Ep. 337 The Root of Autoimmunity: Nervous System, Gut, and the Path Back to Balance
Autoimmunity often feels like your body is turning against you—but what if it’s really your body asking for balance?
In this episode of Alpha Health and Wellness Radio, I’m breaking down why so much of autoimmunity stems from a heightened nervous system and imbalances in the gut. These two systems are deeply connected, and when they’re overwhelmed, the immune system often follows suit.
Here’s what you’ll hear today:
What autoimmunity actually is (and why it’s not just genetic fate)
How chronic stress and a “stuck” fight-or-flight response keep your immune system on edge
Why gut health is the training ground for immune balance—and how imbalances can drive flares
My three-pronged approach to supporting autoimmunity: nervous system rebalance, detox support, and gut healing
Encouragement that healing is possible when we support the body at its roots
Autoimmunity doesn’t have to feel like a lifelong sentence—it’s a signal. With the right tools, you can calm the nervous system, rebuild resilience, and give your immune system the balance it’s craving.
If you’re struggling with autoimmune symptoms and want to dive deeper into personalized support, I’d love to guide you—book a session with me here.
