Ankylosing Spondylitis
& other autoimmune conditions
Have you recently been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition such as Ankylosing Spondylitis/Axial Spondyloarthritis? I know how you feel.
It can be overwhelming to receive such news.
What does it mean? Where to go from here? Let me guide you.
There are more than 140 different kinds of autoimmune conditions.
1 in 10 people worldwide is diagnosed with an autoimmune condition.
You are not alone.
While genetic predispositions account for 1/3 of the cause, 2/3 are linked to environmental triggers and gut permeability.
This is the field of epigenetics. We are more than our genes. Through our lifestyle and environment design, we can influence the expression of our genes and their functions, and thus support our body’s health and vitality. We can learn to better manage chronic symptoms and prevent them in the first place.
To help you manage your autoimmune condition(s) such as Ankylosing Spondylitis, my functional approach addresses the different lifestyle and environmental factors which may be at the source of your chronic inflammation and leaky gut (risk factors for developing an autoimmune condition).
