Background:
A 63-year-old male with a 4-year history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) safely and successfully integrated personalized nutrition and lifestyle modifications to improve the symptomatic outcome of his illness.
Case/Intervention:
The client presented to our nutritional practice with fatigue, acid reflux, joint pain, brain fog and skin rashes. During the nutritional intervention, he safely used a variety of nutritional interventions and supplementation, including dietary improvements, omega-3 fish oils, N-acetyl cysteine, prebiotics and intermittent fasting, along with stress reduction techniques. His symptoms decreased significantly, or disappeared, over 4 years of using these interventions.
Conclusion:
This case demonstrates the safety and potential benefits of personalized nutrition, stress reduction techniques and targeted supplementation in helping to decrease symptoms of SLE. Our client's energy levels and overall performance improved, skin rashes and acid reflux resolved, joint pain and stiffness decreased and brain fog gradually lessened over the 4 years he was in our care.
