Ever feel like your body is working against you—like you're doing everything "right," but you're still exhausted, inflamed, or dealing with weird symptoms no one can explain?

You might be dealing with an autoimmune disease, something that affects more Americans than cancer and heart disease combined.

And yet, autoimmune diseases are often misunderstood and misdiagnosed.

And here's what's rarely talked about: they can develop silently for years before symptoms ever appear.

That's why understanding autoimmune disease requires more than just managing symptoms.

It demands that we look deeper at root causes like gut health, immune dysfunction, nutrient depletion, and chronic stress.

In this episode, I dive into the mysterious world of autoimmune disease. I share why your immune system (meant to protect you) gets confused and starts attacking your own body.

I also dig into practical strategies to support your immune system, how to spot early warning signs, and how to avoid falling into the trap of chasing symptoms.
