# BuddyRise > BuddyRise is an AI companion built for people living with autoimmune disease — voice-first symptom tracking, lifestyle pattern detection, and evidence-based guidance across 50+ conditions. BuddyRise connects medical history, blood results, and wearable data with peer-reviewed research on lifestyle medicine. It surfaces the triggers and patterns driving a person's autoimmunity and turns that into day-to-day, doable next steps — between appointments, not instead of them. ## Pages - [Home](/): What BuddyRise is, who it's for, how Buddy works, and the science behind it. - [Blog](/blog): Evidence-based writing on autoimmunity, gut health, sleep, wearables, and lifestyle. - [Testimonials](/testimonials): Stories and voice notes from people building remission with Buddy. ## Blog posts - [The Leaky Gut–Autoimmune Connection](/blog/leaky-gut-autoimmune-connection): Gut permeability, immune dysregulation, and what functional medicine gets right. - [The Sleep–Inflammation Cycle](/blog/autoimmune-sleep-inflammation-cycle): How disrupted sleep drives autoimmune flares. - [AI for Autoimmune Self-Management](/blog/ai-autoimmune-self-management): How AI changes day-to-day autoimmunity care. - [Environmental Triggers of Autoimmunity](/blog/environment-autoimmune-triggers): Diet, stress, toxins, and the exposome. - [Hope After an Autoimmune Diagnosis](/blog/hope-after-autoimmune-diagnosis): What changes when you stop waiting. - [Flare Causes, Warning Signs & Prediction](/blog/autoimmune-flare-causes-warning-signs-predict): Spotting flares before they hit.
