Podcast Intro:
A well-functioning immune system
protects the body against sickness and infection.
When the immune system fails, it
destroys healthy cells, tissues, and organs by mistake. These
attacks, known as autoimmune diseases, can damage any region of the
body, compromising bodily function and potentially posing a
life-threatening hazard.
You can imagine that if your
cells are attacking each other, there isn't much balance or harmony
in the body, which isn't a good foundation for good health. It
requires balance and harmony to function properly. So, how do we
give our bodies the balance they require?
Tune in as Cate talks about the
correlation of autoimmune with habits, and what can you do to
target the root cause of this dreaded illness.

Quotes:
- "I also want people with the symptoms of
autoimmune where their symptoms without a diagnosis to be able to
potentially prevent going down the path of having a scary
diagnosis."
- "The endocrine system is the big communicator
of the body. If we understand that the fatty tissue of the body is
an endocrine system right then we have to understand that like
okay, the stakes are high if we're carrying too much
weight."
- "In terms of personality, people with more
Vata, or wind in their type, the lighter type, so they'll naturally
be excited, they'll naturally be fun to be around, light-hearted,
quick to remember, quick to forget, and quick to
forgive."
- "It's easy for anybody to feel
overwhelmed, and what we need to correlate is that overwhelm is an
emotion of inflammation. If we entertain that emotion, meaning we
don't do something to change our emotional state, what can happen
that can turn the tide of a symptom of autoimmune into a disease of
autoimmune."
- "One of the scariest things about negative bias
is it decreases your neuroplasticity. It makes you less able to
learn something new. Negative bias to become less capable of diet
and lifestyle changes."
