Autoimmune symptoms don’t just come out of nowhere — and in this episode, we’re unpacking what’s really driving them beneath the surface.

I’m joined by Dr. Christine Schaffner, a renowned naturopathic doctor who blends bioregulatory and environmental medicine to help people with complex chronic illness get to the root. We talk about the hidden layers often overlooked in autoimmune care — from mould and stealth infections to lymphatic stagnation, nervous system dysregulation, and the body’s terrain.

We also explore how detox pathways get blocked, why drainage must come before detox, and how frequency-based tools and energy medicine can help restore regulation. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “doing everything right” but still struggling with flares, fatigue, or inflammation, this conversation will help you see your symptoms in a whole new light.

Mentioned in this episode:

• The role of the lymphatic system in autoimmunity
• How to support drainage and detox in a safe, structured way
• Terrain theory and why it matters in chronic illness
• The missing piece in many autoimmune healing protocols
• Practical tools to start shifting stagnation today
