    How to Support IBS and IBD Remission: 5 Key Strategies from Dane Johnson

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Autoimmune RESET Podcast, I’m joined once again by Dane Johnson, founder of Crohn’s Colitis Lifestyle, to explore what it really takes to move beyond symptom management and create long-term remission. After nearly losing his life to Crohn’s and colitis complications, Dane rebuilt his health and has now been medication-free and in remission for over 10 years. Today, he helps others understand the deeper factors that may be driving chronic inflammation. We discuss why medication can be an important tool, but why supporting the foundations of health is key — including digestion, the gut microbiome, the intestinal barrier, nervous system regulation and detoxification pathways. We also explore hidden triggers that may keep the immune system activated, including infections, mould exposure, toxins and chronic stress, as well as why creating a healthier home environment can support recovery. In this episode we cover: • The five areas Dane believes are essential for staying in remission • Why gut health influences autoimmune conditions beyond IBD • How stress and the nervous system impact healing • The importance of tracking your own symptoms and becoming the “CEO” of your health • Simple daily strategies to support resilience and long-term wellbeing Whether you are living with Crohn’s, colitis, IBS, alopecia, Hashimoto’s or another autoimmune condition, this conversation will help you understand the bigger picture behind immune health and rebuilding balance.

    Rheumatoid Arthritis: Symptoms, Root Causes & Natural Therapies (2026 Update)

    Send us Fan Mail Rheumatoid arthritis is often thought of as a condition that only affects the joints, but emerging research suggests the story begins much earlier and extends far beyond them. In this episode of The Autoimmune RESET, registered nutritionist VJ Hamilton explores the latest evidence surrounding rheumatoid arthritis, including the fascinating links between the gut microbiome, intestinal barrier, oral health and immune regulation. You'll learn why researchers now believe that immune dysfunction may begin at mucosal surfaces such as the gut and mouth years before joint symptoms develop, and how factors including microbial diversity, nutrition, sleep and stress can influence immune resilience. VJ explains the science in an accessible and practical way, covering the role of key bacteria such as Prevotella copri and Akkermansia muciniphila, why butyrate-producing bacteria are so important, and how oral bacteria may contribute to immune activation. She also discusses the gut-joint axis, why stool testing has become such a valuable tool in personalised nutrition, and the simple lifestyle changes that can support your immune system alongside conventional medical care. Whether you've recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, are supporting someone who has, or simply want to better understand autoimmune disease, this episode offers practical, evidence-based insights to help you look beyond symptom management and towards supporting the root causes of immune dysfunction.

    Friday 5 - My Favourite Gluten-Free Swaps That Actually Taste Good

    Send us Fan Mail Removing gluten can feel overwhelming at first, particularly when so much of our food culture revolves around bread, pasta, cereals, and convenience foods. Yet one of the biggest lessons I've learnt after more than a decade of being gluten-free is that success isn't about finding perfect gluten-free replacements for everything you used to eat. It's about discovering new foods that you genuinely enjoy. In this episode, I share five of my favourite gluten-free swaps that I use regularly in my own kitchen and recommend to clients. From courgetti and buckwheat to quinoa porridge and tamari, these simple alternatives can help you build a more varied, nutrient-dense diet without feeling restricted or deprived. We also explore why some people don't tolerate oats as well as expected, where hidden sources of gluten can sneak into your diet, and why focusing on what you can add often makes dietary changes far more sustainable than focusing on what you're removing. Whether you're newly gluten-free, supporting an autoimmune condition, or simply looking for fresh meal ideas, this episode is packed with practical inspiration. In this episode, we discuss: Why gluten-free living doesn't have to feel restrictiveThe mindset shift that makes dietary changes easier to maintainCourgetti as an alternative to traditional pastaWhy tamari and coconut aminos are useful gluten-free staplesQuinoa porridge and chia pudding as alternatives to oatsThe nutritional benefits of buckwheatNori wraps and lettuce wraps as alternatives to sandwichesHidden sources of gluten that many people overlookHow to build a naturally gluten-free diet using whole foods📥 New to the podcast or need a starting point? → Download my free The Autoimmunity Recovery Plan — a simple guide that outlines the steps I recommend You can also connect with me here: Instagram: @theautoimmunitynutritionist Website: www.autoimmunenutritionclinic.com If you enjoyed this episode, I would be so grateful if you shared it with someone who may benefit from hearing it, or left a review on your podcast platform of choice.

