"I knew I needed more than just medication. I had tried some dietary changes on my own, as well as tried low FODMAP with help of a dietician. None helped much. I like that the Network includes not only nutrition advise, but also yoga and breathwork, and that it is affordable."
Monika, Lymphocytic Colitis
"I want to learn how to work with things that are within my control to help support my health and not exacerbate my autoimmune disease. I want to better understand how foods play a role in my health and how I can control my stress response. I haven’t been able to move due to the fatigue experienced from my condition."
Amber, Hashimoto's, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
This is why we created ...
The Integrative Autoimmune Network & Our Free Jumpstart Program!
We are the most comprehensive online monthly membership for women warriors who are ready for wisdom and simple steps to improve fatigue, painful joints and muscles, and digestion while living with autoimmune.
Your support team includes several autoimmune specialists in the areas of nutrition and mind-body therapies with five autoimmune among us (rheumatic disease, MS, Hashimoto's, IBD, psoriasis).
We've walked in corporate stilettos, are raising families of our own, and understand the demands you have at home, work and in the community.
Making yourself a priority isn't always easy, but we know from experience, it is always worth it!
You have one body and one life ... Make the most of it.

"To grow I need coaching. How can I help myself without the wisdom of those smarter than me? Perfection gets in the way of healing for me. If I can't do it well, I just don't at all. When I learned about this, I had to join. I feel blessed and I look forward to trying new things. I have already learned so much."
Julie S, Autoimmune Thyroiditis
"I was attracted to this membership because it focused on nutrition and using yoga and breath work to help the body relax so it can heal. I hadn't seen anything like it. It was the first program I've found that didn't cost thousands of dollars and wasn't selling their own line of supplements. The fact that the three of you would do this to help people and make it affordable meant the world to me."
Lucy, Lichen Planus

Everything we recommend is designed to INTEGRATE with your larger health plan, not replace it.
What sort of results can you expect in working with our team?
Like you, our members have a combination of complicated diagnoses or symptoms: rheumatic, arthritic, neuromuscular, IBD, thyroid, insulin resistance or others.
Members can expect a 50%+ improvement in energy, inflammation and digestive symptoms in 3 months time, and a 5 to 20 lb weight rebalance.
While you have access to everything, we recommend you work on ONE aspect of our membership at a time so you can measure and learn what works best for you.
This is our Reality-Based Method to creating meaningful changes:
- More energy and time for friends, family and the activities you love
- More patience and better mood for your kids, partner and coworkers
- More confidence in your body and ability to better control your disease
- Going to your doctor with GOOD news, not complaints!

Linda, MCTD

"Got labs back today and things are better than ever! I'm sure a big part of this is because I've been following all of your brilliant guidance ... Thyroid is better than it's bee in a year and kidneys are happier probably because of all the hydration, good iron and B12!"

Too good to be true?
A personal note ...
In 2021, our communities and clients told us (loud and clear) they want affordable, monthly guidance & support with vetted professionals because autoimmune is a lifelong relationship and they need support year-round.
They are busy, want to keep working and want to reduce their risks for metabolic disease + additional diagnoses ... something that is common with autoimmune, that no one talks about until it's too late.
So in 2022, we created what they asked for and quite frankly, there isn’t anything like this for autoimmune with this level of expertise, personalization and support, which is why a growing body of doctors & health professionals recommend our membership to their patients and clients.
It is our personal mission to remove the physical, emotional and financial strains of autoimmune, so you feel empowered in your health and your ability to work with your body, no matter what life throws at you.
We are committed to supporting YOU ... the person ... Which is why we offer The Jumpstart free trial and our "cancel anytime" policy.
