Healing from the Inside Out: Managing autoimmune disease with a whole-food plant-based diet

There are more than 100 autoimmune conditions, ranging from Hashimoto's (the major cause of underactive thyroid), through type 1 diabetes and lupus to multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis and many less well-known conditions. Collectively, 10% of the UK population was calculated to have one or more autoimmune conditions in 2023, and if you have one the risks of developing another are much higher. Nutritionist, health educator and MS patient Karen Lee provides an accessible and practical guide to attainably and sustainably reducing inflammation through a plant-based diet, based on her experience of helping herself and others reverse their symptoms. It explains why whole plant foods help calm inflammation and promote healing and includes inspiring stories of people who have transformed their health this way as well as an extensive collection of recipes that will help newcomers to this style of eating get started, simply and easily.
