——— WHO THIS IS FOR
When food questions keep coming up
People usually get in touch once a diagnosis is in place and food is the part nobody has had time to explain. The diagnosis itself always comes from your doctor.
——— COMMON STARTING POINTS
01
A recent autoimmune diagnosis and no food guidance yet
02
Conflicting advice online about what to cut out
03
An elimination diet that has become too narrow to keep up
04
Digestive symptoms on top of your condition
Day to day
✓ Fatigue that makes cooking feel like a chore
✓ Unsure whether a food is a trigger or a coincidence
✓ Worried about missing nutrients after cutting foods
✓ Wanting to support your treatment, not replace it
Never stop or change prescribed treatment without talking to your doctor.

Gut comfort
Fiber and fermented foods brought in at a pace your digestion can handle.
Energy on hard days
Simple meals and batch cooking for the days when fatigue is high.

Checking that a restricted diet still covers protein, iron, calcium and other basics.

——— QUESTIONS
Autoimmune nutrition questions
Can a nutritionist help with autoimmune disease?
A nutritionist cannot cure an autoimmune condition or replace medical treatment. What sessions can do is help you eat in a way that supports your overall health, avoid restrictions you do not need, and see how food and symptoms line up.
What kind of diet helps with autoimmune disease?
No single diet is proven for every condition. Many people start with an anti-inflammatory pattern close to the Mediterranean diet: vegetables, fruit, beans, whole grains, fish and olive oil. The details depend on your diagnosis, medication and digestion.
Do I need an elimination diet like AIP?
Not automatically. Removing many foods at once can make it hard to eat enough. If testing a food makes sense, it is done one food at a time, for a set period, and brought back on purpose.
Which foods are most linked with inflammation?
Common advice is to limit sugary drinks, processed meats and fried or heavily processed foods. Whether a particular food bothers you is something to test, not assume.
Why is there a suitability check first?
Autoimmune conditions differ a lot, and some need closer medical supervision than a nutrition practice can give. The check makes sure the assessment is worth your time and money before you pay.
Can sessions take place online?
Yes, by Zoom where your location allows it, or in person in Kaneohe by appointment.
When do I pay?
Only once Mare’ka has confirmed the fit. The one-hour assessment costs $350, and any tests or supplements cost extra.
