In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with Sarah Khan, integrative and functional nutritionist and PhD candidate, to unpack the complexities of autoimmune disease. Sarah shares her personal battle with Hashimoto's, gut dysfunction, and chronic fatigue—and how self-education and root-cause healing transformed her life. They discuss why autoimmune conditions are often misunderstood in mainstream medicine, how women can break free from gaslighting, and why holistic approaches focusing on gut health, lifestyle, and nutrition are critical. Listeners will get real, actionable strategies to manage autoimmune symptoms without falling for extreme or unsustainable protocols.
About the Guest: Sarah Khan is an integrative and functional nutritionist specializing in autoimmune, gut health, and hormonal balance. Currently completing her PhD, she combines science-based research with personal experience to guide her clients toward sustainable healing. Sarah is passionate about empowering women to trust their bodies and advocate for themselves in a system that often dismisses their symptoms.
Key Takeaways:
-
Autoimmune diseases are multifactorial and require personalized treatment.
-
Self-advocacy and asking for complete thyroid and antibody testing are crucial.
-
Start with simple steps: eliminate processed foods, prioritize home-cooked meals, balance blood sugar, and supplement with Vitamin D and Omega-3.
-
Gut health directly influences autoimmune conditions through the gut-brain axis.
-
Healing is not linear; lifestyle, stress management, and holistic care play vital roles.
