Are you or someone you know struggling with an autoimmune disease? Want to know how to best prevent or manage an active flare? Curious to hear what Ali keeps in her toolbelt to manage her autoimmune condition? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki break down autoimmune disease from its root causes to diagnostic criteria to how flares present themselves. Learn about the stress connection and what occurs in the body under stress on a cellular level, plus get tips and tricks for rebounding your body and getting autoimmune disease into remission!

 

In this episode, Ali and Becki go deep into how stress and HPA axis dysfunction can manifest as a new autoimmune diagnosis or a flare of a known condition. Stress in and of itself can imbalance gut bacteria, drive leaky gut and cause an inflammatory shift in the body that left unchecked can wreak havoc on the immune system! Learn about how to rebalance and support the immune system versus suppress it using diet and strategic supplementation. Find out what Ali’s go-to formulas are for stress management, managing inflammation and supporting immune system resilience to turn off attack mode that often manifests in a flare.
