Inflammation, Gut Health & Autoimmunity

You are invited to join us for our next Meetup!

This Meetup will take place online, via Google Meet. Once you sign up, I'll send you the Google Meet link on the day of the Meetup. This is to help decrease the chance of someone crashing our Meetup. The Google Meet link will be sent through the Meetup system, via message & email (you use for Meetup). Be sure to check your Meetup messages & email the day of the event.

Join us for our monthly Perks of Functional Medicine Meetup. These Meetups/workshops are designed to educate, inspire positive changes and provide opportunities for real implementation. Our Meetups will be focused on functional and foundational medicine by looking at holistic approaches to our bodies and health.

This month we will focus on a topic: Inflammation, Gut Health & Autoimmunity. Autoimmune conditions now affect over 50 million Americans—yet conventional approaches often focus solely on suppressing symptoms rather than asking why the immune system has become confused in the first place.
Your digestive tract houses nearly 70% of your immune system. This sophisticated barrier must make critical decisions every day. Inflammation is one of the body's first response is a problem.

Your intestinal lining should be a selective barrier—allowing nutrients through while keeping toxins, undigested food particles, and harmful microbes out. This barrier is just one cell thick, held together by "tight junctions" that regulate what passes through. When these junctions become damaged, larger particles escape into your bloodstream, where your immune system identifies them as threats. This creates inflammation and, in genetically susceptible individuals, can trigger or worsen autoimmune conditions.

Learn how stress can cause different physical symptoms that seems unrelated. We have all heard that stress is the problem, but what is the missing connection? Come learn about the HPA axis, and how it affects your health.

There is an underlying reason why you have these symptoms. Stop chasing symptoms and get to the root of the problem.

This FREE, workshop will be around 45 -60 minutes.
