Fatigue is one of the most common and difficult symptoms of Sjögren’s, and it has many different layers. One piece that often gets overlooked is blood sugar balance.

When blood sugar rises quickly and then drops, the result is often an energy crash. For someone already living with ongoing immune activation and inflammation, those crashes can place even more stress on the body and make fatigue worse.

Keeping blood sugar steadier throughout the day helps conserve energy, supports hormone balance, and reduces unnecessary inflammation.

And this doesn’t require a restrictive diet - it can often be as simple as making sure meals and snacks include protein, healthy fats, and fiber so that carbohydrates are never eaten alone to avoid the insulin spikes.

Did you know that up to 92% of people with Sjögren’s experience digestive issues like reflux, bloating, or constipation?

These symptoms are often brushed off as “just IBS,” but poor gut health can actually fuel inflammation and worsen Sjögren’s across the body.

You’ve probably heard that air pollution mainly affects the lungs.

But research shows it can do much more than that, driving inflammation throughout the body and making Sjögren’s symptoms worse.

Overall, studies have linked high pollution to:

- A higher risk of developing Sjögren’s (and other AI conditions)

- More severe eye dryness and irritation

- Increased outpatient visits on high-pollution days

The good news is that with a few small steps you can protect your health and reduce the impact of polluted air. Read the post for more.

One thing we’ve seen again and again with Sjögren’s… is that the more people try to "just push through" and try harder, the more the body pushes back.

If you’re always doing doing doing (exercising, working, researching, managing everything) but ignoring the signals your body’s sending… it can leave you feeling exhausted, depleted and leading to symptom flare-ups.

Healing starts when you slow down, listen in, and allow rest to be part of your routine and not something you have to "earn".

Many people think we’re an alternative health service and that working with us means stepping away from their doctor.

Today, we want to dispel that myth:

➡️ We’re a complementary health service.

That means we work with your medical care, not instead of it.

➡️ We value conventional medicine

But we also know it doesn’t adequately address important healing factors like diet, supplementation, fatigue, digestion, stress, sleep, or daily symptom management.

➡️ That’s where we come in.

We help fill in the gaps, so you feel fully supported on your healing path.

🩺🌱 You don’t have to choose between natural and conventional healthcare.

These two approaches can (and should) work together to provide you with the best chances of health improvement.

If we wanted to make your Sjögren’s symptoms worse, this is what we would tell you:

- That you need to push through and power through harder.
- That you’re lazy for resting (and we would make you feel bad for it).
- That what you eat (and how you eat it) doesn’t matter.
- That everything will get better on its own and you should just wait and do nothing.

How many of you live with these messages daily? We know this advice doesn’t work, and it actively can harm those with Sjögren’s.

If you would like to learn the advice and recommendations that do work, follow us for more.

You might have heard that people with Sjögren's (and other autoimmune conditions) need to avoid nightshades (i.e. potatoes, peppers, tomatoes...) if they want to reduce their inflammation and improve their symptoms.

And although a minority of people could be sensitive to these foods, there is no reliable scientific evidence that shows they should be eliminated in those with Sjögren's. And this matches our clinical experience as well.

In fact, eliminating them unnecessarily could make you miss out on a range of important nutrients and anti-inflammatory compounds.

👉 The bottom line:

There is no reliable scientific evidence to show that reducing or eliminating nightshades is beneficial for Sjögren's. Even anecdotally, most people are able to tolerate them well.

Nightshades are rich in beneficial compounds like fibre, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory polyphenols, all of which support overall health.

So unless you’ve personally noticed a reaction, there’s no reason to avoid them: they can be a nourishing part of a healing diet.

Can Sjögren’s cause low-grade fevers?

The short answer is yes (although it’s not one of the most classic symptoms of the disease).

That said, low-grade fever is considered one of the possible systemic symptoms of Sjögren’s, meaning it reflects inflammation happening beyond just the moisture-producing glands. It can show up early in the disease, during flares, or alongside other signs that the immune system is active.

In some people (especially children) low-grade fever can appear before the more typical dryness symptoms. In adults, this is less common, but it does happen, and it may even lead to a faster diagnosis, as people tend to seek medical advice sooner when fever is present.

If you’ve already been diagnosed with Sjögren’s and are experiencing persistent or unexplained low-grade fever, it’s important to bring this up with your doctor. While in many cases, it reflects ongoing inflammation linked to the disease, it can also signal more serious complications.
