Autoimmune Conditions


Have you been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease?

  • Coeliac Disease
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Crohn’s Disease
  • Ulcerative Colitis (UC)
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
  • Psoriasis
  • Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and Graves disease
  • Lupus

Our immune system can work for us and, unfortunately, at times it may work against us.

Autoimmunity occurs when our immune system attacks our own body’s tissues which results in increased inflammation and self tissue destruction.

Autoimmune conditions can develop from any of these causes

  • Genetic – with changes in our gene expression occurring at any age disrupting the body’s ability to tolerate itself triggering auto reactivity and self tissue damage
  • Bacterial or viral infections
  • Poor gut microbiome health and leaky gut syndrome
  • Stressful events

What can Naturopathic Treatment do to help address autoimmunity?

  • Diet – the types of food we eat can directly affect our overall health and trigger autoimmune conditions. Providing our body with the right foods for nourishment and testing foods for reactivity can be key in resolving symptoms and gaining remission
  • Our Environment- I always consider pollutants and chemicals in your environment, food supply, water and air
  • Digestion – with more than 70% of our immune system located in your digestive systems, poor gut bacteria and digestive function can impair the immune system and exacerbate autoimmune conditions
  • Stress – produces high levels of cortisol which has been shown to alter the microbiome of our digestive system and linked to autoimmune disease. We can use in house testing and additional testing (link here) to assess your digestive system health
  • Inflammation – High levels of systemic inflammation impair the body’s immune system. Addressing inflammation and the cause is an important treatment when it comes to managing autoimmune conditions
