What if the autoimmune condition you're dealing with today was actually programmed into your immune system decades ago during childhood?

In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie answers a listener's question about the biological mechanisms connecting early attachment trauma to autoimmunity, and most importantly, what to do about it.

She goes into the biology behind how childhood fear literally programs your immune system at the cellular level, creating a biological foundation for autoimmune conditions that can emerge years or decades later, often triggered by additional stressors like accidents, infections, or major life events.

You'll learn more about:

• Why fear causes inflammation
• How early fear creates overactive brain immune cells (microglia) that cause symptoms like brain fog and decision fatigue
• The three key immune system pathways that determine whether your body stays in "inflammation mode" or switches to "repair mode"
• Practical actions you can take to rebalance your immune system

Whether you're a practitioner working with autoimmune clients or someone with your own autoimmune journey, this episode reveals the hidden biological connections between early life experiences and immune dysfunction and offers hope through practical interventions that work at the cellular level.
