Autoimmune diseases are a class of illnesses that occur when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy cells and tissues.
There are over 80 different types of autoimmune diseases including lupus, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and type one diabetes, and they represent the third most common cause of chronic illness.
Today’s generation of women tend to experience higher levels of stress than men due to societal expectations and responsibilities, such as caring for children, keeping up appearances, suppressing emotion and making parents all while also maintaining a career and household.
Research shows women may also be more likely to internalize stress maintaining the “everything is fine” mentality which can lead to chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction. Women also tend to hold back anger more than men for fear of being labeled “crazy” or “irrational”.
Overtime, cortisol, the stress hormone builds up in the blood and has no release and this can make a woman quite sick with chronic symptoms and ultimately lead to an autoimmune condition if left untreated.
I personally suffered with extreme weight gains, no libido, chronic fatigue, insomnia, rage/overstimulation, anxiety, depression, brain fog, headaches, hair loss, morning nausea, excessive cravings and so much more for over 8 years until I learned this was all being caused by too much cortisol in my blood.
Since I am like most women, I could not remove any of the stress I was facing every day so I leaned wholeheartedly on the herb Rhodiola which is a hormone regulator and a stress reducer, actually fighting your stress internally when you cannot reduce it externally.
After about 6 months on Rhodiola, my cortisol was regulated to such an extent, I was down 60 pounds and healed all of those symptoms in myself. I am 41 and look and feel better than I have in my whole life!
