After years of testing nearly every diet out there — paleo, keto, blood type, elimination diets — Dr. Rutherford explains how his clinic landed on one foundational diet that worked for the vast majority of chronic illness patients, often producing results in weeks instead of months.
In Part 4 of the Functional Foundational Paradigm series, Dr. Rutherford walks through the diet his practice used with thousands of fibromyalgia, Hashimoto's, autoimmune, and chronic mystery disease patients: a modified autoimmune paleo diet, customized using food sensitivity testing and blood sugar patterns. He explains exactly why this combination became such a turning point in his clinical results — and how it addresses leaky gut, SIBO, dysbiosis, and inflammation all at once.
In this video you'll learn:
🔹 How the autoimmune paleo diet was combined with food sensitivity testing to create a true foundational diet
🔹 Why removing allergens alone isn't enough for chronic illness patients
🔹 The difference between reactive hypoglycemia and insulin resistance — and how to tell which one you have
🔹 Why how you feel after eating is one of the most important clues about your blood sugar
🔹 How this diet addresses SIBO, leaky gut, and gut dysbiosis simultaneously
🔹 What to expect in your first few weeks — including cravings, keto flu, and possible SIBO die-off
This is the dietary foundation that, combined with the supplement protocol coming next, became the turning point in recovery for the vast majority of Dr. Rutherford's patients.
