Nutrition For Autoimmunity
Autoimmune diseases occur when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, leading to chronic inflammation and a range of health issues. It’s essential to comprehend the fundamentals of autoimmunity before diving into the role how nutrition can support you.
My goal is to not only support you in navigating the food as medicine approach, but to coach on the importance nourishment plays for your long term health journey.
Having mostly worked with Hashimoto’s and Rheumatoid Arthritis patients, I have also helped patients navigate Coeliac disease and Crohn’s.
Autoimmune conditions can only be diagnosed by specific and qualified health professionals. If this is you, you may have been told that medication is the only prescription available to you.
However lifestyle factors including how you nourish yourself can be one of the many tools in your toolbox to support your health. What we eat has a profound impact on our immune system. Proper nutrition can help manage symptoms, reduce inflammation and improve the quality of life for individuals with autoimmune conditions.
Following an anti-inflammatory diet is beneficial, but even this is very unique from person to person. When it comes to autoimmune conditions, I very much take the view of it is not a one size fits all approach.
Understanding the role that food intolerances may play for you as well as the diversity of your microbiome may be very helpful for your long-term health journey.
Tools that I see of value in clinic depending on the type of autoimmune condition you present with include:
• Food intolerance testing (blood test)• Full thyroid panel testing (blood test)• Comprehensive Stool Analysis (stool sample)• Microbiome protocol (food and supplements)• Anti-inflammatory support (food and supplements)• Stress management (supplements, exercise and referral for other health modalities)
