Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune disease is a condition in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue. It is a complex disorder that can affect almost any part of the body, including the gut. Gut health is especially affected by autoimmune disease, as it is home to 70% of our immune system. Symptoms vary depending on the organ or tissue affected, but can include fatigue, muscle aches, joint pain, and skin rashes. Treatment for autoimmune diseases typically involve lifestyle changes and medication to reduce inflammation and replace hormones or other substances that are not produced in adequate amounts by the body.  If you would like to get more information on gut health, please take the free gut health assessment and I will be in contact with you soon!
