Jill Brook, MA, is a long-time nutritionist, researcher and autoimmune patient benefiting from LDN. After earning degrees from Princeton University and UCLA, she worked for both universities and the Pritikin Longevity Center before opening a private practice in Southern California. After experiencing serious health challenges of her own, she now focuses her research and nutrition work on autoimmunity, gut health, SIBO, mast cell activation, gastroparesis, and specialized diets for healing.
In this interview Jill discusses what we should be doing diet wise to help Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) be more effective in our bodies.
Topics covered answer the questions:
“There are so many conflicting diets. What diet should people be following?”
“How would somebody who has never looked at their diet before go about looking to eliminate foods?”
“What about the blood test? Can they help show what foods you should avoid?”
“It's not easy to follow healthy eating. How does willpower come into this? What does the research show?”
“Could artificial sweeteners help get me off sugar?”
“How can I lose weight when I can't exercise?”
“Could digestive issues such as inflammation, leaky, gut, etc cause someone to have low sodium or potassium and vitamins?”
“For a patient with Mast Cell Activation and Autoimmune issues do you have any diet suggestions or inflammation information from your own experience that would help?”
