265: The End of Autoimmune Disease? Ft. Dr Heather Stone

Think food is the only thing impacting your blood sugar? There's a hidden factor you're probably overlooking.

In today's episode I sat down with Dr. Heather Stone to talk about how stress and what we eat directly affect our blood sugar and autoimmune health. Dr. Stone shares how using continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) helps track how food impacts the body, and why this is key for managing autoimmune conditions. She even talks about how her son used a CGM to see how his diet affected his energy as an athlete.

We also explore how stress raises your blood sugar and insulin levels. It’s not just about food—stress management plays a big role in keeping these conditions under control.

Key Takeaways:

Muscle mass can improve your body’s ability to metabolize glucose, helping regulate blood sugar levels.
Autoimmune diseases can go into remission with the right lifestyle adjustments.
Prioritizing long-term health requires consistent attention, not just short-term fixes or treatments.

Resources:

Dr. Heather Stone is a functional medicine specialist focused on autoimmune health. She helps patients achieve remission through personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies. Her goal is to empower others to take control of their health naturally.
