WWR 115: Autoimmune Diseases 101

This is a deeply personal episode. We haven’t touched on this topic much but now it’s time! Did you know that Dr Andrea was diagnosed with SLE, or Lupus, when she was 11? In this special episode we talk about her journey from diagnosis, navigating the medical model and the choices she made to stay healthy. Dr Ashleigh and Dr Andrea also discuss why so many more women are now being diagnosed with autoimmune diseases, the role the gut and microbiome play in this as well as hormonal influences on your immune system. This is an episode not to be missed!

WWR 106: Metabolic Set Point – Does your body want to keep you fat?

Is our body trying to keep us fat? Is there a reason why we can lose weight only to put it all back on again? Is there a pre-determined set point in which our body thinks we need to maintain a certain weight? Does this also explain why it’s so much easier to put on weight than it is to lose? These are all the questions that The Wellness Women are going to try and answer on this episode but don’t despair there may be ways to change your set point!
