Autoimmune isn't caused by one thing which is why it isn't fixed by one thing.

 

Working with your doctor is critical. You have a medical condition, but genetics and medication are only one part of the solution. 

The rest is up to you to give your body what it needs to better self-regulate & rebuild health.

It's up to you to change the terrain of a body that allows a disease & symptoms to flourish. 

You do so when you correct nutrition, digestive, nervous system & lymphatic imbalances that allow inflammation to take hold.

Skills your doctor doesn't have time to teach you and a supplement or recipe can't fix.

The main reason why women continue to struggle with fatigue, physical discomfort & metabolic challenges despite trying different diets, supplements or even medications?

THEY ARE STUCK IN A CYCLE OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION WITH SYMPTOMS LIKE ...

 

FATIGUE & BRAIN FOG: Waking up exhausted and pushing through the day. Feeling like a walking zombie, wearing a mask, crashing after lunch and having problems recalling even the simplest things (where are my glasses ... oh, they're on my head). 

MUSCLE & JOINT PAIN: There's the everyday morning hobble across the floor to the bathroom and the "OMG" acute flare that forces you to take time off work or grit your teeth while you try to pretend "everything is fine" because you don't want others to perceive you as sick or a complainer.

EMBARRASSING & UNPREDICTABLE DIGESTION: Gas, burping, nausea, heart burn, constipation and diarrhea that has you leaving the room or sitting for hours. It's a problem at work and during meetings. You also keep a mental map of all the clean bathrooms in town (just in case).

WEIGHT & METABOLIC CONCERNS: You lost too much in a flare OR now you're gaining while barely eating!  The doctor is warning of high blood sugar, cholesterol or blood pressure. Your hormones are going crazy. And none of it makes sense because you're following doctor's orders: cut back sugar & fat, and increase exercise.

LOW CONFIDENCE & MOOD: You're smart, more than capable and frustrated you're not making more progress. The symptoms are wearing you down. You're wearing the stress on your face at home and work, and feel overwhelmed ... reacting to symptoms instead of being proactive in your health.

 

While autoimmune is with your for life, these symptoms do not need to dictate your life. You CAN fix these things and reconnect with your body & health while living with chronic illness.

 

A hard truth ...

Autoimmune diagnoses are growing 17% annually, 79% of diagnoses are women, and once you have one diagnosis, you have higher risk of developing others, including co-conditions like insulin resistance.

 

This means MORE  symptoms, wait times + expense while the list of medications and complications grows yearly.

 

Medication can help YET no one is teaching you how to naturally & effectively reduce key imbalances & drivers for chronic inflammation ... things within your control.

  • Nutrition Imbalances (how to flood the body with the right types of foods for better cellular, immune and metabolic health)
  • Poor Digestion & Gut Health (how to naturally improve gas, bloat, acid, bowel habits to improve nutrition status & immune regulation)
  • Overactive Stress Hormones & Nervous System (how naturally improve stress metabolism, anxiety, mood and a nervous system stuck in ALERT or fight mode) 
  • Stagnant Lymphatic & Synovial Flow (an all too often overlooked role in immune response, localized pain and all over fatigue)

 

Chances are you've read about these things, but how do you know what's best for YOUR body, YOUR diagnosis and YOUR life?

 

What is easy and what can you stick with on days you don't feel well?

 

As women with autoimmune, we know that the all the research, experimentation, feeling guilty for being "sick" or having to rely on others ... It takes a huge mental toll, especially when you try different things over and over again with limited results.

You feel like you're failing, your body is broken or you have to "try harder" when you're already giving 150%: 

  • Lying in bed at night, worrying, not able to sleep
  • Having to say NO and disappointing family or friends because you don't feel well (again)
  • Running back to the doctor with a new symptom or needing to try yet another new medication
  • Feeling alone because no one really understands what you're going through

 

 

"I knew I needed more than just medication. I had tried some dietary changes on my own, as well as tried low FODMAP with help of a dietician. None helped much. I like that the Network includes not only nutrition advise, but also yoga and breathwork, and that it is affordable."

Monika, Lymphocytic Colitis

"I want to learn how to work with things that are within my control to help support my health and not exacerbate my autoimmune disease. I want to better understand how foods play a role in my health and how I can control my stress response. I haven’t been able to move due to the fatigue experienced from my condition."

Amber, Hashimoto's, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

"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

Anita, Hashimoto’s and Type 1 Diabetes

“I like that it combines nutritional information with breathing exercises and restorative yoga.

Vanessa's approach to autoimmune is feeding & fuelling gut, lymphatic and nervous system health, in addition to the cells in our body. Food is a critical part of the solution, as are lifestyle changes (how we digest life).

Everything we recommend is designed to INTEGRATE with your larger health plan, not replace it.

"Vanessa helped me stay on track, especially on the days I wanted to give up"

Headshot of Vanessa - anti-inflammatory nutritionist

"Vanessa is compassionate, informative, and motivating. Her programs are set in a way that you are gradually changing and improving your diet and lifestyle. She helped me stay on track, by providing me the ‘pep’ talk I needed to push through, especially on the days or weeks I just wanted to give up. I don’t think I would have been so successful without her and her amazing programs."

- Victoria S, RA, Lupus, Sjogren’s

"Vanessa's approach is very different from my previous experiences. I am a perfectionist and in the past I would jump in 100% with a new eating plan and try to be perfect. However, with Vanessa's approach, she helped me to build a better relationship with food and a plan that was flexible to suit my specific needs. It continued to support me to be healthier, but I didn't feel deprived or too overwhelmed (like I did in the past). I also liked her level headed approach between the medical and holistic industry. Again, it was a good balance between the two and not the one or the other."

“Learning restorative yoga and mindfulness from Lori has truly been life changing for me. I suffer from fibromyalgia and chronic pain. Some days are much tougher than others and the breath and movement tools I have learned are now part of my every day life. I’m so grateful for her patience, her calm gentle encouragement and her positive energy. I encourage anyone with chronic pain to try Lori’s classes. The mind body connection is real and powerful!!

"Kristin has gotten me back to sleep at night."

Headshot of Kristin - certified professional health and wellness coach

"The breath pattern Kristin taught me has gotten me back to sleep at night without playing back 20 scenarios in my mind and exhausting myself 30 minutes before the alarm goes off."

- Marianne B

 

"Got labs back today and things are better than ever! I'm sure a big part of this is because I've been following all of your brilliant guidance ... Thyroid is better than it's bee in a year and kidneys are happier probably because of all the hydration, good iron and B12!"

Cammy, Working Mom, Fibromyalgia, Uveitis

Too good to be true?

A personal note ...

In 2021, our communities and clients told us (loud and clear) they want affordable, monthly professional guidance and support because autoimmune is a lifelong relationship that isn't fixed by just one thing.

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 at this price, 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 can feel empowered in your health and 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.

We don't want to pigeon-hole anyone into a program or service that may not be best for you at this time. 

So, if you're ready for the next step in building resilience, we invite you to join us. It will be our honour to support you.
