When Your Body Turns on Itself: Understanding Autoimmune Disease

from Headed to Healthier | Expert Health Advice, Managing Your Health · host Brittney Anderson, MD, FAAFP | Board Certified Family Medicine Physician, Private Practice Owner

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Sehreen Mumtaz, a rheumatologist who helps patients living with autoimmune disease. We’re breaking down what it really means when your immune system starts attacking your own body—and why this happens more often in women. We also talk about early warning signs, how these conditions are diagnosed, and what lifestyle factors can make a difference in how you feel day to day. If you’ve been struggling with fatigue, joint pain, or symptoms that don’t quite add up, this episode will help you better understand what might be going on—and how to start getting answers. ----- Connect with Dr. Mumtaz Website - www.remissionrheum.com Instagram @remissionrheumatology Email: [email protected] Booking page: https://remissionrheum.sigmamd.com/signup/elite-membership-plan ------ Please join the Facebook community and share with us some of your biggest takeaways from this great episode.  Headed to Healthier Facebook Community https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1JPbM9cYQT/ If you loved this episode, please share it with a friend and take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!
