Autoimmune Disease is a complex condition where the immune system attacks the body's cells. Nutrition plays a key role in managing these disorders. With over 80 different autoimmune diseases, each with unique nutritional considerations, personalized guidance from a professional dietitian is crucial.
Recognizing the signs and symptoms of autoimmune diseases is the first step toward healing. Nutrition-focused care can alleviate common symptoms, including:
Fatigue
Joint pain and swelling
Skin rashes
Digestive issues
Fever
Understanding these symptoms and working with a Berry Street dietitian can transform your life.
Your Autoimmune Disease dietitian or nutritionist will identify if triggers like nightshades affect your symptoms. We utilize Medical Nutrition Therapy to introduce anti-inflammatory phytonutrients and Omega-3s, addressing the root cause of flares through personalized meal planning and insurance-covered nutrition.
What People Are Saying About Our Dietitians
Jennifer (Autoimmune)
I meet regularly with a fantastic dietician to review progress toward my goals which include losing weight and keeping my symptoms from autoimmune thyroid disease under control. I love that I have someone to give me options for meals that I enjoy and move me in the right direction at the same time. So glad I saw and responded to the Berry Street ad. My insurance covers it and it’s helping me to improve my health and decrease future medical expenses. Amazing!
Amy Gregory
It was easy to make an appointment, and they take my insurance and I don't even have a copay. I got matched quickly with a Dietician that could meet me on my crazy schedule. Within minutes of talking to Jennifer Hunt RD, I knew she was the perfect person to help me on my weight loss and path to a healthy life. We discussed everything from diet and exercise and even other health issues that make loosing weight and keeping it off more challenging. I also have Lupus, which is an autoimmune disease that causes swelling, inflammation, and pain in my joints. Jennifer and I have talked about foods to avoid and natural foods to help decrease inflammation. I look forward to our meetings every other week to see what new ideas she has and to share my accomplishments.
