Breaking the Cycle of Decline: Reversing Autoimmune Disease, Low Testosterone & Chronic Illness in Men with Dr. David Bilstrom

In this powerful episode of Mind Over Masculinity, Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. David Bilstrom, a quadruple board-certified leader in functional and regenerative medicine, to challenge everything you’ve been told about aging, chronic illness, and masculinity. They discuss why autoimmune diseases, low testosterone, and heart attacks in young men are on the rise—and how these conditions can often be reversed by treating root causes, not just symptoms.

Dr. Bilstrom shares how environmental factors, hormone imbalances, and gut health play critical roles in men's physical and mental health. He also explains why “old age” is not a diagnosis and how men can thrive well into their 90s by understanding their bodies differently.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to reclaim their vitality and rewrite the story of their health.

About the Guest:
Dr. David Bilstrom is the Director of the International Autoimmune Institute, the first teaching hospital center dedicated to preventing and reversing autoimmune disease through functional medicine. With decades of experience, he has helped thousands of men and women heal from the inside out by addressing underlying causes instead of masking symptoms.

Key Takeaways:

Autoimmune diseases and chronic illness are not inevitable; they are often reversible when root causes are addressed.
Low testosterone levels in men, often seen in their 20s today, are linked to environmental factors like electromagnetic fields, stress, nutritional deficiencies, and toxin buildup.
Gut health and inflammation are at the core of many chronic health problems, including heart disease, depression, and obesity.
Traditional medicine often waits until catastrophic symptoms appear, missing opportunities for early prevention.
“Old age” is not a valid diagnosis; with the right approach, men can remain vibrant and healthy into their 90s.
Listening to your body’s signals and making foundational changes—such as improving gut health, balancing hormones, and reducing toxins—can dramatically shift your health trajectory.
