This is a deeply personal episode. We haven’t touched on this topic much but now it’s time! Did you know that Dr Andrea was diagnosed with SLE, or Lupus, when she was 11? In this special episode we talk about her journey from diagnosis, navigating the medical model and the choices she made to stay healthy. Dr Ashleigh and Dr Andrea also discuss why so many more women are now being diagnosed with autoimmune diseases, the role the gut and microbiome play in this as well as hormonal influences on your immune system. This is an episode not to be missed!
