Autoimmune and Menopause: The Link Your Doctor Is Missing After 40 (EP 69)

<p>Autoimmune disease in women over 40 gets missed constantly, and her doctor keeps telling her the labs are fine. They are not fine. In this episode Nicole sits down with Matt Cusano, clinical director at Ryze, to talk about what an autoimmune disease actually is, why cases are climbing so fast, and what conventional medicine keeps overlooking. We get into the testing that finds the root cause, how perimenopause and hormone shifts feed autoimmune flares, the role of gut health and food, and where peptides actually fit. If you are exhausted, inflamed, losing hair, and watching the scale climb while everyone keeps telling you nothing is wrong, this one is for you.</p><p><a href="https://join.teambecomingher.com/precision-fitness?application_source=autoimmunepodcast"><strong>Apply for 1:1 coaching here</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://join.teambecomingher.com/community"><strong>Join the BecomingHER Collective</strong></a><br>The self-paced community app ($97 first month, $47/mo).
