Welcome to the Integrative Autoimmune Membership (I.AM Resilient)
A monthly membership for women over 40 who want affordable, professional guidance to help them customize their health plans to address fatigue, metabolism and inflammatory symptoms with autoimmune disease ...
So you can have better control over your body, health and quality of life while living with chronic illness.
The Integrative Autoimmune Membership (I.AM Resilient) addresses nutrient deficiencies, digestion, stress and movement that can worsen fatigue, flares and metabolic markers for health.
We provide a combination of customized and self-study guidance so you have a variety of personalized, evidence-based tools that integrate with your medical plan. This approach helps our members make meaningful and measurable improvements in energy, digestion and inflammatory markers in 3 - 6 months.
“After 2 weeks on the diet, one of my more challenging symptoms decreased immensely. There are many tools you can pick from to move toward increased health.”
Shelly H, Teacher, MS
"The inflammation in my hands has come down, and I have more energy. I don't feel like depriving myself of my favourite foods ... I still go to restaurants with friends and my family loves what I bring to our picnics."

We've been exactly where you are right now.
You're smart and motivated. You're researching options. You're following doctors' orders AND making changes to support yourself. Food. Select supplements. Exercise. Stretching. Sleep. Reducing stress.
And you still have...
Awful fatigue and brain fog
Unpredictable muscle & joint pain and stiffness
Concerning lab work
Increasing metabolic complications
Embarrassing digestive symptoms
Secondary (or sometimes primary) psoriasis or eczema
All of this can take a physical and mental toll, especially if you keep trying different things that work for a few weeks, and then suddenly stop.
Here's what's going on.
Most people with autoimmune disease have multiple diagnoses and symptoms, but are following generic recommendations not designed for their unique situations or bodies.
They're missing a targeted plan that pulls recommendations together in a clear, concise way to address the specific root causes (reasons) for their persistent fatigue, symptoms and flares.
It's all about YOU (the person), not simply a diagnosis.
You see, two people with the same disease often require two completely different nutrition, supplement and lifestyle plans in order to experience meaningful and measurable improvements in energy and inflammatory markers.
One diet, supplement or program does not suit all. Success depends on customization targeted to the root causes for the person. This includes nutrient deficiencies, digestive health, stress, movement, hormonal imbalances and other factors that feed into inflammation and disrupt the immune response. This is no different than two people with the same disease requiring two different medication and treatment plans.
"I haven't felt this good in over a year. The support you and my naturopath are giving me really helps."
Linda, MCTD
“There is a lot of detail, step by step information and a supportive team. Your nutrition plan has really helped my stomach."
Brenda C, Sjogrens, FIbro and RA
This is why we created ...
The Integrative Autoimmune Membership (I.AM Resilient)
The Integrative Autoimmune Membership (I.AM Resilient) is a whole-body support program designed to integrate with your larger health plan.
Our clients typically have multiple diagnoses and need help connecting the dots as to what will help them feel better, so they can stay consistent and motivated at home.
Our focus is on helping you remove your unique triggers for inflammation and flares, and replace them with upgrades that build more predictable energy, resiliency and quality of life for the long term.
Your support team includes professionals specializing in:
- Nutrition Specific for Autoimmune Bodies + Metabolic Health: To create a 3-month custom (and research-backed) nutrition plan to help you quickly improve energy, pain and metabolic health concerns
- Nervous System Support: To tackle the unique challenges women with chronic illness face (energy, sleep, stress) that feed into inflammation and a dysregulated immune system
- Gentle Movement Specific For Autoimmune Challenges (i.e., mobility, low intensity): To ease painful joints, muscles and fatigue, so you can do more of the activities you love on your own time
With our own busy families and with five autoimmune diseases among us (rheumatic disease, MS, Hashimoto's, IBD, psoriasis), we understand the demands you have at home, work and in the community.
This is why we have a very specific Essentials process and personalized support fo consistency in your everyday life.
"You have made such a positive impact on my life that I will be forever grateful for! I just made it through a holiday season without a flare! It's the first New Year I am going into feeling like myself!"
Jenn, RA, TV awards show producer
"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!"
Samantha, Policy Writer, Hashimoto's

Marilyn, PMR (remission)

