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, former intensive care nurse and MS patient Karen Lee provides an accessible and practical guide to attainably and sustainably reducing inflammation – the key underlying factor in very many chronic conditions – 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.

So that you can put Karen’s recommendations easily and sustainably into practice, she has included 100 delicious, whole-food plant-based recipes that will help newcomers and long-term followers of lifestyle medicine alike enjoy the journey to better health.
