The Autoimmune Puzzle - Piecing Together Root Causes with Herbs and Functional Medicine with Magalie Valadier & Tracey Harper
Description
Are you or someone you love struggling with an autoimmune condition like Hashimoto's, Rheumatoid Arthritis, or Psoriasis? If your body feels like a mystery and you're tired of just managing symptoms, this episode is for you.
Join Magalie, a Medical Herbalist, and Tracey Harper, a Functional Medicine Practitioner and Nutritionist, from Seed Wellness in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, for a deep and empowering conversation.
In this podcast, Magalie and Tracey demystify why the immune system turns against the body and reveal a transformative, root-cause approach to healing.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
🔍 The Core Mechanisms: We go beyond "the body attacks itself" to explain the perfect storm of genetics, triggers, and "leaky gut" that dysregulates the immune system—often without obvious digestive symptoms.
💡 The Hidden Triggers: Learn about the common physical and emotional drivers—from past infections and food sensitivities to chronic stress and unprocessed trauma—that can ignite the autoimmune fire.
🧘 The Mind-Body Bridge: Unpack the critical link between your nervous system and your immune system. We discuss why the fear and anxiety after a diagnosis can perpetuate the cycle and how to break free.
🌿 An Integrative Toolkit: See how anti-inflammatory diets, targeted herbal medicine, and functional nutrition work synergistically. We dispel the myth of a one-herb-fits-all approach and explain how we tailor protocols to re-educate the entire body.
🤝 Collaborative Care: Get honest answers on navigating the balance between natural therapies and conventional medicine. Is a combination approach the key? We discuss when it's safe to explore reducing medication and when it's essential for safety.
Tune in to learn practical, first steps you can take this week to start calming inflammation, supporting your gut, and building a resilient body that can meet life's challenges.
