What Is multiple sclerosis?

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS) IS A CHRONIC AUTOIMMUNE CONDITION THAT AFFECTS THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS), WHICH INCLUDES THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD. IN MS, THE IMMUNE SYSTEM MISTAKENLY ATTACKS THE PROTECTIVE LAYER AROUND NERVE FIBRES, KNOWN AS THE MYELIN SHEATH.

This damage disrupts the communication between the brain and the rest of the body, leading to a wide range of symptoms. The progression of MS varies between individuals, with some experiencing periods of relapse and remission, while others may develop more persistent symptoms over time.

Common symptoms of multiple sclerosis include:

Fatigue and difficulty walking

Muscle weakness or spasms

Numbness, tingling, or pain in various parts of the body

Vision problems, such as blurred or double vision

Cognitive difficulties, including memory issues and trouble concentrating

Balance and coordination problems

The limitations of conventional treatment

While medications can help slow the progression of MS and manage symptoms, they often don’t address the underlying factors contributing to the condition. Many people find themselves searching for additional ways to improve their overall wellbeing and regain control over their health.

Our Approach

At the Autoimmune Clinic, we take a holistic, functional medicine approach to managing multiple sclerosis . Our focus is on identifying and supporting possible root causes of your condition, enabling you to take control of your health and achieve lasting improvements in your quality of life.

90 minute initial appointment

During this time we dive deep into your personal health story and medical history. Areas we may cover include:

Diet, lifestyle, infections, environmental exposures (past and present), your family health history, stress, etc.

We start connecting the dots for you to understand your health picture better.

We also revisit your existing results together and how they fit into the picture, making sense of it all for you.

Comprehensive Testing

We begin with in-depth testing to uncover the factors contributing to your MS, such as:

Nutrient deficiencies
Gut issues, including leaky gut syndrome, infections, SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)
Infections
Food sensitivities, allergies or other environmental triggers such as mould exposure
Hormonal imbalances and stress response

Personalised Nutrition Plans

Diet plays a critical role in managing MS. Our nutrition plans are tailored to your needs and may include:

Anti-inflammatory diets to reduce immune overactivity.
Nutrient-rich foods that support nerve and myelin health.
Elimination of potential dietary triggers, such as gluten, dairy or processed foods, which may exacerbate symptoms.

Lifestyle and Stress Management

Stress can be a key trigger for autoimmune conditions. Our team provides strategies to help you:

Manage stress effectively through relaxation techniques
Improve sleep quality and energy levels
Restore balance to your overall wellbeing

Targeted Supplementation

We recommend evidence-based supplements to support nervous system repair and overall health, such as:

Vitamin D to modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation.
Omega-3 fatty acids for nerve protection and brain health.
Antioxidants like glutathione and alpha-lipoic acid to combat oxidative stress

Ongoing Support and Guidance

Follow up appointments are needed to continue to build on the foundations that we put in place, to keep you motivated, on track and engaged with the process.

From experience, we see more successful outcomes when individuals are committed to a series of appointment over a period of time to achieve real long lasting improvement in their symptoms and condition.

Continuity of work also allow us to build a relationship and for you to feel supported.

Don’t wait to take control of your health.
