The Autoimmune Solution

Prevent and Reverse the Full Spectrum of Inflammatory Symptoms and Diseases

By: Amy Myers

Narrated by: Tanya Eby

Length: 7 hrs and 43 mins

Publisher's summary

Over 90 percent of the population suffers from inflammation or an autoimmune disorder. Until now, conventional medicine has said there is no cure. Minor irritations like rashes and runny noses are ignored, while chronic and debilitating diseases like Crohn's and rheumatoid arthritis are handled with a cocktail of toxic treatments that fail to address their root cause. But it doesn't have to be this way.

In The Autoimmune Solution, Dr. Amy Myers, a renowned leader in functional medicine, offers her medically proven approach to prevent a wide range of inflammatory-related symptoms and diseases, including allergies, obesity, asthma, cardiovascular disease, fibromyalgia, lupus, IBS, chronic headaches, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Not New To Autoimmune disease good for newbies

I liked the narrator. Interesting book. I am struggling to find the pdf to utilize.

Great information

Very eye opening and I’ll practice her suggestions. The only recommendation I have is for easy access to the PDFs for those of us who don’t buy a hard copy. Can’t find them.

Loved it

A must read for anyone dealing with autoimmunity/add/adhd/autism. Changed me and my son’s life!

where is the PDF enhancement?????

the book was very informative gave lots of tips for those dealing with autoimmune disease. But the audiobook refers to PDF enhancement and appendices which are not provided.

Narrator infuses too much opinion and condescensio

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Okay up through the first 5-6 chapters. After that, I couldn't listen any more due to the narrator's interpretation, which seemed to get worse with each successive chapter.

Who was your favorite character and why?

n/a

Would you be willing to try another one of Tanya Eby’s performances?

Absolutely not

Was The Autoimmune Solution worth the listening time?

Probably - some good technical information.

Can't wait to feel better!

It will be a lifestyle change but I have suffered with pain for over 10 years. I've tried everything. Can't wait to be pain free & live healthy.

Must read!

I love Dr Meyers she puts autoimmunity in a way that wveryine can understand and gives solutions.

It's a rough listen...

I am halfway through the audiobook so far. I find the narrator painful to listen too. Sometimes that can make it or break it for me, even if the content is interesting or relevant. I agree with some of the other reviewers that it does get repetitive but overall I think it's interesting. Traditional medicine has not worked for me and I do appreciate doctors out there that are willing to look at things differently. It could be a bit overwhelming for some to switch over to this eating plan but it's worth trying if you aren't getting results from other paths.

Extremely Informative

I have Grave’s Disease hyperthyroidism. This book was recommended to me by my functional medicine doctor and I am so glad I made the investment! It is so great to understand better the reasons and benefits for eliminating certain foods from my diet. Hearing the amazing success stories also gives me great motivation to be more disciplined. I highly recommend this book!

Life Saver

If you could sum up The Autoimmune Solution in three words, what would they be?

Thank you..

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Autoimmune Solution?

Her story is so relatable. The plan is do-able and not overwhelming. The meal plan and recipes help TREMENDOUSLY..

Would you be willing to try another one of Tanya Eby’s performances?

NO.. the narrator is awful and pretentious sounding. Almost robotic sounding, like an automated customer service rep or something..

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

That the author/doctor has first-hand experience dealing with autoimmune herself. It's so hard to find a doctor that understands AI, let alone has dealt with it themselves.

Any additional comments?

I've read some negative reviews, although I found this book extremely helpful. Yes, the narrator is awful and pretentious sounding, but the content is there. Yes, you can find a lot of this stuff by researching on your own, which I have done myself, but this summarizes it all in one book. I work full-time, and I'm sick. It's exhausting to research all of this on your own and make meal plans every weekend. The downloadable PDF was very helpful as it has an entire 30 day meal plan complete with recipes, as well as a chart of recommended supplements that you can buy either from her store OR from the alternative/comparable brands (that she recommends), which you can buy online from Amazon or elsewhere (which I did since I have Amazon Prime).
