@britney.duner.lcsw: Women make up the majority of people living with autoimmune diseases, yet we rarely talk about the connection between the immune system and the nervous system. Stress doesn’t cause autoimmune disease, but chronic stress can influence inflammation, symptom burden, and flares in many people. That’s why therapy, nervous system regulation, sleep, movement, and healthy coping aren’t “just self-care”—they’re part of supporting your whole body alongside medical treatment. As someone currently navigating an undiagnosed autoimmune/inflammatory condition myself, this has become deeply personal. I’m grateful for my medical team, and I’m also leaning on the same nervous system tools I teach my clients every day. This video is for education and isn’t medical advice. #AutoimmuneDisease #ChronicIllness #NervousSystem #StressManagement #MentalHealth
