Autoimmune Health Secrets: Ease Fatigue, Feel Better & Improve Your Health With Autoimmune Disease Using A Simple, Habit -Based Approach
Ever wonder the real reason autoimmune disease leaves you exhausted, overwhelmed, and unsure what to do to actually feel better?
Welcome to Autoimmune Health Secrets, the podcast revealing the smarter, simpler way to create habits that ease inflammation, boost energy, and bring back confidence in your health and life.
Hosted by Dr. Amy Behimer, a nationally board-certified health and wellness coach living with multiple autoimmune diagnoses—including MS—Amy shares the science, stories, and small steps that make big health changes feel good and last for good.
By listening, you’ll learn how to:
• Build feel-good habits that can make or break your health with autoimmune disease while also lessening fatigue and uncertainty
• Simplify healthy living without feeling like you’re either “on” or “off” the consistency train
• Shift from managing autoimmune disease to creating autoimmune health in your everyday life
It’s no secret that better habits lead to better health, especially with an autoimmune diagnosis. What’s missing is an approach to make them fun, effective, and inevitable.
Enter The Habit Hub Approach to Autoimmune Health—six spokes of mindset, food, movement, rest & relaxation, connection, and “good stress”—to strengthen your body, steady your mind, and finally feel like yourself again.
Start with #1 to kick off your autoimmune health journey to feeling and functioning better. Or, if you stop your scroll on an episode that speaks to you, lean in and trust it's the perfect place to start!

#111 | Rewriting Hard To Break Habits By "Keeping Just The Essence" While Still Moving Towards Autoimmune Health
Do you ever try to quit something you love—only to find yourself missing something and wanting to dive right back in?
What if instead of giving up entirely, you learned how to keep the essence — the part of the habit you really enjoy — and transform it into something healthier? In this episode, I'll introduce you to a powerful strategy to help you shift gently away from habits that aren’t serving you, while preserving the feeling, sensory element, or ritual that gives it meaning.
- Learn how to identify the “essence” of a habit (flavor, feeling, ritual, sensory cues)
- Discover practical swaps and experiments (e.g. fancy glass + sparkling water instead of wine)
- Understand why this method works: it keeps the cue and the emotional reward, reduces loss, and leverages cognitive flexibility
Press play for help to identify one habit you’d like to change and make it possible.
Note: The Habit Hub for Autoimmune Health is now Autoimmune Health Secrets—same mission to help you feel better and function better using habits that are enjoyable, effective, and (together we make them) inevitable.
