Anklyosing Spondylitits (AS), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Lupus, Type 1 Diabetes, Crohn’s, Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD), Celiac Disease are just a few of the approximately 100 chronic illnesses of the immune system. 50 million Americans are struggling with some kind of autoimmune condition. I’ve dedicated my career to understanding the underlying triggers of autoimmunity and have relied on a specific autoimmune diet, nutrition, exercise, and acupuncture to restore immune balance.
The following are some general concerns of autoimmune patients:
1. Knowing what to eat and what to avoid.
2. Resolving dysbiosis, SIBO, and repairing leaky gut.
3. Cooling inflammation and oxidative stress.
4. Balancing the immune system.
5. Reducing stress and improving sleep.
It is now common knowledge that you can reduce the frequency and severity of autoimmune reactions by making lifestyle and nutritional adjustments, you can also decrease the number of flareups and dramatically halt the expression of your autoimmune condition. There is no doubt that nutrition and food choices are extremely important in halting autoimmune reactions.
