About the symposium
Beyond test results: a 360° look at living well with autoimmunity.
If you’ve ever left an appointment with more questions than answers, you’re not alone. Autoimmune conditions are complex—and most visits don’t leave enough time to cover everyday life, food, sleep, movement, stress, and flare management.
Autoimmune: Beyond Diagnosis is designed for individuals and caregivers who want clear, compassionate, and practical guidance they can start using right away—no medical degree required.
You’ll walk away with:
- A clearer understanding of how autoimmune conditions actually behave in real life—not just in lab reports.
- Foundational lifestyle shifts that support energy, digestion, mood, and resilience.
- Questions to bring to your care team so your next appointment is more productive.
- Ways to track symptoms and patterns without obsessing over every data point.
- Simple frameworks to evaluate conflicting online advice with more confidence.
Who will be there: board-certified rheumatologists and neurologists, functional and integrative practitioners, registered dietitians, mental health professionals, movement specialists, and patients who’ve walked this path.
Is this for you?
Designed for real people living with autoimmune conditions.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed or years into your journey, you’ll find jargon-free sessions focused on what you can actually do between appointments.
Individuals with autoimmune diagnoses
For people managing conditions like Hashimoto’s, RA, lupus, MS, celiac, IBD, psoriasis, and more—at any stage of the journey.
Concerned but undiagnosed individuals
If you’re experiencing unexplained symptoms, family history, or “normal” labs that don’t match how you feel, learn what to track and how to advocate for yourself.
Caregivers & supporters
For partners, parents, and friends who want to understand what your loved one is going through—and how to truly help beyond “Let me know if you need anything.”
Sessions & topics
Practical tools for daily autoimmune living.
Every session ends with 2–3 concrete actions you can try in the next week, plus guidance on how to adapt them to your unique situation.
Immune basics without the jargon
Understand what “autoimmune” actually means, why flare-ups happen, and how inflammation connects to fatigue, pain, gut issues, and brain fog.
- Key lab markers explained in plain language
- What “remission” can realistically look like
- How to spot early signs of a brewing flare
Food, energy, and blood sugar balance
No extreme detoxes or one-size-fits-all protocols. Learn evidence-informed nutrition principles to stabilize energy and support immune balance.
- Gentle approaches to elimination and reintroduction
- Building satisfying, anti-inflammatory plates
- How to eat when you’re exhausted or nauseated
Movement, rest, and nervous system care
Learn how to move your body without overdoing it, protect sleep, and support your nervous system when life doesn’t slow down.
- Flare-friendly movement options
- Sleep rituals that respect your reality
- Micro-practices for stress and pain spikes
You’ll also hear patient stories, expert Q&A, and a closing session on building a sustainable, personalized plan—without perfectionism.

How much does it cost to attend?
The symposium is completely free to attend. Your registration includes live access to all sessions during the event, limited-time access to replays, and downloadable resources like checklists, templates, and guides. There are no surprise upsells required to access the educational content.
What if I can’t join live or can only attend part of the event?
You’ll receive replay access to all core sessions for a limited time after the event, so you can watch (or rewatch) at your own pace. You’ll also receive summaries and key takeaways, making it easy to catch up even if your energy, work, or caregiving schedule is unpredictable.
