Are you exhausted from trying every diet, supplement, and protocol—only to find yourself stuck in the same cycle of fatigue and flares? In this episode, we go beyond symptom management and explore the real, transformative power of making your body feel truly safe—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—on your autoimmune healing journey.

Join host Holly B., lupus guide and energy restoration specialist, and special guest Christine Ruch—a holistic transformation guide who reversed her own multiple sclerosis diagnosis—as they share honest stories, science-backed insights, and practical strategies for women with autoimmune conditions who are ready to move beyond "just managing" and start reclaiming their lives.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why true healing for autoimmune diseases like lupus and MS goes far beyond food, supplements, or medication

• The surprising role of nervous system regulation in reversing chronic symptoms and reducing flares

• How to listen to your body's signals and break free from the "one-size-fits-all" approach to health

• The real reason "eating healthy" isn't enough—and how to discover what your body actually needs

• How trauma, stress, and mindset shape your healing journey (and what to do about it)

• Practical tools for calming your nervous system, building self-trust, and creating a foundation for lasting wellness

• Why all healing is self-healing—and how to step into your power as the expert on your own body

• The importance of deconditioning from limiting beliefs and societal expectations about chronic illness
