learn to thrive with autoimmune disease

understanding the fundamentals of inflammation is key to managing autoimmunity

I suffered with autoimmunity for years, namely Ankylosing Spondylitis and IBD. Driven by the harsh reality of walking with a cane, I put my engineering brain to work and sought to understand the laws that govern inflammation.

My goal is to demystify these concepts and arm you with tools that can help you become the dictator of your own health.
