Autoimmune diseases are on the rise and it's concerning. We are often told that it's

all in our genetics and that nutrition and lifestyle play no part!? It's fair to say that autoimmune disease is complex and often takes hold due to a multitude of factors. It is also fair to say that autoimmunity can't be 'cured' but there is plenty of evidence to show that nutrition and lifestyle factors may play a large role in disease development, progression, and symptom management! It is also possible in some cases to achieve remission of autoimmune disease- although it's important to keep in mind that remission does not mean cure and future flare-ups are possible.
