Stephanie Sperring,

MScN, BS, AIP Coach Practitioner

Stephanie is truly amazing at her craft. I have been suffering with an autoimmune condition (Hashimoto's thyroiditis) and she's helped me understand my body and its relationship to food better than anyone else. I truly value her kindness, her forward thinking and her resourcefulness. I seen a 40% decrease in my symptoms and I anticipate that she will help me much more. I would not hesitate to recommend Nutrition for Autoimmunity for your nutritional needs.

After 2 decades of digestive issues, being misdiagnosed and put on medication for IBS, and extreme inflammation in my entire body, Stephanie was able to work with me to pinpoint which foods were driving 90% of the health issues I was having! I've come off many medications and have the energy to getting back to feeling like myself. I no longer have to plan my entire life around my digestive system and have been able to get back to being active!

Stephanie came highly recommended by my naturopathic doctor and I found her at a time when I was navigating a newly diagnosed autoimmune condition and was completely overwhelmed. During our first session, we did a deep dive into my symptoms and was she very was empathic and understanding and provided me with the tools and resources I needed to begin my healing journey. Through working with Stephanie I not only learned which foods were triggering my symptoms but I felt better within 3 months and my labs showed a significant decrease in inflammation. Stephanie is a wealth of knowledge who empowers you to be your own health advocate and I highly recommend her to anyone navigating autoimmune disease.

I am so lucky that my naturopath referred me to Stephanie. Not only is she such a caring person, she’s extremely knowledgeable about what she does. I personally have some immune system issues and some possible mast cell issues after having COVID in May of ‘21. She had low histamine food plans that were way more exciting than anything I had found online and I became more excited about eating for the first time in a while. Her knowledge of SIBO, mast cell issues, autoimmunity and other gut related issues helped me to get the testing I needed to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. I’m so grateful for my time with Stephanie and am looking forward to working with her again to help me through healing my gut!

Early in the year, I was diagnosed with a scary autoimmune disease called Graves’. It means I have a hyperactive thyroid driving my metabolism sky high. I was itchy and scratchy at night, and toasty even on a cool winter’s day. I could often hear the pounding of my rabbit’s heart, and see the extra congestion in my eyes. My woman’s doctor recommended I see Stephanie at Nutrition for Autoimmunity for dietary support, in conjunction with taking Methimazole under the care of an Endocrinologist. I wasn’t sure what to expect but Stephanie has become one of my angels this year. I had so many and too many questions for her about what to eat and what not to eat. If a product is pasture-raised, is it safe to assume it’s organic too? Do I really need to avoid broccoli? and where do I source chicken back and chicken neck for homemade broth? were just a few of the wild questions I never thought I would need to ask. She answered ALL of them with kindness, patience and humor. I was Stephanie’s first Graves’ patient but that didn’t deter me. Her willingness to learn more about my disease by doing extra research and seeking out doctors for answers was refreshing and reassuring. I’ve met and seen about 10 different healthcare professionals on this journey, and by far she’s been the most down to earth, genuine and generous with her knowledge and time. When I traveled overseas and wanted to figure out a way to enjoy the food while limiting possible symptoms, she graciously and skillfully devised a well-thought out plan with zero judgment. What I love about Stephanie is she’s realistic. She presents the facts, so I can make an informed decision. It’s never a hard no. She’s been on this journey and shares her own setbacks. She understands too well the complexity of it all, and therefore has a marathon mentality versus a sprint one. My heart goes out to anyone with a new autoimmune disease, but my hope is that they all can seek refuge in Stephanie to make it less scary.

Stephanie is an absolute delight! Warm, caring, and extremely knowledgeable, she really knows her stuff. Being not only a nutritionist but also an AIP-certified coach is a win-win for anyone looking to put and keep their autoimmune condition in remission. Armed with intelligence and experience on all things autoimmunity, Stephanie is a wonderful nutritionist who provides practical tips and insightful resources. Her guidance made all the difference!, and I couldn't be happier with her services! Thank you, Stephanie!
