The Network helps you …
Follow An Evidence-Based Nutrition Plan For Autoimmune
Our nutritionists remove the guesswork of trying to figure out what foods are best for your condition.
Your membership includes proven eating plans & professional guidance to help you improve energy, digestion, inflammation and weight.
We focus on what foods to ADD using elements of the Autoimmune Nutrition Triad and use Reality Based Meal Planning to simplify the process. This makes nutrition easy and effective so you don't have to spend hours in the kitchen.
Improve Strength & Focus One Step & Breath At A Time
Our scientifically proven yoga, meditation & breathwork classes help calm the body instead of triggering more reactions or overtaxing the nervous system. This allows members to build both physical and emotional strength & resilience with intention and focus.
Our yoga, meditation and breath coaches have 20+ years experience in pain and fatigue and we’ve created our on-demand and live classes in a way that is suitable for all body types and levels of experience.
Practical Tools & Support To Navigate The Ups/Downs of Chronic Illness
We include various resources, coaching and guest speakers to support your life with autoimmune …
Sleep, gut health, hormones, work strategies, what to do when in a flare, family considerations, household chemicals, pain management, etc ... LIFE!
Simple Action Steps + Expert Guidance = Predictable Results
We simplify the science and take a step-by-step approach in all we do, encouraging our members to take a progressive approach to avoid overwhelm and analysis paralysis:
- Beginner classes for those getting started
- Intermediate to advanced support for those ready to take their health to the next level.
Our membership combines 30 decades of experience in supporting root causes for autoimmune flares and inflammation:
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Digestive disruptors & gut health
- Stress or nervous system overload
Members who implement our monthly action steps can expect a 50-70% increase in energy, 70-90% improvement in digestive function, 30-50% improvement in pain and 5 - 20 pounds lost in the first 2-3 months.
What we teach is often missing from health plans or too expensive ... no more!
Professional guidance should not have to put you into debt.
The average cost per disease for autoimmune is anywhere from $20 - $30K a year, not including time off work or missed life experiences because you don't feel well.
As professionals who have learned to live well with chronic illness, we have choose to pay things forward and empower our members with proven plans and guidance so you can actively work on you health with intention and learn skills that will serve you beyond medications and supplements.
“I knew I needed more than just medication. I had tried some dietary changes on my own as well as with the help of a dietitian. None helped much. I like that The Network includes not only nutrition advice, but also yoga and breathwork, and that it is affordable.” (Monika, Lymphocytic Colitis)
“I wanted to add a yoga practice into my daily life, but wasn't able to do 'normal' yoga because of my mobility restrictions.” (Karin, RA, Hashimoto’s, Type 2 Diabetes)

Meet your autoimmune experts
This membership was created by Vanessa Bond and her founding partners out of a promise to help other women (& their families) have more opportunities for health and recovery. Frustrated by the lack of affordable options for professionally-guided care, we created The Integrative Autoimmune Network.
Vanessa Bond, BA, CNP, AIP Certified Coach brings both 10 years of clinical experience to The Network, along with the perspective of having her own autoimmune family. Vanessa is the mom of a teen with a rare rheumatic auto-inflammatory condition called CRMO (similar to RA or JIA) and Vanessa also has immune-based issues, including eczema, IBD and RA markers (but no diagnosis). The nutrition and health strategies she shares in this membership were key in changing the trajectory of her daughter’s health. These are also the strategies she uses in her private practice.
Loraine Burt, BA, is a Certified Yoga Instructor (Esther Myers), children’s author (Unicorn Caitie), mom to two amazing young adults, and a Toronto District School Board approved instructor. With a background in employee health benefits, her passion is helping women and families live more mindful, healthy and productive lives.
Kristin Wedding, MA is the CEO of Vyana Wellness & Yoga, a Certified Wellness Coach, Registered Yoga Teacher, and Pause Breathwork Facilitator. She has been living well with multiple sclerosis and chronic pain for 10 years. In her own experience and after working with hundreds of autoimmune women, she believes stress is one of the biggest root drivers of autoimmune and its physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. Kristin’s expertise developing yoga and breathwork practices for autoimmune, stress, and trauma combined with her role as a busy mom AND thriving with MS is a special combination that is hard to find in the autoimmune community.
As women with autoimmune in our own lives, we know you have a full life and you need simple, proven solutions to integrate into your schedule.
Each month, The Network provides an intentional FOCUS and theme in each of our core areas, along with simple action steps you can apply at home.
Each step is strategically selected by our team and takes a progressive approach to rebuilding energy and physical/mental strength, focusing on what we know will get the best results for our members who want to be more active, enjoy food and feel connected to their bodies (and life!).

Lori truly understands …
“I have been a student of Lori’s restorative practice for over 7 years. 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 from Lori 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!!”
- Tanya H, Fibromyalgia
“I like that it combines nutritional information with breathing exercises and restorative yoga. I think that's a good combination. Most autoimmune issues can't be improved with a singular approach. The seated flow was my favourite exercise, and I also enjoyed doing some of the breathing exercises.”
- Monica on her first month inside The Network, Lymphocytic Colitis

3 FOUNDATIONAL COURSES TO HELP IMPROVE INFLAMMATION, ENERGY, DIGESTION & METABOLISM
Our foundational courses are designed to help move your health forward in different ways.
Reality Based Meal Planning For Autoimmune
This progressive course helps you transition to an autoimmune-friendly (and delicious) nutrition plan over 4 to 6 weeks. We have a strong emphasis on what to ADD to your plate using The Autoimmune Nutrition Triad and provide practical resources including easy, delicious recipes (30 minutes or less), meal plans, cooking tutorials and short, intentional workshops (i.e., meal prep).
Autoimmune-Focused Breathwork
Breathwork is a complementary practice recommended by most associations to help improve stress, nervous system response and pain, yet women don't know how to get started or integrate it into their daily routine.
Our introductory course explains the fundamentals of Pause Breathwork for Autoimmune and provides focused sequences you can call on any time of the day - at work or home.
Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga brings the floor up to you, using blankets, pillows and blocks to support your body so you can reach a state of deep relaxation and relief.
We created this series for women who want a better night’s sleep, enhanced mood and reduced pain. It is particularly helpful in the evening when bodies are tired and minds are wired.
Vanessa's approach is very different …
"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 therefore in the past I would jump in 100% with a new eating plan and try to be perfect. However, with Vanessa's approach she got me to start introducing a healthier eating plan very slowly. This helped me to build a better relationship with food. Another big difference for me was that she created a protocol that was flexible to suit my specific needs. The flexibility was very helpful for me, since 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 approach."
- Karin R (Hashimoto’s, RA and Type 2 Diabetes)

Too good to be true?
We created what our clients and communities asked for, applying what we teach in our private practices and providing the accountability and professional you need to make a shift in your health.
Quite simply, there isn’t anything like this for autoimmune in the health industry. It is our mission to remove the financial and emotional strain of trying to figure out your health on your own.
Consider the cost & time spent duct taping resources together:
- Cookbooks gather dust
- Gym, yoga or fitness memberships not targeted to autoimmune
- Meal plans not customized to your schedule, likes, dislikes and no real-life feedback on how to make them work at home
- The monthly cost of working one-on-one with an expert with no support between appointments
- Stress-targeting solutions that don't understand the nuances for women living with chronic, pain, fatigue and digestive disorders
BONUS: If you're done with googling and limited results, use the code BONDWITHHEALTH to receive $20 off your first month.
ADDITIONAL BONUS: If you have a diagnosed rheumatic or arthritic disease, you have the option to participate in a symptoms tracking study, working in a small VIP group scenario with Vanessa as part of a health industry study.​
