38: Decoding Gut Driven Autoimmune Flares

This episode of the AIP Summit Podcast features a presentation by functional nutritionist and AIP Certified Coach, Jennifer Franchak, focusing on the gut-immune connection in autoimmune disease. Flare-ups are not random but are messages from an overprotective immune system, influenced by gut health and microbiome imbalances. Jennifer describes the "autoimmune harmony" method, a framework to help women understand their flare patterns and manage their health. She emphasizes the importance of gut health in immune system communication, explaining how inflammation and microbiome imbalances can lead to immune confusion and unpredictable flare-ups and outlines practical steps for improving gut health, including dietary changes and lifestyle adjustments, and highlights the role of the GI MAP test in identifying gut issues. Jennifer also discusses the significance of stress management and the nervous system in maintaining gut health and reducing flare-ups. **Download the free Autoimmune Harmony Roadmap** ALSO MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Learn about membership in the AIP Summit Community  March 19-23 - spring "encore" re-broadcast of the 7th Annual AIP Summit Meet Jennifer Franchak RELATED EPISODES Episode 34 - Highlights from the 7th Annual AIP Summit SOCIAL @jennfranchak @aipsummit LEARN MORE The AIP Summit  To stay informed about all AIP Summit webinars and other live events, sign up for our free newsletter.
