As tolerance declines, toxins and microbes drive deeper immune activation—pushing the system into chronic overreaction.
Types of toxic triggers and stress:
Gluten – A protein in wheat, barley, and rye that can trigger inflammation in sensitive individuals.
Dairy – Can cause immune reactions and digestive issues for some people.
Refined Sugar – Promotes inflammation and blood sugar imbalances.
Processed Foods – Often contain additives, preservatives, and unhealthy fats that can trigger immune responses.
Environmental Toxins – Includes pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals like mercury and lead.
Mold Exposure – Can cause chronic inflammation and immune system disruption.
Chronic Infections – Ongoing viral, bacterial, or fungal infections (e.g., Epstein-Barr virus, Lyme disease) keep the immune system in a constant state of alert.
Leaky Gut (Intestinal Permeability) – Allows toxins, food particles, and microbes to enter the bloodstream, triggering immune responses.
Nutrient Deficiencies – Low levels of key nutrients like vitamin D, zinc, selenium, and omega-3s impair immune regulation.
Food Sensitivities or Allergies – Repeated exposure to reactive foods (e.g., gluten, dairy, soy) can create chronic immune activation.
Sleep Deprivation – Poor or insufficient sleep reduces immune resilience and increases inflammation.
