What is an autoimmune disease?
Your immune system is designed to protect your body’s healthy cell tissues by attacking any viruses, pathogens, bacteria, or diseases that enter your body.

My approach to dealing with an autoimmune disease
As a Nutritionist and Nutritional Therapist, when working with patients in my clinic in Mayfair, London, and online, I take a holistic approach. Rather than suppressing the symptoms, I work on finding the root cause of an autoimmune disease and restoring the balance using diet, supplements and lifestyle.
