How Nervous System Dysregulation Can Trigger Autoimmunity
How Nervous System Dysregulation Can Trigger Autoimmunity Have you ever wondered: “Why do I feel worse even when I’m eating ‘healthier’?” “Why do flare-ups hit harder on stressful weeks?” “Is there a gentler way to reduce inflammation without living on elimination diets?” this episode is for you. In this eye-opening talk, Gianna explains how feeling chronically unsafe in your body keeps you stuck in inflammation and why healing starts with a gentle, 'more feminine' approach that highlights regulation, connection, and nourishment. You’ll learn the three mistakes that stall progress (it’s not just diet), how to shift out of fight-or-flight, and how tiny, repeatable habits build real evidence that remission is within reach. You’ll learn Why women fall through the cracks of conventional care. Why you are NOT what you eat. How to make progress even on symptom-filled days. The E2P2 Method (Energy, Emotions, Physical symptoms, Poop). Why recovery (not perfection) is the secret weapon elite athletes and autoimmune warriors share.

Living Life Again with Lupus: How Megan Found Freedom from Autoimmune Fear After 25 Years
When you've been sick for so long (I'm talking years), it can feel delusional to hope in healing. Because countless times before you've likely tried to eat better, hydrate more, work out consistently, and nothing seemed to help you truly feel better. In this week's episode, we get honest about the messy middle of autoimmune healing. Gianna sits down with her client Megan (25+ years with lupus) to unpack how she started living life again—finding joy, advocating with confidence, and finally experiencing freedom from all-consuming autoimmune fear. This conversation reflects the same patterns Gianna sees in clients, and what’s helped Megan and other autoimmune women get their sparkle back, regardless of how long they’ve been fighting autoimmune disease. Here’s what you’ll learn: Why healing and flaring can happen at the same time, and how this is part of the road to remission. How to break the all-or-nothing mentality and feel safe in your body again. Advocacy that works: how to partner with your doctor without feeling gaslit. How “soft-life” recovery (rest, pacing, nervous system calm) lowers flares and chronic symptoms. If you’ve wondered why your symptoms aren’t improving despite your effort, this episode offers clarity and tangible steps toward hope. ✨ Ready to start a healing journey that gives you your life back?

Why Your Autoimmune Symptoms Aren’t Improving Despite Eating Healthy
Are you doing all the right things, eating healthy, working out, taking supplements and still not feeling better? You’re likely making these 3 mistakes. In this episode, I break down 3 "wellness" mistakes that keep your body stuck in pain, fatigue, and inflammation. These are the very patterns I see over and over again in my clients and the same ones I made during my 10-year battle with scleroderma before finally reaching unmedicated remission. Here’s what you’ll learn: Why the all-or-nothing mentality sabotages healing. The truth about elimination diets (and what to do instead). How to see your medication as a bridge, not a roadblock. If you’ve ever wondered why your autoimmune symptoms aren’t improving despite all your effort, this conversation will give you clarity, and most importantly, hope. ✨ Grab my free guide, How to Heal Alongside Medication: A Beginner’s Guide to Autoimmune Relief, at autoimmunebabe.com to start your own journey today. 🎙 New episodes of the Autoimmune Babe Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7AM EST, so be sure to subscribe and tune in weekly! ✨ Don’t forget to subscribe for more autoimmune relief tips and join me on Instagram @autoimmune.babe for daily support.
