About Us
What is The Autoimmune Nutritionist?
'The Autoimmune Nutritionist' was born in 2018 with the mission to empower people to to take control of their health and live amazing lives. We publish educational articles, provide consultation and connect people with resources aimed to help heal hormones and reverse autoimmunity naturally with gut healing, selective supplementation, non-toxic products, mindfulness, low inflammation diets, and easy AIP recipes.
In 2020 'The Autoimmune Nutritionist Supplement Store' was created to take the guesswork out of which supplements are helpful for those with autoimmunity and hormonal imbalance. Many supplements can cause a flare in symptoms for those with autoimmunity as they contain ingredients that stimulate the immune system.
Our carefully stocked store specializes in professional grade supplements that do not contain any of these immune-stimulating herbs and compounds, and are gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free. The selection is also fantastic for people without autoimmune disease who just want the peace of mind that their supplements are of the best quality and allergen-free.
We here at The Autoimmune Nutritionist believe that one size definitely does not fit all when it comes to healing. Individualized health coaching is essential to identify underlying causes of hormonal imbalance and autoimmunity such as food intolerances, infections, gut imbalances, etc. However, there are things we all need to do to truly heal, one of the largest being reducing our daily toxic load. The body will never fully heal if it is exposed to unnecessary toxins and chemicals every single day.
The content you will find here is aimed to empower you to take charge of your healing by educating, and connecting you to the resources you need to thrive.
Who is the Autoimmune Nutritionist?
Hi there! I'm Chelsea, founder, lead nutritionist, and hostess over here at 'The Autoimmune Nutritionist.' I am a Registered Nutritionist, Certified Autoimmune Paleo Coach, Registered Yoga Teacher, and Certified Pilates Instructor who is passionate about helping others achieve health and wellness by healing their hormones and reversing autoimmunity naturally. I write about gut healing, selective supplementation, non-toxic products, mindfulness, low inflammation diets, and easy AIP recipes. I also provide nutritional and lifestyle consulting services to highly motivated clients.
I am originally Canadian and currently living my best life in Nassau, Bahamas with my husband Derek, our two cats Billy and Hughie, and soon to be baby boy. I blog about gut healing, selective supplementation, non-toxic products, mindfulness, low inflammation diets, easy AIP recipes, and my personal experience with hormonal imbalance, autoimmunity, and Lyme disease in hopes of helping others on their health journeys to thrive and live amazing lives.
I can honestly say that just a couple of years ago, I never thought I would be where I am today. I hit rock bottom with my health and thought my life was over. If you would like to know more about my health journey, head over here.
One of the most empowering moments for me was during my AIP coach certification when I learned that the majority of the causes of hormonal imbalance and autoimmunity are environmental triggers, i.e., gut health, toxins, lifestyle, and diet. 75% of the causes of autoimmunity are within our control!
As I learned on my personal health journey as well as through my education, there is so much that can be done to reverse hormonal imbalance and to put autoimmunity into remission. I have seen it first hand with countless clients, and I am also living proof! I can't wait to share everything I've learned with you so you can take control of your health and live the life you truly want to live.
