Know your triggers

Autoimmunity can be tricky and can manifest in many different ways even if 2 people are diagnosed with the same condition. While the cause is still being under investigation we know that there are many triggers that can make you feel worse. These include:

  • stress (bad relationships, hate your job etc )
  • sleep deprivation
  • an inflamed sick gut & eating trigger foods
  • drinking alcohol & caffeine
  • excess or strenuous exercise  
  • being sedentary
  • exposure to pathogens (viruses, bacteria )
  • exposure to chemicals, toxins and mould (think environment, your home, personal care and cleaning products, furniture etc)
  • certain medications
  • certain genetics

Following the right autoimmune disease diet and personalise lifestyle approach can make you symptoms free and help you stay in remission

Anca was instrumental in uncovering my underperforming and sluggish metabolism as Hashimotos disease. She developed a manageable eating plan as well as lifestyle suggestions and options to consider. I now have a very good understanding of how to manage my condition thanks to Anca. I would recommend her services.

Anca is an extremely knowledgeable and respectful health professional. She was able to adjust all treatment plans to suit my eating preferences. Anca has a view to supporting the whole person and her advice has enabled me to live an active and comfortable lifestyle, despite having a chronic inflammatory disease. Well worth the expense. Thank you Anca.
