Summary
MEET THE GUEST Dr. Sarah Daccarett, MD, is a longevity and hormone specialist and the Founder and CEO of Inner Balance, a women’s health company dedicated to expanding access to evidence-based hormone care. Her work focuses on modern hormone treatment, telemedicine-driven care models, and closing long-standing gaps in women’s health through science, education, and patient-centered practice. WHAT WE TALK ABOUT Why 80% of autoimmune diseases affect women and how the female immune system is hormonally driven. How puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause trigger autoimmune flares and what that reveals about hormone immune regulation. Why pregnancy can improve conditions like lupus and celiac, showing autoimmunity is hormonally influenced. The link between estrogen, mitochondrial health, and immune burnout, and how low estrogen drives inflammation. How immune dysfunction shows up as food sensitivities, eczema, infections, hives, or bloating. The hormone gut connection, including how estrogen and progesterone affect gut barrier integrity and SIBO risk. Why treating leaky gut may fail if hormone deficiencies are not addressed. The roles of progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, and DHEA, and why ratios matter more than isolated lab numbers. Why perimenopause can begin in a woman’s 20s or 30s and contribute to autoimmunity. What to expect with bioidentical hormone therapy, including timelines for symptom improvement. EPISODE RESOURCES Fatty15 C15:0 fatty acid support for cellular and metabolic health.