What sort of results can you expect with a monthly membership program?
Members who apply our methods and stay connected with our coaches can expect (on average) a 50% improvement in energy, digestive symptoms and/or pain in 3 months time, and a 5 to 20 lb weight rebalance.
This means going back to the doctor with good news and progress. Here's what that looks like.
Month One:
- You'll have your private onboarding health intake so we can create your customized plan to address nutrient deficiencies, digestive health and lifestyle influences, which worsen inflammation in joints, muscles, digestion and brain fog.
- GAPS in your previous habits/eating plans will be identified and you'll start to implement our Reality-Based Meal and Lifestyle Planning Method.
- Sleep and digestive symptoms start to improve.
Month Two:
- You'll have some tried-and-true meal ideas that focus on increasing nutrient density (not simply removing foods), plus all the recipes and cooking tutorials you could possibly want or need specific to your plan. You'll have easy options you can throw together for you and your household, so you don't have to open the fridge at 5 and wonder what to eat.
- You'll notice energy improving along with less inflammation in your joints and body.
Month Three:
- You'll start to identify specific triggers or habits (food and digestive) that increase flares or discomfort, while you continue to work on digestive health which improves how your body responds to food and the environment around you.
- You'll also have a few, effective (and short) morning and evening routines in place, and noticeable improvements in joints and/or muscle pain
Months Three And Onward:
- If you decide to stay longer, we continue to provide feedback and customization, based on your health goals and lab work and create a longer term maintenance plan. This is where we see the most benefits to metabolic health and inflammatory markers, long term.
- There are challenges, group movement classes and new materials every month ... It's a community of wonderful, motivate women who lift each other up!
And you can cancel anytime, whenever you're ready. In fact, we celebrate this as it means you're ready to fly!

"This program saved my life! I feel it’s because of this knowledge I was given that helped push me in to remission earlier than my doctor predicted. With this knowledge, going forward I hope to stave off future occurrences. Thank you so much to Vanessa and her Team of fantastic people!"
Marilyn, PMR

"Three years ago, I couldn't get up off the floor without the help of my husband. Now, I'm able to go to fitness classes for fun, not because I "have to."
Cammy, Founding Member, Fibro & Uveitis
--
"I love what you're doing and how you truly personalize care to what is doable for each person's real life! I've never experienced such patient, well considered, and truly effective care before. Your knowledge is extensive and worth a lot, but your care and integrity are incredible. It's worth every penny, and more."
Lynae, Thyroiditis, Suspected Endometriosis
--
"I appreciate how Vanessa makes herself available to help me make a plan to meet my goals ... It felt good knowing that Vanessa, Kristen and Lori were speaking from experience and know how difficult life can be living with an autoimmune disease. At the same time, they are all an example of how we can feel better and live our lives more comfortably."
Dina, Psoriatic Spondylitis, Psoriasis, Raynaud's

Anita, Hashimoto’s and Type 1 Diabetes
--
"I came into this program to focus on AIP and Vanessa really helped me to understand that food is not my biggest issue; it's how I handle stress. Kristin & Lori helped me to listen to my body again when doing yoga so that I don't push too far. And Kristin's voice was so soothing that I actually fell asleep listening to her guided meditation."
Sarah, Sjogren's, Fibromyalgia, IBS, Thyroid Nodules
--
“I like that it combines nutritional information with breathing exercises and restorative yoga. I think that's a good combination because most autoimmune issues can't be improved with a singular approach. The seated flows are my favourite exercise, and I also enjoyed doing some of the breathing exercises.”
ML, Colitis
--
“The breathwork and yoga have helped calm my nervous system. Practicing the breathwork, even a few minutes while stressed during the day helps”
Lucy, Business Owner, Oral Lichen Planus
--
“I wanted to add a yoga practice into my daily life, but I wasn't able to do 'normal' yoga because of my mobility restrictions.”
Karin, Busy Mom and Artist, RA, Hashimoto’s, Type 2 Diabetes

Cammy, Working Mom, Fibromyalgia, Uveitis

"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

Too good to be true?
A personal note ...
In 2021, our communities and clients told us (loud and clear) they want affordable, high quality, monthly guidance & support with trusted professionals because autoimmune is a lifelong relationship ... it's not "fixed" with a recipe, cookbook, supplement, video or AI.
They are busy, want to keep working and being active, while also reducing their risks for additional disease and complications ... 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 community with this level of full-body 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 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 our free trial program and our "cancel anytime" policy.
So, if you're ready to make yourself a priority and take back control over your body and health, we invite you to join us. It is our honour to support you.
