Description

 Can you actually start healing while taking autoimmune medication?


In this episode, Gianna unpacks one of the most misunderstood parts of autoimmune treatment: the belief that medication is your only option. Drawing from her personal journey with scleroderma and her clinical experience helping women with connective tissue disease, she reveals how medication can be used as a bridge, not a life sentence.


 You’ll learn how to start replenishing what medication may be depleting, how to shift from survival mode into healing, and how to support your body without relying on restrictive diets or random supplements.


 This is the episode every newly diagnosed woman wishes she had heard sooner.
