The statistics are clear that autoimmune diseases are on the rise.

1 in 12 people in the US and UK are currently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease but, it is estimated that 1 in 5 people are currently on the pathway to developing one.

The most common are:
⚕️Rheumatoid Arthritis
⚕️Celiac Disease
⚕️Lupus
⚕️Hypothyroiditis
⚕️Multiple Sclerosis
⚕️Psoriasis
⚕️Ulcerative Colitis
⚕️Crohns Disease
⚕️Type 1 Diabetes
⚕️Alopecia Areata

but there are over 100 diseases with the common factor that the patients' immune system is attacking and damaging its own tissue.

💊Unfortunately, autoimmune disease is currently underserved by our medical systems. Often the only course of action suggested is the prescription of powerful immune-modulating drugs to treat your visible symptoms. Little time is able to be spent finding the root cause of what is triggering your immune system in the first place.

The result is that more powerful doses are required to control your symptoms with their associated side effects. The probability of developing a second or third autoimmune condition also increases.

🥦🏃‍♀️🛌The good news is that diet, nutrition and lifestyle are essential parts of AID management. Whether you develop an autoimmune disease is only 25% genetic. 75% is down to your nutrition and lifestyle which gives us a huge area to work with to improve your condition.

There is still some confusion as to what Nutritional Therapy is!

The simplest definition is that it is the optimization of nutrition 🥦and lifestyle🏃‍♀️🛌 to improve both your physical and mental well being.

It is a whole body approach that appreciates that what we eat, how we process it, and what stresses we place upon ourselves, can fundamentally affect how we feel, how we live and whether or not we can thrive.

This whole body functional medicine approach addresses the potential underlying causes of ill health rather than simply treating the symptoms.

There is clear evidence that Nutritional Therapy can have a positive impact on a range of conditions:
👉Autoimmune Disease
👉Fatigue
👉Brain Fog and Mental Clarity
👉Digestive Issues
👉Joint pain
👉Migraines
👉Skin Conditions
👉Poor sleep

This is no one size fits all approach though. We are all unique and as such all my recommendations are tailored to your particular health issues, your lifestyle and most importantly your likes.

Very excited to say that I am officially launching my Nutritional Therapy Clinic.

For those who are not aware, I took the plunge 5 years ago to leave finance and follow my passion for food and nutrition. I studied at the Institute For Optimal Nutrition and qualified as a Nutritional Therapist in June 2021.

Stay tuned for more information on what Nutritional Therapy actually is and how it can help you take back control of your health.

In the meantime, please head over to my website for more information on how I can help. It would be great if you could share with your network and anyone you feel may be interested.
