Autoimmune Disease Starts in Your Brain, Not Your Immune System
Autoimmune disease isn't a misfiring immune system β it's a brain that lost the ability to regulate one. Years of chronic stress, poor sleep, gut imbalance, and hormonal shifts can dysregulate the hypothalamus to the point where the immune system starts attacking your own tissue.
Deborah Maragopoulos, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with 30 years in neuro-immune-endocrinology, explains what actually starts the attack, why suppressing the immune system alone never fixes it, and what upstream support looks like in practice.
