Autoimmune Disease and Essential Nutrients

What are essential nutrients?

The food we eat gives us the nutrients we require for our bodies, and increasingly food companies are publishing claims on their packages and products, encouraging us to buy their products because of the nutrients they contain.

What do we need though?

Studies have shown that key nutrients such as probiotics, fish oil (omega 3), and vitamins C and D can positively affect your immune response with dealing with chronic illness.

Do you take supplements?

Do you find them beneficial?

Our diet is a powerful tool in our fight against autoimmune diseases, and yet it is rarely spoken about when you are first diagnosed.

The food we eat can increase or reduce inflammation. Reducing inflammation helps us heal! Supplements can help us further.

I wish I had made the change earlier. Today I help others make the changes. If you are interested in learning more, then please use the contact form below.

I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
