Hello, new here with a newly diagnosed autoimmune issue. I am pre-diabetic (runs in the family) and was diagnosed with alopecia areata at the age of 28, I am starting to think that my body has a significant amount of inflammation due to which the immune system is acting up. I do not have a perfect lifestyle, I dont exercise regularly, sleep 8 hours but go to bed late and wake up late, was under a lot of stress throughout my child and adult life and definitely did not eat clean (but starting too). Used to smoke occasionally in social settings but starting to say no when offered.
Would love to know, what everyone here have learned on their journey and what lifestyle modifications, diet changes have you been adopting to calm down your immune system.
