My love affair with Cinnamon
Cinnamon has been valued for centuries for its medicinal properties, and research shows it can be effective in reducing high blood pressure, regulating glucose levels, reducing inflammation, and improving cognition.
Autoimmune Thyroid Disease and AIP
Autoimmune Thyroid Disease is the most common cause of thyroid dysfunction in Australia, affecting around 10-15% of the population. The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) is used to identify dietary triggers, reduce inflammation, and improve thyroid symptoms.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease and AIP
The Autoimmune Protocol has been shown to be an effective adjunct to medical treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. While autoimmune diseases such as UC and Crohn's cannot be cured; the right diet and lifestyle management can help to improve symptoms, reduce the severity of IBD flares and maintain longer periods of remission.
Diagnosing Autoimmune Disease
Not all Autoimmune Diseases cause symptoms immediately. It is possible to live with an AID for many years before symptoms become apparent or before an incident occurs that leads to an AID diagnosis.
Reducing Inflammation In Autoimmune Disease
Inflammation can be both the cause of a health condition or else it may be a symptom, but either way, reducing inflammation is crucial to managing and overcoming chronic illness.
The Gut Microbiome and Autoimmune Disease
Research shows that the digestive condition known as leaky gut (or intestinal permeability) is a common factor in the biological mechanism that leads to the onset of autoimmune disease.
Healing Autoimmune Disease Naturally
The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) is a comprehensive program which focuses on diet and lifestyle factors known to be important modulators of immune function. Healing is supported by the removal of inflammatory stimuli to reduce the chronic inflammation that causes tissue damage.
