In Part 3 of our four-part Fuelling Your Health series, Dr Phil Choi helps unpack how the immune system, gut health and inflammation are all connected in the context of ITP.
ITP is an autoimmune condition, which means the immune system is mistakenly targeting platelets. While no single food can reset or repair immune function, some dietary approaches may help reduce inflammation and support immune balance over time.
We explore emerging links between gut health and autoimmunity, the role of anti-inflammatory nutrients, and how to make food choices that support your overall wellbeing.
