The Real Reason You Keep Flaring (It's Not What You Think)
Episode 123
Thursday, 19 March, 2026
Why do autoimmune symptoms flare after stress, poor sleep, illness, or major life events? If autoimmune disease were simply the immune system attacking the body, symptoms would be constant. But for many people, flares follow a pattern. So what's actually driving them? In this episode, Dr. Alison Danby explains a system in the body that most autoimmune patients are never taught about in the doctor's office, and why understanding it may completely change how we think about autoimmune disease. You'll learn: • Why stress is the #1 trigger for autoimmune flares • Why cortisol may not be the real problem • The hidden communication system between the brain and the immune system • Why chronic stress changes immune behavior • The surprising research on stress resilience from Navy SEAL training • Why autoimmune disease might be responding to signals from somewhere else Once you understand how these systems interact, autoimmune disease stops looking random. And that changes everything. Next Episode Why pushing through fatigue may actually make autoimmune disease worse. Ready to go deeper?
