37:20 A carnivore diet can lower symptoms or cure autoimmune diseases by removing grains and lectins.

- The body creates antibodies to fight these proteins, leading to autoimmune disease.
- Going carnivore removes grains and lectins, helping to heal the gut and combat autoimmune disease.
- Even milk, especially A2 milk, can still cause intestinal permeability.
- Diet is the biggest contributing factor to autoimmune disease.
- Other factors like epigenetics and environmental toxins can also contribute, but diet is key.
