Have you made healthy changes to your diet but still not seen results? Have you tried the latest herbal remedies and wheatgrass shots, but your symptoms still niggle away at you? And do you generally feel like you are doing all you can to feel better, but it doesn’t seem enough?

I know I felt that way. I spent 25 years trying different health diets, and my autoimmune symptoms returned. I was vegan, then pescatarian, and then tried keto. I had a cupboard full of supplements that addressed the many symptoms I was experiencing, such as fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes and headaches, but nothing helped long term. I had begun to lose hope and accept that this was how life would be, and I would do my best with what I had. 

But I wasn't taking a complete approach,  but when I did, I saw changes happen, which is why I created The Complete Autoimmune RESET.

Highlight's from today's episode include:

• How to release emotions and toxins from your life and why it matters. 
• What nutrient deficiencies can contribute to autoimmune disease. 
• Why it is important to regulate your blood sugar with diet and lifestyle.
• Why cellular energy is at the heart of reversing autoimmune symptoms and feeling better.
• Why you can take a proactive rather than a reactive approach to your health to thrive in life.

Food intolerances and sensitivities are one of the main challenges for those with autoimmune diseases and inflammatory conditions. You may find that you started with one food reaction, and now you have several without any known reason. 

And they can spring up at any time. You may have always been able to tolerate gluten, and now you feel bloated after eating it. Or perhaps you have always eaten dairy, and now your sinuses flare up when you eat too much. 

So why does this happen in autoimmune diseases? 

One of the reasons is due to a loss of oral tolerance, which can lead to a cascade of inflammatory reactions and cause damage to self-tissues and organs. Oral tolerance is your body’s ability to not react to ingested foods, but this can be broken down in autoimmune disease

This episode covers what a loss of oral tolerance means, why it is critical in autoimmune disease, how a loss of oral tolerance occurs, and why it doesn’t just relate to your gut. 

Highlight's from today's episode include:

• Why do food reactions happen in autoimmune diseases?
• What is the difference between food intolerance, sensitivity and allergy?
• What causes food reactions?
• Is there more to food sensitivity than leaky gut syndrome?
• What you can do to reduce your food sensitivities.

If someone were to ask what the first thing they should do to feel better with autoimmune disease is, I would say that stabilising your blood sugar should be your number one priority. 

And the reason for this is that many symptoms that you may think relate to your autoimmune disease specifically may be the result of blood sugar dysregulation. 

In my own health, I suffered from symptoms of blood sugar imbalance for years, including fatigue, brain fog, increased appetite and anxiety, and once I was able to resolve it through diet and lifestyle interventions, I felt so much better, and I had a solid foundation to build on to improve my health. 

In today's episodes, I will share with you how blood sugar imbalance can impact your health and how you can naturally reduce your blood sugar levels and keep it stabilised so you have more energy, feel brighter and live free of sugar cravings.

Highlight's from today's episode include:

• What causes blood sugar dysregulation?
• How does imbalanced blood sugar lead to autoimmune disease. 
• Simple ways to decrease your blood sugar spikes. 
• Introduction to my free challenge, The Sugar RESET.

One of the biggest challenges with autoimmune disease is managing autoimmune flares. You can feel fantastic one day and then floored the next. 

And what makes autoimmune flares even more frustrating is that they can happen anytime. Planning work and social activities become a strain with repeated last-minute cancellations. 

I know when my autoimmune disease was in its active phase, and I was living flare to flare, I didn’t know how I would feel until I woke up in the morning. And this meant if I had booked an exercise class or I had an early meeting at work, I didn’t know whether I would be able to make it. 

In today's episodes, I will share with you my approach to managing autoimmune flares.

Highlight's from today's episode include:

• What causes autoimmune flares.
• What can trigger an autoimmune flares.
• Taking a proactive approach when you feel an autoimmune flare coming.
• The Autoimmune RESET approach to managing a flare.
