The Truth About Autoimmune Diseases: Causes and More!

The Thriving Metabolism: Weight Loss Beyond Diets

Are you dealing with mysterious symptoms like constant fatigue, unexplained hair loss, or persistent joint pain?

Having trouble getting results from typical health advice?

Understanding autoimmunity could be the missing piece in your wellness puzzle.

In this episode of the Thriving Metabolism Podcast, Louise Digby speaks with Victoria Hamilton, a registered dietitian and autoimmune health expert. Victoria brings both professional expertise and personal experience to the table, having battled alopecia, psoriasis, and chronic fatigue herself.

Discover why conventional health approaches often fall short for those with autoimmune tendencies, and explore the intricate connections between autoimmunity, inflammation, and overall well-being.

We also tackle a frustrating challenge many face: why losing weight can be especially difficult with an autoimmune condition. Learn how these issues affect metabolism and energy levels, making standard weight loss strategies less effective.

Tune in for practical tips and a fresh perspective on managing your health when your immune system seems to have a mind of its own.
