Auto Immune Summit: Notes from Nutritionist Brianne Williams

~

In November of 2014, I attended the AutoImmune Summit that was brought to you by Dr. Amy Myers. In this week long session, multiple specialists, doctors, and top notch doctors in the field of functional medicine addressed multiple topics related to autoimmunity, our bodies, and natural world around us. Each doctor discussed their specialty, and gave tips, tricks and suggestions for people seeking out a more natural cure to their ailments.

This section of notes was taken during Nutritionist Brianne Williams segment with Dr. Myers. As with all of our notes from this summit, they are just that, notes. If you have questions about any of these topics, please seek out the actual doctor, practice, or even your own general practitioner, or doctor of your choosing.
