Autoimmune Healing with Michele Spring

In this episode, we're diving deep into the complexities of autoimmune diseases and how we can thrive despite them with autoimmune health coach, Michele Spring.

Michele, who has personally navigated the challenges of Hashimoto's and Celiac diseases, shares her journey from being misdiagnosed to finally discovering relief through tailored diet and lifestyle changes. Her experience highlights not just the standard symptoms we might recognize, like fatigue and weight gain, but the often-overlooked issues intricately linked to thyroid health.

We review the differences between the standard practice of medicine and that of functional medicine. Michele also sheds light on the process of identifying underlying issues, the role stress management plays in autoimmune health, and nuances of the autoimmune protocol diet.

We delve into the importance of using an integrative approach, taking into consideration everything from diet and gut health to sleep patterns and detoxification. It's an episode packed with information on what questions to ask your healthcare provider, what lifestyle changes provide the biggest bang for your buck, the limitations of food sensitivity testing, the healing properties of the AIP diet, and the vital role of quality sleep for overall well-being.
