The Truth Behind Autoimmunity

What does Health mean to you?

What does autoimmune disease mean to you?

Did you know that our health is represented in different forms such as chemical, physical, and emotional, and it is imperative to address these to achieve optimal health simultaneously?

The modern medicine model often ignores our ‘health’. It treats the symptoms and doesn’t often look at what the cause or the trigger is.

Have you heard of Functional medicine? This closes these gaps and directs patients to achieve and sustain wellness truly.

This is especially apparent with autoimmune diseases. Many of these diseases have been written off as something beyond our control, even though research supports that most of these complications result from lifestyle choices. These findings have completely flipped the perspective of those suffering from helpless to empowered to take on the fight against autoimmunity.

I’m a trained Health Coach who has autoimmune diseases and specialises in helping people with autoimmune diseases. I was once on lifetime medication, and with some changes to my lifestyle, my health became optimum again. I am off my medication. I still have days when I have flares, but I know what triggers them, and those days are less, and I feel fantastic. I have learnt to listen to my body and its needs, and I have a fantastic Doctor who supported me in the changes I made. I love being a Health Coach and supporting people like you to live an optimum healthy lifestyle with an autoimmune disease.

I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!

Facebook Support Group

A Facebook group set up to support those living with Autoimmune Diseases or are living gluten-free, dairy-free life.

Emma Alexander-Cook

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
