HEALTH CONDITIONS WE SUPPORT
Immune & Autoimmune Health Support
Supporting your immune system starts with understanding the whole picture.
Living with an autoimmune condition or ongoing immune health concerns can feel overwhelming. Fatigue, pain, digestive symptoms, skin flare-ups and inflammation can affect every aspect of your daily life.
While autoimmune conditions require medical diagnosis and management, nutrition and lifestyle also play an important role in supporting your overall health, immune function and quality of life.
At Pure Health Nutrition, our Clinical Nutritionists and Naturopaths work alongside your GP, rheumatologist, gastroenterologist, endocrinologist and wider healthcare team to investigate factors that may be influencing immune health and create a personalised, evidence-based plan to support your wellbeing.

What We Look Into
Autoimmune conditions are complex and influenced by genetics, the immune system and environmental factors. While we cannot change genetics, we can investigate factors that may influence your overall health and immune function.
Depending on your health history, we may investigate:
- Gut microbiome health
- Digestive function
- Chronic inflammation
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Blood sugar regulation
- Thyroid health
- Stress and nervous system health
- Sleep quality
- Lifestyle and environmental factors
- Previous infections and medical history
Research continues to demonstrate a close relationship between the gut microbiome and immune regulation. While the gut microbiome is not the sole cause of autoimmune disease, disturbances in the gut microbiome and immune signalling are increasingly recognised as one factor that may influence immune function and inflammation.
Depending on your health history, your practitioner may recommend:
To assess inflammation, iron status, vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate, zinc, thyroid function and other nutritional markers that may influence immune function and overall wellbeing.
Approximately 70% of the body’s immune cells are located within the gut-associated lymphoid tissue. While this doesn’t mean 70% of your immune system “lives in the gut”, it highlights the important relationship between gut health and immune regulation.
Comprehensive stool testing allows us to assess digestive function, gut microbiome health, inflammation, microbial diversity and gut barrier function to better understand factors that may be influencing your overall health.
To assess nutrient status, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress and metabolic pathways that may provide additional insight into factors influencing energy production and immune health.
Including your symptoms, diagnosis, medications, nutrition, lifestyle, stress, sleep, previous testing and medical history to build a complete understanding of your health.
