How to create or restore a healthy menstrual cycle

The TOP 3️⃣ triggers of autoimmune diseases.⁠
.⁠
In most cases, there is something (or things) in your environment that flipped the switch of your autoimmune process. The path to turning off that switch involves identifying and resolving these very same environmental triggers.⁠
.⁠
👉This is possible to do, and the sooner the better!👈⁠
.⁠
Think of triggers as things that cause inflammation and confuse your immune system. Rooting out inflammatory triggers is first and foremost in quelling the autoimmune process.⁠
.⁠
These are the top 3 autoimmune triggers:⁠
.⁠
✴️Dysglycemia⁠
This is when your blood sugar is either too high or too low. It turns out that both low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and high blood sugar (insulin resistance) cause inflammation.⁠
.⁠
To test for dysglycemia you can do so yourself by purchasing a glucometer and testing your blood sugar before and after meals or by having a lab test for fasting glucose, insulin, hemoglobin A1c, and C-peptide.⁠
.⁠
✴️Food Intolerance.⁠
This is when your adaptive immune system tags food particles as antigens and mounts an attack against them. Truth be told this can happen with any food, but the three most common are arguably gluten, dairy, and eggs.⁠
.⁠
To test for food intolerances, use a reputable blood test that measures immune responses to common foods, like the KMBO Food Inflammation Test. Or, do an elimination and provocation diet.⁠
.⁠
✴️Stress⁠
You make stress hormones as a “fight or flight” response, which is natural. However, this response should settle down when you’re out of danger. When a stressor is prolonged, so is your stress response, which dysregulates your adrenal hormones and causes inflammation.⁠
.⁠
The best test for stress is undoubtedly the Dutch Adrenal test. If your results come back and you find that stress is your trigger, work towards reducing the stress that is in your control⁠
and take adrenal adaptogen herbs.⁠
