70: Regulation Over Perfection: A Sustainable Path to Autoimmune Healing with Kellie Lupsha

Healing doesn’t have to be extreme to be effective.

In this episode of Autoimmune Adventures, hosts Stacy and Becky are joined by Kellie Lupsha, who shares an encouraging, science-backed perspective on supporting the body through nervous system regulation, detoxification, and small daily habits that compound over time.

We dive into the NRF2 pathway, a powerful internal system often described as a “genetic thermostat” that helps regulate inflammation, detoxification, and cellular resilience. Kellie breaks down complex science into relatable, real-world examples—like tuning a piano that’s been sitting untouched for years—and explains why supporting this pathway can be transformative for overall health.

This conversation also tackles:

• Why massive detoxes can backfire—and what to do instead

• How your body is already designed to detox daily

• The connection between toxins, brain fog, weight changes, and metabolic health

• Simple habit-stacking strategies that don’t add stress to your life

• Why mindset, hydration, and gentle movement matter more than perfection

Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that healing isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about supporting your body in ways that feel doable, compassionate, and sustainable.

Whether you’re navigating autoimmune disease, chronic illness, or simply trying to feel better in your body, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and hope.
