If ever there was a reason...

Hi, I'm Vanessa Bond

CEO of Bond With Health Inc, Founder of The Integrative Autoimmune Network 

I first became a Certified Nutritional Practitioner to overcome my own health goals (IBS, eczema, elevated RH factor, undiagnosed IBD). But then in 2018, my daughter was diagnosed with an ultra rare rheumatic condition called CRMO (similar to JIA or RA) and our whole world changed overnight.

Nutrition, lifestyle, digestion and nervous system support have been MAJOR factors in helping her stay in control her symptoms and ensure her disease doesn't dictate her life.

Today, the majority of my practice is focused on helping women (& their families) target inflammation and imbalances that show up as fatigue, chronic pain, digestive issues, skin outbreaks and weight gain. I use a combination of research-based nutrition, supplement and lifestyle planning to help my private clients and members of The Integrative Autoimmune Network realize their goals and feel confident in their bodies.

It's my personal mission to help bridge the gap between medical and integrative care for those with autoimmune or other inflammatory conditions so you're not left wondering what to do or who to turn to for help. I would like to see an increase in nutritional research for autoimmune and ensure every person receives an integrative care road map when you are first diagnosed so you know exactly what you can do to help control your disease alongside your medical treatment.
