Many dietitians are finding that their caseload of clients with autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto’s, RA, Lupus, IBD, etc.) is growing fast. Practitioners are stuck between wanting to help, but feeling like they have few options to choose from or don’t know where to turn for quality information.

Here’s the hard truth: The standard “anti-inflammatory diet” advice is insufficient. Yet, there is so much more that nutrition can do for autoimmune diseases beyond the anti-inflammatory diet. This webinar will upgrade your toolkit with the latest evidence-based practices for autoimmune nutrition.

After this training, participants will be able to:

• Apply evidence-based research findings to identify nutrition concerns and implement appropriate initial medical nutrition therapy (MNT) interventions for clients with autoimmune disease.
• Demonstrate counseling strategies that guide clients with autoimmune disease through initial nutrition-focused steps to support improved health outcomes.
• Explain emerging perspectives and evolving definitions of autoimmune disease and discuss how these shifts may influence nutrition assessment and intervention approaches.

Critical topics that your autoimmune clients need your guidance on:

• Common nutrient deficiencies that are exacerbating their symptoms, & even increasing mortality rates.
• The realities of attempting autoimmune strict diets, including additional serious health concerns that can arise from following these diets.
• The growing connection between autoimmune diseases & eating disorders, plus how to avoid triggering an existing or new onset eating disorder.