    Friday 5 - Signs You Need a Health Strategy (Not Another Supplement)

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever found yourself wondering whether the next supplement, test, diet, or protocol might finally be the thing that helps you feel better? If so, you're certainly not alone. In this week's Friday 5, I explore one of the most common patterns I see in clinic: people who are highly motivated, incredibly knowledgeable, and doing all the "right" things, yet still feel stuck when it comes to their health. The truth is that more information does not always lead to better health. Sometimes what we need most is clarity, prioritisation, and a strategy. In this episode, I share five signs that you may need a health strategy rather than another supplement, along with practical tips to help you simplify your approach and focus on what matters most. In this episode, we discuss: • Why the search for the "missing piece" can sometimes keep us stuck • The difference between collecting information and creating a strategy • What an overflowing supplement cupboard may really be telling you • Why trying to fix everything at once often slows progress • The importance of looking for patterns rather than focusing on individual symptoms • How to identify the areas of health that deserve your attention first • Why clarity is often more powerful than complexity Mentioned in this episode: The Root Reset® Intensive A private, in-person experience designed to help you connect the dots, identify potential root causes, and create a personalised six-month strategy for improving your health.

    Send us Fan Mail Many people focus on nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle changes to improve their health, but often overlook one of the most powerful healing tools available to them: their breath. In this episode, I am joined by breathwork pioneer and bestselling author Dan Brulé, whose book Just Breathe has helped thousands of people understand the profound connection between breathing, stress, energy, and wellbeing. Dan has spent decades teaching breath mastery to everyone from elite athletes and military personnel to individuals navigating chronic illness, anxiety, pain, and fatigue.

We discuss:  Dan's remarkable journey into breathwork and the experiences that shaped his life's work  The connection between breathing, stress, and nervous system regulation  Why chronic stress can contribute to inflammation and immune dysregulation  Common breathing mistakes, including mouth breathing and shallow chest breathing  The importance of diaphragmatic and nasal breathing  How breathwork may help with pain, fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and chronic health challenges  The role of carbon dioxide in health and why many people are over-breathing  A simple breathing assessment you can try at home  The power of sighing and yawning for relaxation and nervous system regulation  Practical ways to become more aware of your breathing throughout the day  Why breath awareness is often the first step towards lasting change Whether you're living with an autoimmune condition, chronic fatigue, stress, or simply looking for a practical way to improve your wellbeing, this conversation offers simple yet powerful tools that you can begin using immediately.  Resources 📖 Just Breathe by Dan Brulé 🌐 Dan's website: BreathMastery.com 📱 Follow Dan on Instagram here 📥 New to the podcast or need a starting point? → Download my free The Autoimmunity Recovery Plan — a simple guide that outlines the steps I recommend You can also connect with me here: Instagram: @theautoimmunitynutritionist Website: www.autoimmunenutritionclinic.com If you enjoyed this episode, I would be so grateful if you shared it with someone who may benefit from hearing it, or left a review on your podcast platform of choice.

    The New Autoimmune Protocol: What’s Changed and Why It Matters with Mickey Trescott

    Send us Fan Mail In this week’s episode of The Autoimmune RESET, I’m joined by Mickey Trescott, one of the leading voices behind the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), to discuss the evolution of AIP, the science behind it, and why the new version is far more flexible, sustainable, and nuanced than many people realise. We explore Mickey’s own personal journey with autoimmune disease, how she used nutrition and lifestyle changes to support her recovery, and the research that has emerged around AIP over the last decade. We also discuss why so many people with autoimmune conditions react differently to foods, how reintroductions should actually work, and the importance of avoiding fear-based or perfectionist approaches to healing. One of the things I particularly appreciated in this conversation is the focus on nutrient density rather than restriction alone. Mickey explains why many “healthy” diets can still leave people depleted nutritionally, and how the updated AIP framework aims to support people in a much more realistic and individualised way. We also talk about:  The difference between core AIP and modified AIP  Why food reactions are not always immediate  The role of gut health and immune regulation  Practical first steps for implementing AIP without overwhelm  Why some people struggle with overly restrictive wellness messaging  The importance of reintroductions and long-term sustainability  Common mistakes people make when trying elimination diets  How to approach autoimmune healing without perfectionism Whether you are completely new to AIP or have tried it before, this episode offers a much more balanced and evidence-aware perspective on how food can support autoimmune health.
