Everything In Conversation: Is Being A Bitch The Cure To Chronic Illness?

Everything In Conversation: Is Being A Bitch The Cure To Chronic Illness?

Hello EIClique! This week we're asking, is the secret to good health, being a bitch, actually?


In a piece titled ‘“Be a bitch or develop an autoimmune disease”, Sheya Kurian writes, ‘The internet’s latest health theory isn’t backed by science, but its popularity reveals how many women are exhausted by their own pleasantness’. The theory is everywhere on TikTok and Instagram, posts and testimonials racking up hundreds of thousands of views argue that years of people-pleasing, conflict-avoidance, and suppressed anger eventually show up in the body as eczema, hives, flare-ups, you name it.


As Kurian writes in the piece, no doctor is prescribing "stand up to your annoying coworker" as treatment, however, there's obviously a reason that so many women resonate with it as an idea: research does link chronic stress to inflammation and immune dysregulation, and women are disproportionately affected by autoimmune disease.


What do we make of this latest internet craze? Listen and find out!


We hope you enjoy, as always please rate, review, follow & share the show :) love ya, O,R,B. xxoxoxoxo


“Be a bitch or develop an autoimmune disease” has a CTA for women
