026 - PART 1: Autoimmune Disease with Kate McCandless

Hello everyone and welcome!! Today I have Kate McCandless on the show. Kate is a Naturopath, Nutritionist, G.A.P.S., ACNEM, SIBO, M.A.P.S & MINDD practitioner, and has been in the healthcare industry for 12 years, with a particular interest in Autoimmunity, Fatigue, Digestive, Lyme & Mould and Skin conditions. Kates passion stemmed from many years of personal ‘unknown’ illnesses and chronic fatigue, from which she was finally diagnosed with multiple autoimmune conditions including coeliac disease, endometriosis, and psoriatic arthritis.  As a result, she is committed to helping people discover a simple diet, with the support of herbs and nutrients, that nourishes and supports healing to regain the energy and passion for life they are missing. In addition to offering treatment for general health issues, Kate offers an integrative medicine service in order to assist patients to reduce the side effects of conventional medicines and, alongside their GP, also help patients safely withdraw from medications that are no longer required.
