That is the million dollar question when:
- Every body system plays a part in autoimmune from digestion, hormones, adrenals, nervous system
- There is so much misguided information & non-evidence backed opinions it can be overwhelming
- Research is 3 full-time jobs…Every day there is new research on autoimmune, with more than 240, 000 articles on PubMed, in 2021 alone.
- Dr. Google is self-prescribing FAD diets that muddy the waters of offering effective treatment plans
And your patients:
How do you, as a practitioner stay on top of it all?
Diagnosing and treating autoimmune disease is challenging.
Your window of opportunity is short
- Many autoimmune patients are frustrated with the conventional medical system. Their trust has been broken, leaving practitioners with a very limited opportunity to make an effective impression
-
As clinicians we have 1-2 visits to make an impression and build trust and confidence. You need a framework, a long-term strategy and an understanding of the latest research.
Patient education on the ‘right’ information is tedious
- Your patients are overwhelmed by the amount of information out there. From podcasts to Youtube to social media, they are flooded with questionable, dicy and often misleading information!
-
It’s your responsibility to decipher and educate your patients on what has the quality evidence to create a strategy that fits their needs. And let's be honest, this takes time.
Your treatment toolbox may be outdated
- Your autoimmune patients are already attempting the basics. If you’re relying on the elimination diet and vitamin D for your go-to plan then your patients will be disappointed. They are looking for advanced care and are turning to you for a strategy and framework.
A one size fits all approach doesn’t work
- Are you using the same herbs, vitamins and diet to treat each autoimmune condition? Should we be running fancy functional medicine testing on everyone?
-
There are over 150 different autoimmune conditions identified. The pathophysiology behind each one is slightly different, we can’t use the same approach for Rheumatoid Arthritis as Lupus or Sjorgens and expect the same results.
With the right infrastructure, confidence and up-to-date knowledge, you can be the trusted primary provider and support your patients more effectively.
INTRODUCING: DR ALISON DANBY, NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR,AUTOIMMUNE EXPERT CLINICIAN
INTRODUCING:
DR ALISON DANBY, NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR,AUTOIMMUNE EXPERT CLINICIAN
I know firsthand how challenging treating autoimmune can be.
From pre-diagnosis to managing a flare and preventing other co-morbidities, I have sat on both sides of the desk- both as an autoimmune patient and as a clinician working with autoimmune patients.
After going through my own autoimmune journey,
It wasn’t until I started to dive into the evidence-backed research myself, to see what was actually possible for my patients that my practice started to shift.
I was able to have higher-level conversations, map out their journey and manage their expectations.
I built better and stronger relationship with them to navigate the medical system with less frustration and have my patients full trust, despite their not-so-linear healing journey.
My goal is to change the way our patients experience autoimmune healthcare.
I want to take the frustration and overwhelm out of this journey for practitioners. We have such an incredible opportunity to provide faster diagnosis, better evidence-based care, collaborative healthcare and be a life long partner to our clients who are struggling with the complex puzzle of autoimmunity…Are you ready to take that step?

Introducing the Autoimmune Course I wish I had access to 10 years ago…
Autoimmune 101 Workshop
Evidence-Based Approach to Rheumatic Autoimmune Conditions
This 1-day workshop is designed to reinstill your confidence in supporting your autoimmune patients through the entirety of process
From the identification of their first symptoms to successfully managing their condition to preventing and mitigating co-morbidities, building that confidence will open so many doors for you and your patients.
Autoimmune impacts every body system and for many clinicians knowing where to start and how to avoid interactions/flares is the hardest part.
As clinicians we know the importance of collaborative care to ensure our patients are getting the best support possible. Not only will we be walking through how we can achieve this easily for you but also diving into the science and evidence around supplements and nutrition to support one of the biggest obstacles a patient may face from day on- fatigue and inflammation
I am determined to change autoimmune healthcare and I can’t do this alone. Our patients need us now more than ever.
Imagine having:
- Patient resources at your fingertips and
- Plug and Play EMR templates to reduce your charting time
- Done for you letters for you to use for collaborative care.
Imagine your patient leaving their appointment with a strategic treatment plan in place that has been proven to work.
