## Resource

Living with type 1 diabetes means living with autoimmunity. And if you've ever wondered why did this happen? — you're not alone. In today's conversation, I'm joined by board-certified health and wellness coach, pharmacist, and host of Autoimmune Health Secrets , Amy Behimer. Amy lives with multiple autoimmune diagnoses herself, including MS and thyroid disease, and she brings both clinical insight and lived experience into this conversation. We talk about: What an autoimmune disease is (in simple terms) Why autoimmune diagnoses are increasing The difference between disease and "autoimmune health" Why willpower fails (and what the brain is wired to do instead) The 6 lifestyle spokes that influence autoimmune health How to rebuild trust with your body What to do when hormones shift and habits stop working How to stop blaming yourself when consistency feels impossible Why tiny habits create big ripple effects (including blood sugar stability) If you're managing type 1 diabetes in midlife, navigating hormone shifts, or feeling burned out on "trying again," this episode will help you shift from control to influence, from frustration to curiosity, and from disease to health. Because better is possible — even if perfect isn't. 🎧 Share this episode with someone who needs hope today.
