Autoimmune Action Programme Overview
In this program, we will focus on six key areas:
Getting to know your condition. To begin, you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire that outlines your health journey so far, so I can better understand your condition and health history. (This is a Functional Nutrition Assessment)
Understanding your triggers. I will use your questionnaire to put together your Functional Timeline and Functional Matrix, which we will go over in the first session. These will outline your health history and highlight the triggers that are intensifying your symptoms. (This is a Functional Nutrition Assessment)
Starting your journey. Over five session you will be introduce to the Autoimmune Paleo Protocol. This elimination diet is designed to remove potential triggers from your diet and reduce inflammation. In addition to this, we will introduce nutrient dense foods and small lifestyle changes that are designed to improve your quality of life. In each session, we will introduce a new element of the Protocol to ease you into a more sustainable and healthy way of life.
Helping you along the way. You will be sent e-books and tools each week to educate and help you understand your body, symptoms and the Autoimmune Protocol. Those who do this as a programme will also receive a personalised Action Form. There is an app “Better” where you can track your food and symptoms which I can pop-in read in between your sessions and give you hints and tips if needed along the way. You also have access for questions along the way via the “chat” option in Practice Better.
Testing the process. By Week 5 your symptoms should be easing, so it’s your challenge to keep going! I let you work on your own for 30 days to see if the changes we’ve made are making a difference.
Making a long-term goal. The final session will look at your progress and assess whether the dietary and lifestyle adjustments are working for you and set you up for the reintroduction phase so you can truly personalise the best way to nourish YOUR body . If your body hasn’t responded as expected we will dive into next steps and testing.
