Women have been told how we have to show up at work, in our relationships, in our families, in society at large, forever. And it turns out it's costing us way more than we thought. It's making us sick. My guest today, Sara Hirsh Bordo, is a 15-time award-winning documentary filmmaker and somebody who was hit with melanoma, breast tumors, Hashimoto's, and Epstein-Barr all at once. Instead of just treating it, she investigated it. She funded her own research of 1,000 women, the first-ever study on the relationship between empowerment and autoimmune conditions, and what she found was absolutely groundbreaking. Her study was endorsed by a former US surgeon general, and it's an absolute paradigm shift in how we think about autoimmune conditions. Sarah has since completely healed, and we’re going to talk about exactly what she did in this episode. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • The shocking link between being a "good girl" and autoimmune disease • Why eldest and only daughters are disproportionately affected • The science of epigenetics and what it means for your health today • The biological chain reaction that connects people-pleasing to disease • How Sara healed from melanoma, Hashimoto's, breast tumors, and Epstein-Barr • What to do differently with your doctors For more from Sara Hirsh Bordo: • Book, Autoimmunity and The Good Girls: https://autoimmunityandthegoodgirls.com/#order • Website: https://www.womenrising.com/ • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahirshbordo/ Read the new study on autoimmunity and being a good girl mentioned in this episode: https://autoimmunesurvey.com/ Read the ACE questionnaire mentioned in this episode: https://www.acesaware.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/ACE-Questionnaire-for-Adults-Identified-English-rev.7.26.22.pdf Check out our NEW YouTube Channel with tons of YouTube exclusive Shorts, exclusive podcast content, and full video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@LizMoodyTV Ready to uplevel every part of your life?
