Stress and Autoimmunity

The discussion highlights the potential link between disordered eating and the onset of autoimmune conditions, particularly in women. Both speakers emphasize the often-overlooked role of stress as a significant risk factor for various health issues, arguing that the fear of not eating enough can create immense pressure on the body. They explore the idea that stress, rather than specific foods or diets, may be a critical factor in the development and severity of chronic illnesses.
