Welcome back to the Empowered Perimenopause podcast with me your host, Francesca Liparoti, Nutritional Therapist and women’s health guide.

This week we’re tackling a topic that so many women in midlife struggle with but rarely get answers about: autoimmunity.

If you’ve ever been told you have thyroid problems, unexplained joint pain, or strange symptoms that flare and fade without reason, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What autoimmunity is and why your immune system can sometimes turn on your own body.
• The link between perimenopause and autoimmune flares, and why hormonal changes, especially in oestrogen, play such a big role.
• Dr Alessio Fasano’s “autoimmune triad”: the three factors needed for autoimmunity to take hold.
• Why gut health and leaky gut are central to immune balance.
• The most common triggers that spark autoimmunity in women, including stress, infections, toxins, and hormonal shifts.
• A closer look at Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, one of the most common autoimmune conditions for women in perimenopause.
• Five practical steps you can start taking today to calm your immune system and support your health.

Key takeaways:

• Autoimmunity doesn’t strike randomly, it develops from a mix of genetics, gut health, and triggers.
• Perimenopause is a window of vulnerability because of hormonal shifts, but it’s also an opportunity to strengthen your foundations.
• With the right support for your gut, nervous system, and environment, you can calm immune overdrive and protect your long-term health.
• Your body isn’t broken, it’s communicating with you.
