The Lupus Chick

Season 2, Episode 7,   Oct 02, 2018, 01:22 AM

On this episode we speak with Marisa Zeppieri about Lupus.

Marisa Zeppieri is the Founder/Editor in Chief of LupusChick,  in addition to being a decade-long journalist and author, otherwise known as The Lupus Chick.  Lupus is a chronic autoimmune and inflammatory disease. In a patient with Lupus, the immune system that was originally designed to protect the body turns against itself. This in turn leads to inflammation, and chronic inflammation over time damages the body’s organs and tissues.
