What happens when a conventionally trained doctor becomes a patient herself?In today’s episode, we sit down with Dr. Kara Wada, a board-certified allergist, immunologist, and lifestyle medicine physician - who also happens to live with an autoimmune condition. Her journey from physician to “spoonie” transformed how she practices medicine and how she supports others navigating chronic illness.Together, we explore what it really means to become immune confident, a concept Kara developed that challenges fear-based narratives around autoimmunity and offers a more empowered path forward. We talk about the importance of nervous system regulation, setting “anti-inflammatory boundaries,” and the healing power of listening to your body.Whether you’re newly diagnosed, burnt out by the medical system, or somewhere in between, this conversation is a reminder that healing is possible.In this episode, we discuss:Kara’s personal story of navigating autoimmune disease as a physicianThe limitations of the current healthcare model, and what needs to changeWhat it means to become “immune confident”The link between the nervous system and immune healthPractical tools for navigating autoimmune symptoms with more clarity and self-trustConnect with Dr. Kara Wada Website: www.drkarawada.com Instagram: @drkarawada Podcast: Becoming Immune Confident Support the showIf you loved this episode, it would mean the world if you’d take a moment to subscribe, leave a review, or share it with someone who needs to hear this.
