847. How to Thrive Beyond Your Autoimmun...

Heal Squad
About this episode

Happy Throwback Thursday Heal Squad! As we continue to learn all about the gut we are bringing back our conversation with Dr. Amy Myers. What makes Dr. Myers story so incredible is the fact she has experienced a lot of the health issues that she now helps her patients heal from. In our conversation she shares her personal journey with autoimmune disease and sheds light on the challenges faced by women when searching for accurate diagnoses. Having experienced dismissal and misdiagnosis herself, Dr. Myers is on a mission to prevent others from suffering the same fate at the hands of conventional medicine. Dr. Myers emphasizes the importance of individuality and listening to your body's unique needs, while navigating the pitfalls of relying solely on diagnoses rather than focusing on true healing. When life throws you news that may seem like the end of the world, Dr. Amy Myers reminds us that although conventional medicine failed her, she has made it her mission to make sure that it won't fail you.


Healers & Heal-Liners

  • 5 factors of autoimmunity: 
  • Leaky Gut
  • Our diet
  • The toxins in our environment
  • Stress
  • Infections
  • Once you have one autoimmune condition you’re 3x more likely to get another one
  • Nobody knows your body better than you, and if you think something’s wrong don’t stop until you find someone that will listen to you
  • 80% of our serotonin is made in our gut
  • Autoimmunity is a spectrum, and your experience with it is not always the same as someone else’s
