A Path to Help Ease Your Mind while Navigating Autoimmune Disease

Living with an autoimmune disease is challenging, and it can take a toll on your mental health. Stress, anxiety, and depression are common issues that up to 50% of autoimmune disease patients face. Inflammation caused by these diseases can exacerbate mental health problems, making it difficult to manage day-to-day life, much less focus on self-care. (Source)
We’re here to help you incrementally focus on your mental well-being to help you feel better and improve your overall quality of life.
Explore Steps to Calm Your Mind and Improve Your Well Being while Living with Autoimmune Disease
It’s difficult to manage day-to-day life, much less make positive lifestyle changes when struggling with mental health. Or perhaps you just need a little uplift, which we all could use.
By prioritizing your mental health, you can better manage the stress and anxiety that often come with autoimmune diseases, make positive lifestyle changes, and improve your physical health.
Our Invigorate mental health resources support your wellbeing and are an integral part of your journey towards autoimmune disease remission.
Elevate Your Mental Health and Wellbeing
Just like our physical health, our mental wellbeing is influenced by a variety of factors, such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and environment.
Nurturing your mental health with practices like gratitude, mindfulness, meditation, and social connection, can positively influence your mental and physical health and improve your overall wellbeing. Our community has curated apps, podcasts, guides, and other resources to empower your mental health journey.

When we practice gratitude, our bodies make immunoglobulins – our natural defense against viruses and bacteria – and our immune systems strengthen along with a host of other health benefits!
