What We Talk About

• Why 80% of autoimmune diseases affect women and how the female immune system is hormonally driven.
• How puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause trigger autoimmune flares and what that reveals about hormone immune regulation.
• Why pregnancy can improve conditions like lupus and celiac, showing autoimmunity is hormonally influenced.
• The link between estrogen, mitochondrial health, and immune burnout, and how low estrogen drives inflammation.
• How immune dysfunction shows up as food sensitivities, eczema, infections, hives, or bloating.
• The hormone gut connection, including how estrogen and progesterone affect gut barrier integrity and SIBO risk.
• Why treating leaky gut may fail if hormone deficiencies are not addressed.
• The roles of progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, and DHEA, and why ratios matter more than isolated lab numbers.
• Why perimenopause can begin in a woman’s 20s or 30s and contribute to autoimmunity.
• What to expect with bioidentical hormone therapy, including timelines for symptom improvement.
