A short interview-style YouTube video featuring Shilpa Sayana, MD and a host discussing self-care, knowing your body, and practical prevention strategies for autoimmune and hormone-related health issues in women. Emphasis is on the high prevalence of undiagnosed autoimmune markers around perimenopause/menopause, the role of inflammation and stress, and actionable steps (nutrition, gut health, anxiety reduction, joy) that can help reverse autoimmune markers.
You're taking care of everybody else and who takes care of you. You need to be taken care of as well, and you gotta do that. I love that you say, you know, knowing your body because nobody knows your body more than yourself, right? You know how things feel, you know how what hurts.
And, like how you.
Know your, your cycle goes. And so I think is that really important in being an advocate? Like you said, you have the power. Right.
Um, and so, and that's what's so important, is that you need to realize you do have that power. Another big epidemic that a lot of us just are unaware of is the amount of undiag autoimmune markers in women and especially around the perimenopause menopause time, when inflammation is high and life stress is high. And just knowing that even if you have these autoimmune markers, they can be reversible. So it doesn't mean you have to keep progressing, because once you have one autoimmune marker, the likelihood of having the next one is three times higher. So what can you do to clean up inflammation, clean up the gut, clean up anxiety, and get more joy in your life, get better nutrition, get better bowel movements. All those things will help reverse the autoimmune epidemic happening.
Thank you so much for really focusing on the prevention. Right. And things that you can do and these practical tips. So if there's. How can patients reach out to you?
Right.
Or if someone is interested and maybe they don't live in la, can they still see you? How. How does that work?
Yeah. So basically I am a licensed internist in California, so I can see anybody in California, even online.
