Welcome to the Phoenix Helix podcast dedicated to autoimmune resilience. While there is no cure for

autoimmune disease, the choices we make every day can have a powerful impact on how we feel.

I'm Eileen Laird, your host. In this podcast, I interview experts in the fields of nutrition, lifestyle,
