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, mindset,

and integrative medicine. I also interview people with

autoimmune disease just like you. We can learn so much from each other. This podcast is named

Phoenix Helix, and it's after the mythical bird that rises from its own ashes. If you've ever felt

like your autoimmune disease knock you down so hard you would never

rise again, never underestimate your ability to rise.

We all have a phoenix within us.

A short disclaimer, I'm neither a doctor nor a nutritionist and the opinions expressed here

are personal.

I do interview medical professionals on the show, but it's meant to be information, not medical advice.

So always consult with your health care team before making your own medical decisions.

Now let's get on to the show. Welcome to Episode 209. Our topic today is preventing autoimmune flares. With autoimmune

disease, flares are part of the experience, and we cannot

prevent every single one. But discovering our own flare triggers is a powerful piece of self-knowledge.

It can help us minimize how often we flare and how severe those flares are. So that's the focus of

our discussion today. I've invited two other autoimmune warriors to

join me. We'll be sharing our personal flare triggers and how we manage them to live our healthiest lives.

So let me introduce them to you. Nicole Orsich has Hashimoto's thyroiditis and is the woman behind

the website Keep It Cute Kitchen. She's a nutritional therapy practitioner, a certified personal trainer, and an AIP certified coach.

She works with people one-on-one to help them live their healthiest lives.
