The Autoimmune Clinic

We specialise in working with autoimmune conditions and complex chronic diseases. Our expert integrated approach will get to the root cause of the condition.

What are Autoimmune Conditions?

There are currently over 80 different autoimmune conditions. The most frequently diagnosed are rheumatic diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis and also thyroid disorders such as Hashimoto's and Graves’ Disease.

Autoimmune conditions can affect any system of the body including the joints, bones and skin, the digestive system, the nervous system, the endocrine (hormonal) system, and can be life-altering and debilitating. By the time you are searching for support from nutritional therapy and functional medicine, it’s common to have experienced years if not decades trying to find answers through the conventional medicine route.

Your Symptoms May Vary.

Depending on the type of autoimmune condition you have, the underlying causative factors may vary considerably from patient to patient, despite there being commonly identified triggers. We will identify these causes and directly address these with personalised and targeted dietary approaches using a root cause, not a symptoms approach.

You do not have to suffer lifelong sometimes debilitating conditions of autoimmunity when functional and nutritional therapy can provide targeted long-lasting support.

Our prices and packages for Autoimmune conditions

With autoimmune clients, there are a number of key focus areas which include:

  • Diet and nutrition

  • Gut health

  • Toxins and detox (environmental medicine)

  • Pathogens

  • Food reactivity

  • Stress and lifestyle factors

At the Surrey Centre for Nutrition, we use targeted assessments, packages and testing to identify the cause of your autoimmunity, and personalised nutritional plans to get you back to health.

It is typical for autoimmune clients to need to work together over a longer period of time, depending on how long you have been unwell, the complexities of medications and the complexities of triggers.

At times it may be appropriate for multiple practitioners to work on getting you back to optimal health.

  • We invite you to book a FREE discovery call with us so that we can answer any questions you might have about working together.

    Our free discovery calls last roughly 15 minutes.

    During this time we will discuss your current health concerns and your goals. We will then talk you through how we work, some likely areas of investigation, and the process of working with us.

Surrey Centre for Nutrition’s
approach to Autoimmune conditions

Unlike conventional medicine, we are looking to understand the underlying factors to return a client to health and reverse symptoms. Identifying the true root cause of the disease, and what led the body to attack its own self-tissue will involve investigations into gut health, food and nutrition, food reactivity, pathogen and environmental toxin reactivity, chronic infections, elevated toxic load and stress and lifestyle contributory factors. Functional testing is often required to get to the root cause of what caused the onset of the autoimmune condition for each individual.

We will then use targeted approaches such as gastrointestinal healing and rebalancing, detoxification, and elimination of inflammatory foods to name just a few, and techniques to help mediate the stress response.

Our approach to functional medicine and nutrition at Surrey Centre for Nutrition

Using a functional medicine and holistic whole health approach to understand the true root cause of your symptoms, we will work with you to identify underlying nutritional deficiencies and imbalances, whilst offering a full range of the latest nutritional and functional testing. You will receive a fully bespoke and tailored nutritional, dietary and lifestyle protocol and the support and empowerment to make changes that are sustainable for a healthy future.

Working with practitioners at the Surrey Centre for Nutrition allows you to tap into their nutritional expertise alongside their functional medicine approach. Commonly, functional medicine will identify underlying nutritional imbalances and then refer you to other professionals to address these. However, Libby and her team can attend to all aspects of your health within one treatment protocol.

  • Libby

    “Libby's knowledge and expertise in nutrition has helped me greatly improve my life. She has enabled me to better understand the connection between my body and what I fuel it with, which has led to increased vital energy levels. I highly recommend Libby to anyone seeking to improve their health and well-being.”
    -Raj, Actor

  • Angie

    “Angie is kind, knowledgeable, friendly and very good at what she does. I tested positive for SIBO (which with her support is now resolved), Epstein Barr Virus and Lyme Disease (and a few other co-infections). She also supported me with an underactive thyroid and worked to detoxify my body.”

  • Sam

    "I have a 'borderline' underactive thyroid and I wanted to try and avoid taking medication for as long as possible. I don't suffer with too many 'typical' underactive thyroid symptoms, however my system was very sluggish and I just felt like I needed an energy boost. Sam has been a godsend, I thought I knew a lot about the thyroid but I have learnt so much from her and she explains it all so well without blinding me with science!”

  • Libby

    “Libby has given me practical help with developing a more rounded approach to food, one that also impacts on my entire wellbeing. I have always been susceptible to emotional eating and making snap choices in times of stress. Libby has given me tips to make considered choices and has helped shift my thinking to a position of nourishment, rather than starving myself.

  • Sam

    "At the start of Sam’s programme, I was in a right mess – exhausted and permanently fatigued, experiencing rampant food intolerances, problems with memory concentration and focus, a non-functioning sleep cycle and an inability to make decisions. Now, six months later, I am starting to enjoy life again: planning to move house in the next year, able to sleep through the night sometimes and wake rested, able to eat a wider range of foods consistently without becoming ill afterwards, still weary but without the chronic exhaustion that was so debilitating.”

  • Libby

    “I sought advice from Libby because of a significant weight loss following an illness, subsequent operation and prolonged stay in hospital. Prior to seeing Libby, my weight had shown no signs of recovering but, following Libby’s recommended changes to my diet, over a three month period I am now back to my pre operation weight. Additionally previous digestive symptoms have also been positively influenced, due, I am sure, to the dietary changes recommended by Libby. Friends and family all say how much better I am looking!”

    -Tom, Retired

  • Angie

    “I am extremely lucky to have found Angie Ash when I did. I have MS, have got through breast cancer, was in a toxic relationship and was at a point where divorce and my house-sale were happening... lots of stress in the mix then. PLUS I was losing weight even though I was underweight already and my gut wasn’t working properly.”

  • Sam

    “Working with Sam has been life-changing for me. She is an able listener and effective at adjusting the pace of the programme to work with my super-sensitive system. Working with her feels like a partnership – her objectivity, extensive knowledge and experience allied to my willingness to do what it takes."

  • Angie

    Angie knows her stuff, is kind, friendly and caring. My CD57 (immune Lyme marker) is now nearly in the normal range and my immune system has woken up and is now doing it’s job again. Our consultations covered all aspects of health not just the physical body but the emotional and mental wellbeing too. It all worked well for me – she opened doors to things that I just wasn't aware of. She's made a massive difference to my life, not only in terms of my physical health but also in the context of ideas on how to get through trauma. Truly amazing.

  • Libby

    Libby is a very professional nutritionist whose advice led me to completely transform my eating habits. I felt a huge benefit in my overall health and energy levels following the tailored dietary and supplement protocol Libby created for me. I would recommend Libby’s services to anyone
