Support for Autoimmune conditions
​Autoimmune conditions can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, it’s possible to calm inflammation, restore balance, and regain quality of life. Using evidence-based strategies and advanced training, I help uncover the root drivers of autoimmunity and provide personalised care tailored to you.
Conditions I Commonly Support
With a six-month mentorship under Dr. Brad Leech, a leading educator in autoimmune conditions, along with ongoing advanced training and clinical experience, I bring an evidence-based and comprehensive approach to supporting clients with autoimmune disorders. My focus is on identifying and addressing the root drivers of immune dysfunction while tailoring treatment to each individual. I regularly work with clients experiencing a wide range of autoimmune conditions, including:
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA):
A chronic inflammatory condition affecting the joints, often linked to systemic inflammation and gut dysbiosis.
Ulcerative colitis:
An inflammatory bowel disease driven by immune dysregulation in the gut, leading to pain, bleeding, and digestive disturbance.
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis:
An autoimmune thyroid condition leading to hypothyroidism, fatigue, weight changes, and mood disturbances.
Graves disease:
A condition of thyroid overactivity caused by autoantibodies, often resulting in anxiety, palpitations, and weight loss.
The Four Key Drivers of Autoimmune Disease
Scientific research highlights four primary factors that contribute to the development and progression of autoimmune disease:
​
-
Chronic Inflammation – Ongoing systemic inflammation fuels tissue damage and worsens autoimmune activity.
-
Increased Intestinal Permeability (“Leaky Gut”) – A compromised gut barrier allows immune triggers such as toxins, bacteria, and food antigens to activate the immune system.
-
Immune Dysregulation – The immune system becomes overactive and loses tolerance to the body’s own tissues.
-
Gut Dysbiosis – Imbalances in the gut microbiome promote inflammation, disrupt immune balance, and perpetuate autoimmunity.
​
By addressing each of these core drivers, it is possible to calm the immune response, support tissue healing, and improve resilience.
My Approach
Every person’s autoimmune journey is unique. My approach includes:
-
Comprehensive case-taking to uncover underlying triggers and patterns.
-
Functional testing (if needed) such as gut microbiome analysis, intestinal permeability markers, and immune-related blood work.
-
Targeted interventions using herbal medicine, nutraceuticals, therapeutic nutrition, and lifestyle strategies to reduce inflammation, restore gut integrity, and regulate immune balance.
-
Ongoing support and monitoring to adapt treatment as the body heals and changes.
The goal is not only to manage symptoms but to address the underlying drivers, helping clients regain energy, function, and quality of life.
