FRIDAY 5 - Everyday Habits That Can Transform Autoimmune Recovery
In this Friday 5 episode, VJ Hamilton shares five simple, science-backed habits that can transform autoimmune healing — from reducing inflammation to restoring calm, energy, and resilience.
Drawing on both her professional experience as a Registered Nutritionist and her own personal recovery journey, VJ explores how small, consistent changes create profound physiological shifts. You’ll hear why she ditched her microwave for good, how morning sunlight even in the dead of winter can reset your immune rhythm, and why sleep, creativity, and connection are underestimated pillars of autoimmune recovery.
Whether you’re navigating Hashimoto’s, Sjögren’s, eczema, alopecia, or any chronic inflammatory condition, this episode reminds you that healing doesn’t start with perfection — it starts with a handful of habits done with intention.
