Autoimmune diseases are complex, increasingly common, and often shaped by factors nutrition providers can influence in outpatient care. This course spotlights the latest research on nutrition concerns in autoimmune disease and offers a practical framework to support improved health outcomes.
This autoimmune nutrition course starts with:
defining "autoimmune disease" — and how this may be changing,
demographics of those most affected,
how nutrition can impact autoimmune symptoms, quality of life, and clinical course.
Then we'll move into high level content:
evidence for and against popular autoimmune diets,
common nutrient deficiencies identified in research,
foundational interventions for digestion and nutrient absorption challenges
— concluding with a brief synopsis of advanced interventions.
We will also address a critical and often overlooked intersection of autoimmune disease and eating disorders, including how restrictive messaging and elimination diets can increase risk and complicate care. To ground the science in real-world practice, participants will leave with actionable recommendations for counseling and care planning.
This autoimmune nutrition course is designed for dietitians and other nutrition providers working in outpatient care, however it is available to all.
Autoimmune diseases are on the rise. Your clients need your help!
After this training, participants will be able to:
✅ Apply evidence-based research findings to identify nutrition concerns and implement appropriate initial medical nutrition therapy (MNT) interventions for clients with autoimmune disease.
✅ Demonstrate counseling strategies that guide clients with autoimmune disease through initial nutrition-focused steps to support improved health outcomes.
✅ Explain emerging perspectives and evolving definitions of autoimmune disease and discuss how these shifts may influence nutrition assessment and intervention approaches.
