Episode 35: Autoimmunity & Perimenopause: Triggers, Gut Health, and What You Can Do

The hormonal shifts during perimenopause impact all 12 body systems, which can play a role in triggering or worsening autoimmune conditions.

In this episode, I talk through:

• Why autoimmunity often first appears or flares during perimenopause
• The role of gut permeability (aka “leaky gut”) in immune dysregulation
• Common autoimmune triggers (including stress, infections, and toxins)
• How oestrogen influences immune function
• The 5R Healthy Gut Reset framework for supporting gut health
• Practical food and lifestyle tips to reduce inflammation and support your immune system
