How Your Gut Microbiome Drives Inflammation in Autoimmune Disease.
Your gut microbiome shapes your immune system. Research has found gut dysbiosis, an imbalance in your gut bacteria, is a common link across most autoimmune conditions.

Autoimmune Thyroid Disease, AIP and the Gut Microbiome
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.
Is IBD Autoimmune or Driven by the Gut Microbiome?
The gut microbiome is one of the most studied areas in IBD research. People with IBD tend to have lower diversity, fewer butyrate producers and more inflammatory species.
Leaky Gut, Autoimmune Disease and The Gut Microbiome Connection
Leaky gut, aka intestinal permeability is a common factor in the biological mechanism that leads to the onset of autoimmune disease. Modulating the gut microbiome can restore gut integrity and improve immune function.
Gut Microbiome and Multiple Sclerosis
Incorporating microbiome analysis into clinical practice could contribute to more personalised management of MS.
How to Manage Reflux Naturally
Reflux, or Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a chronic condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the oesophagus, leading to mucosal damage and symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation of food or acid, chest pain, chronic cough, difficulty swallowing and dental erosion.
Gut dysbiosis contributes to both reflux and GORD symptoms. Using Microbiome testing to identify the cause, and natural therapies to alleviate symptoms, is the key to managing reflux and protecting the gut microbiome.
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.
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.
