Here's a personalized gut-healing and anti-inflammatory plan tailored specifically for:

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
Lupus (SLE)
Psoriasis

Each condition is different, but they all involve chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and gut permeability—so the healing strategy overlaps but includes key specifics for each.

🌿 Phase 1: REMOVE Inflammatory Triggers

Eliminate foods and factors that fuel gut permeability and immune overactivation:

❌ Remove:

Gluten & dairy (especially critical in Hashimoto’s, RA, and psoriasis)
Nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant – especially for RA & lupus)
Sugar & refined carbs (feed bad bacteria + fuel flare-ups)
Soy and corn (immune-disrupting, especially for Hashimoto’s and lupus)
Processed foods, alcohol, seed oils (canola, sunflower, etc.)

🌱 Phase 2: REPAIR the Gut & Calm the Immune System

Key Nutrients & Herbs:

Supplement/Nutrient	Benefits	Especially Helpful For
L-Glutamine	Repairs leaky gut lining	All 4 conditions
Zinc Carnosine	Restores mucosal lining	Hashimoto’s, lupus
Slippery Elm	Coats and calms gut lining	Psoriasis, RA
Aloe Vera (inner leaf)	Anti-inflammatory, gut soothing	Lupus, RA
Marshmallow Root	Soothing to gut and immune system	Psoriasis, Hashimoto’s
Quercetin	Reduces histamine and inflammation	Lupus, psoriasis
Vitamin D3 + K2	Immune regulation and autoimmunity control	Especially Hashimoto’s, lupus
Curcumin (Turmeric)	Reduces TNF-α and IL-6 (inflammatory cytokines)	RA, psoriasis, lupus

🧠 Adaptogen to consider:

Ashwagandha: only use with RA or psoriasis, but avoid in active Hashimoto’s or lupus due to immune-stimulating potential.

🦠 Phase 3: REBALANCE the Gut Microbiome (Probiotics & Prebiotics)

🌿 Targeted Probiotic Strains:

Condition	Probiotic Strains
Hashimoto’s	Lactobacillus reuteri, Bifidobacterium bifidum, L. plantarum
RA	L. rhamnosus, L. casei, Saccharomyces boulardii
Lupus	B. longum, L. fermentum, L. plantarum
Psoriasis	B. breve, L. salivarius, L. paracasei

📌 Prebiotics (daily):

Ground flaxseed
Chicory root
Cooked & cooled potatoes (resistant starch)
Green banana flour

⚠️ Avoid in early flare: high FODMAPs may worsen symptoms – introduce slowly.

🥦 Phase 4: RESTORE with a Blood-Type-Sensitive Autoimmune Diet

Blood Type	Best Anti-Inflammatory Foods	Avoid
O	Wild fish, leafy greens, fermented veg, turmeric	Wheat, nightshades
A	Steamed veggies, berries, plant proteins, green tea	Red meat, dairy
B	Lamb, greens, rice, ginger	Chicken, corn, shellfish
AB	Seafood, olive oil, oats, calming teas	Caffeine, beef, smoked meats

🔄 Phase 5: AUTOIMMUNE CONDITION-SPECIFIC ADD-ONS

🧠 Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

Selenium (200 mcg/day): reduces TPO antibodies
Myoinositol: balances thyroid and insulin
Avoid iodine unless tested for deficiency
Low gluten, low sugar = mandatory

🦴 Rheumatoid Arthritis

Boswellia serrata: excellent for joint inflammation
Omega-3s (2–3g daily): reduces pain and morning stiffness
Evening Primrose Oil: balances prostaglandins

🌺 Lupus (SLE)

Resveratrol & Green Tea Extract: immune modulating
Vitamin A (retinol, not beta-carotene): regulates T-cell activity
Glutathione or NAC: antioxidant + liver detox (avoid triggers)

🧖 Psoriasis

Milk Thistle (silymarin): liver detox and skin clearing
Omega-3s + Zinc: reduces plaque formation
Burdock root & Oregon grape root: traditional skin/gut herbs

🔔 Extra Tips

Test for food sensitivities regularly
Get adequate sleep – sleep loss increases IL-6 and TNF-α
De-stress daily – cortisol spikes fuel autoimmune flares
Consider bioresonance for individualized frequency balancing (especially helpful in lupus & Hashimoto’s) - hi someone ask for bioresonance testing? That's us!
