stage 4 kidney failure as well as the building blocks of a hyper-nourishing plant-based diet for a healthy immune system. You’ll learn how to reverse various autoimmune conditions and optimize your immune system with supermarket foods. Discover the keys to vibrant health and resilience, as Dr. Goldner inspires and guides us on a journey towards immune wellness.

Dr. Goldner is a board-certified physician known worldwide for developing a nutrition-based treatment for her own autoimmune disease, lupus.
