Autoimmune Disease and YOU!
Healing Begins on the Inside
01/31/22 • 49 min
Do you have an autoimmune disease? Are you going through life trying your best to ignore your symptoms are doing just enough to mask your symptoms? Or maybe you're ignoring the signs altogether? What about your kiddos, especially if they came for foster care or adoption? Chances are their guts are a mess.
Autoimmune disease happens when the body’s natural defense system can’t tell the difference between your own cells and foreign cells, causing the body to mistakenly attack normal cells.
Today, we are talking with Thirmanda Zavala. Thirmanda is the founder of Health Coaching With Thirmanda Zavala and the host of the A Woman Worth Healing Podcast. She is also both a Functional Medicine Certified and National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. She is a mother of two, a wife, healing from her own autoimmune diseases, and a Women’s Autoimmune Coach. She’s a lover of nature and natural healing and passionate about utilizing the gifts nature has provided for us.
Thirmanda encourages women with autoimmune diseases to step outside the conventional medicine box to activate their natural healing abilities. She provides a safe, healing space for these women to go from merely surviving & getting by to a place where they are thriving & living the life they want.
There was literally so much information that we are bringing Thirmanda back for a deep dive around the brain-gut connection.
