Ep: 52 - Autoimmune Disease Isn't Random: Understanding the Midlife Connection

Why do so many women seem to develop autoimmune conditions during midlife? In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between perimenopause, hormones, stress, the nervous system, gut health, and autoimmunity.With nearly 80% of autoimmune diseases occurring in women, this isn't just coincidence, it's a pattern worth understanding. We break down why conditions like Hashimoto's, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis often become more noticeable during the hormonal transition years, and how chronic stress, emotional suppression, burnout, and gut dysfunction may contribute to immune system dysregulation.From nervous system regulation and gut healing to emotional processing and reclaiming your own needs, this conversation is about empowerment, not fear.If you've ever wondered why your body seems to be changing in midlife, this episode offers insight, validation, and hope.Where to find us:IG @whatsmyageagain.podcast  / FB - What’s My Age Again Podcast Email us at:  [email protected] to find Tanya:IG @tlcholistic / FB @tlcholistic   https://www.tlcholistic.ca/Book with Tanya:  https://tlcholistic.janeapp.com/locations/tlc-holisticJoin the TLC Community: https://www.patreon.com/tlcholisticWhere to find Kim:IG @kimdesmarais.nutrition /FB @KimDesmaraishttps://www.kimdesmarais.com/Book with Kim:  Complimentary Connect Call
