Dr. Robert Roundtree is a family practice physician and holistic medicine practitioner who is an expert in herbology, mind-body therapies, and the science of food and nutrition. He’s probably my favorite teacher of the immune system, bringing clarity through humor as he dissects for us the intricacies of the immune system and how we can guide it back to balance. 

In this conversation, we’re talking about how MS develops, using a functional medicine lens. Listen in to learn about immune tolerance and why its loss is a crucial step in the development of MS and other autoimmune diseases.  We’ll also talk about the impact of nutrition on immune health, the importance of emotion regulation, and so much more. 

Dr. Rountree is the author of multiple books on integrative medicine, covering nutrition to infections, herbs, and more.
