Broken Barriers: Why Your Gut, Skin, and Brain Are the Frontlines of Autoimmunity

6/22/2025
Send us a text In this episode of The Autoimmune Reset, I’m diving into one of the most overlooked — yet foundational — drivers of autoimmune disease: your biological barriers. From your gut lining to your skin, lungs, gums, and even your blood-brain barrier, these protective systems are your body's frontline defence. When they break down, your immune system starts reacting to everything — sometimes even your own tissues. I also explore the role of the cell membrane — your final internal barrier — and how damage at this level can disrupt mitochondrial health, nutrient transport, and immune tolerance. Whether you're dealing with conditions like RA, psoriasis, MCAS, or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), this episode will help you understand why barrier repair is central to long-term healing.
