It’s world arthritis day, a day to raise awarene

It’s world arthritis day, a day to raise awareness of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. This is of course warm to my heart as someone with the diagnosis- Ankylosing Spondylitis which is an autoimmune form of arthritis.

To manage the symptoms, anti-inflammatories, steroids and immunosuppressant drugs are offered but these can of course come with unpleasant side effects like stomach irritation and a leaky gut, which is one of the factors needed for autoimmune disease to happen in the first place. Leaky gut is not a condition on its own, it’s a symptom of the root causes of illness which can include antibiotic use, stress, food intolerances and sensitivities, gut infections and an imbalanced gut microbiome.

Dr Dominik Nischwitz on amalgams. Following up on my post the other day about dental health being a part of the autoimmune puzzle. I’m sharing a snippet from my interview with biological dentist, @drdome1 If you would like a link to the full summit, please comment yes below. #dentalhealth #autoimmune #autoimmunedisease #nutrition #invisibleillness #inflammation

Why do I suddenly post about fashion?
Well, you guys may have noticed I like colourful things :) I used to be a photographer and this is a from a shoot with the lovely and inspiring artist @suekreitzman and this is her motto. It translates pretty well to food too and is something I often preach about - eating a rainbow of colours every day. My own diet definitely used to be on the beige side but having been diagnosed with autoimmune disease I eventually started learning about nutrition, realising what an enormous effect diet can have on your disease progression and if your diet stays beige, so do you. Different coloured vegetables contain different phytonutrients which all have different beneficial effects on our bodies. A big variety of plant fibre is also important for our gut microbiomes.

This is a piece of the puzzle often forgotten abou

This is a piece of the puzzle often forgotten about or ignored. Even by myself. I had a couple of root canals done around 6 or 7 years ago, before I understood their potential problems. Only this year did I get a proper cone beam scan done of my teeth, revealing inflammation, adding to the total inflammatory load in my body.

Oral bacteria spreading through the body have been associated with a number of systemic diseases.
Autoimmune disease as well as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and dementia are all directly connected to poor oral health. When working on improving ones gut health, it’s important to consider dental health because of its downstream effect. Oral bacteria can translocate to the gut and change its microbiota and immune defense, so a ‘leaky gum’ can cause a ‘leaky gut’.

Also, unrelated to the gut,
A gingivitis infection (gum disease) can, in some people, turn on a process called citrullination. The bacteria changes the protein structure of arginine in the body’s tissue, converting it to citrulline.

This new protein is foreign to the body and can therefore trigger an antibody response to it - a process found to express in joint cartilage and can be one of the mechanisms for Rheumatoid Arthritis. Then there is the issue with Mercury which is a incredibly toxic, but more about that another day. #autoimmune #autoimmunedisease #chronicillness #chronicpain #dentalhealth #dentalcare #oralcare #oralhealth #nutritionaltherapy #glutenfree #paleo #functionalmedicine #guthealth #healthissues #healing #rootcause #hashimoto #ankylosingspondylitis #rheumatoidarthritis #ms #multiplesclerosis #leakygut #chronicfatigue #fatigue

As I had a dead tooth pulled out today (infected root canal) and a new ceramic implant put in, I have to be careful with what I eat so I thought I’ll make soup for dinner. Ok it’s not free of chewing but still pretty soft and easy to chew on the better side of my mouth. I freestyled a bit but it ended up delicious. As a base, onion, garlic, celery, butternut squash and carrots, cook for 10 min and add chicken stock, chicken and thyme. Whilst that was cooking I blended a yellow zucchini, lemon, cashews and coconut milk (inspired by yesterday’s cake recipe) and poured in at the end together with parsley. Creamy and delicious! #nutrientdense #autoimmune #autoimmunesupport #autoimmunedisease #invisibleillness #chronicpain #chronicillness #ankylosingspondylitis #rheumatoidarthritis #functionalmedicine #guthealth #antiinflammatorydiet #dentalhealth #oralhealth #inflammation

Some gluten free inspiration for you today. A weird but very tasty kind of bolognese. Although it is actually the leftover from a Shakshouka I made yesterday (that tomato & egg dish which is kind of trendy on Instagram at the moment). I added olives and konjac noodles.

I think I heard Mark Hyman say this and it is some

I think I heard Mark Hyman say this and it is something which I think is really important to understand. You may have a diagnosis for a certain condition but what was it that led you there? When did you last feel really well? What happened in your life just before you started having symptoms? Did you suffer from certain symptoms already as a child? Did you have any viruses? How many times have you taken antibiotics? Did you ever live in a house that smelled a bit musty? Do you have amalgam fillings? Have you ever had a stomach upset after foreign travel? Are exposed to chemicals through work or hobbies? Is your workload bigger than you can manage?

These are just some of the questions I ask my clients when we first meet, to help me understand what to investigate further and where to look deeper. A diagnosis is of course helpful. It helps me understand your symptoms and it gives me clues of where to look but your root causes may be different to somebody else’s root causes, even though you have the same diagnosis. We need to look at your gut health, your ability to detox, your ability to make energy, your genetic ability to bind and circulate vitamin D, do you have nutrient deficiencies? and the most important question of all is WHY? By taking a detailed case history and with the help of diagnostic testing, we can start to understand all of this and when starting to support the body and giving it what it needs at the same time as removing what is harming it, we start seeing positive results and symptoms start to disappear.
