For women who want to improve energy, inflammation, sore joints & muscles, so you can feel like YOU again, no matter your stage of autoimmunity or what you've tried in the past
Let us assure you that how you feel right now, is not as good as it gets.
Working with your doctor is critical, yet genetics, medication, supplements or hands-on therapy are only part of the solution.
Nutrition. Lifestyle. Environmental influences. Digestion. Stress.
All healthcare experts agree these factors play a HUGE role in the severity of symptoms, progression of disease and quality of life.
GOOD NEWS!
We are here to fill in the GAPS of your current treatment plan so you can experience even more progress.
This is why we created ...
The Integrative Autoimmune Network & Our Free Introductory Jumpstart Program!
We are the most comprehensive online monthly membership for women with autoimmune who are ready for wisdom, simple steps & effective resources to help you create & stick with nutrition & lifestyle changes that keeps you in control, no matter what life puts in your path.
Everything we provide is designed to INTEGRATE with your treatment plan, not replace it ... a network of specialists + community you can lean on in between your doctors' appointments for greater progress & relief.
Your team includes several autoimmune specialists in the areas of functional & holistic nutrition and mind-body therapies with five autoimmune among us (rheumatic disease, MS, Hashimoto's, IBD, psoriasis).
We've walked in corporate stilettos, are raising families of our own, and understand the demands you have at home, work and in the community. Making yourself a priority isn't always easy, but we know from experience, it is always worth it!
You have one body and one life ... Make the most of it.

"To grow I need coaching. How can I help myself without the wisdom of those smarter than me? Perfection gets in the way of healing for me. If I can't do it well, I just don't at all. When I learned about this, I had to join. I feel blessed and I look forward to trying new things. I have already learned so much."
Julie S, Autoimmune Thyroiditis
"I was attracted to this membership because it focused on nutrition and using yoga and breath work to help the body relax so it can heal. I hadn't seen anything like it. It was the first program I've found that didn't cost thousands of dollars and wasn't selling their own line of supplements. The fact that the three of you would do this to help people and make it affordable meant the world to me."
Lucy, Lichen Planus

Too good to be true?
A personal note ...
In 2021, our communities and clients told us (loud and clear) they want affordable, monthly guidance & support with vetted professionals because autoimmune is a lifelong relationship and they need support year-round.
They are busy, want to keep working and want to reduce their risks for metabolic disease + additional diagnoses ... something that is common with autoimmune, that no one talks about until it's too late.
So in 2022, we created what they asked for and quite frankly, there isn’t anything like this for autoimmune with this level of expertise, personalization and support, which is why a growing body of doctors & health professionals recommend our membership to their patients and clients.
It is our personal mission to remove the physical, emotional and financial strains of autoimmune, so you feel empowered in your health and your ability to work with your body, no matter what life throws at you.
We are committed to supporting YOU ... the person ... Which is why we offer The Jumpstart free trial and our "cancel anytime" policy.
