What if autoimmunity wasn't the body turning against you, but a call for deeper care and understanding?

In this episode of Healthily, I'm joined by Nutritional Therapist Elisa Ferguson, who specialises in supporting people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). We explore the wider story behind autoimmune conditions – including how stress, gut health, trauma, and diet all interact in powerful ways.

We take a look at the cell danger response – a protective mechanism where the body essentially "hits pause" on certain functions to deal with threat. When this response becomes chronic, it can contribute to many chronic conditions, including MS.

Together, we reflect on why people often fall down rabbit holes in search of solutions, and how to find a gentler, more effective way forward. This is an episode full of insight, calm, and connection – not just for those living with MS, but for anyone curious about how to support whole-body health through the lens of autoimmunity.
