My guest today, Julie Michelson, is not only an international speaker, National Board-Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach, and someone who specializes in inflammation and autoimmunity — but, she’s also a fellow biohacker! She is super interested in the strategic decisions and actions that we can take every single day to fully optimize our health.
While Julie and I want to talk about autoimmune risk and the things that we can do for our autoimmune conditions, we thought it would be really fun if we took all of the influences on autoimmune disease and talked about our favorite biohacks for each. What this means is: we are not keeping this episode exclusively for those at autoimmune risk or those managing that disease themselves. We’re keeping this super general and so that everyone listening will be able to use this information to influence and optimize their health!
In this fun conversation, we’re covering 10 topics and sharing our top biohacks for each one! 1. Sleep 2. Stress 3. Detox 4. Digestion 5. Immune health 6. Brain 7. Energy 8. Skin 9. Hormones 10. Autoimmune and inflammation risk. You’re not going to want to miss out!

BADASS FUEL — Fuel for Badass Women
Scientifically Supported Ingredients | Support, Not Replacement | Non-GMO
Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation into my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics. Learn more or order the products yourself by visiting BadassFuel.com!
