5 Ways to Settle an Autoimmune Flare Before It Spirals Aug 11, 2025

Show notes

💩 Join the Good Poops Challenge – Starts August 11th: https://www.goodpoops.org This 8-week challenge is designed to reset your gut, support liver function, and help you feel lighter, clearer, and more energized—naturally. Liver health is the most overlooked key to fat loss—and in this episode, we reveal why your liver might be the real reason you’re not losing weight. If you’ve tried every diet, every workout, and nothing seems to work, it’s time to shift your focus inward.

Autoimmune flare-ups can feel overwhelming, but they don’t have to control your life. In this episode, Nurse Doza shares 5 Ways to Settle an Autoimmune Flare Before It Spirals—from breathwork and high-dose vitamin D to fasting and mindset shifts—so you can take back control using natural strategies and clinical insight.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS

Breathwork is your first defense: Belly breathing can downregulate your nervous system and reduce inflammation quickly.
Vitamin D3 needs to be high-dose: Most autoimmune patients need 10,000 IU/day to overcome vitamin D resistance and calm flares.
NAC lowers inflammation fast: N-acetylcysteine helps manage flare-ups by reducing oxidative stress and improving liver detox.
Fasting reduces systemic inflammation: Short fasts (14–16 hours) help restore immune balance during flare-ups.
Morning/nighttime routines matter: Having a calming structure during and after flares helps reset your body and mind.

FEATURED PRODUCT

Zen by MSW Nutrition, featuring bovine adrenal gland extracts, is designed to support adrenal function and stress recovery—key elements in calming autoimmune flares before they spiral out of control. Zen helps modulate the body’s stress response, making it easier to maintain balance during high-inflammation states.

LIVER HEALTH: The Secret Sauce for Shedding Pounds Aug 04, 2025

Show notes

The Secret Sauce for Shedding Pounds isn't just about diet or workouts—it’s your liver. In this episode, Nurse Doza breaks down how your liver impacts fat loss through detox, blood sugar regulation, hormone balance, inflammation reduction, and mindset. If you’re stuck in your weight loss journey, your liver may be the key.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS

The liver produces antioxidants like glutathione that directly reduce inflammation and support fat metabolism.
Hormone balance—especially estrogen and cortisol regulation—depends on liver health.
Blood sugar regulation starts with the liver, which stores and processes glucose after meals.
Fat cells become inflamed without proper liver function, leading to leptin resistance and weight gain.
Sustainable fat loss requires mindset shifts—and liver support helps you regain control.
