In today's episode of the Women’s Vibrancy Code, we tackle an increasingly crucial topic: autoimmune conditions in women. It's a conversation that's both urgent and necessary, given the staggering statistics and the myriad of challenges women face in getting a proper diagnosis and treatment. What We'll Cover: The Autoimmune Puzzle: Understand the basics of autoimmune diseases, where the body, instead of protecting, turns against its own cells. Discover why women are disproportionately affected, with around 80% of autoimmune sufferers being female. Symptoms Not to Ignore: We'll discuss common yet often overlooked symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, skin changes, and more. Learn why these signs shouldn't be brushed aside and how they could indicate underlying autoimmune issues. Diagnosis Dilemmas: Hear about the harrowing journey many women undergo from symptom onset to diagnosis - often a maze of misdiagnoses, dismissals, and frustration. The Hormone Connection: Explore how hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone interact with autoimmune conditions, influencing our body's immune response. Environmental and Lifestyle Factors: Delve into the role of environmental toxins, stress, and diet in autoimmune diseases, highlighting the unique vulnerabilities women face. Empowerment Through Knowledge: Gain insights into the importance of vitamin D, the gut microbiome, and comprehensive testing like the GI MAP test to unlock the mysteries of your health. Autoimmune conditions in women are a complex interplay of genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors. This episode is your guide to understanding these conditions, advocating for your health, and taking steps toward healing and vibrancy.
