Autoimmune Health in 2026: Wellness Trends That Support Healing (and Those to Avoid)

As we move into 2026, the wellness landscape — particularly in autoimmune health — is undergoing a quiet but important shift.


In this episode, I explore the wellness trends that are genuinely supporting autoimmune healing, and the popular approaches that no longer serve people living with chronic inflammation, fatigue, hormone imbalance, and immune dysregulation.


We move beyond optimisation and “doing more,” and instead look at what actually helps the body feel safe enough to regulate: nervous system support, vagal tone, metabolic nourishment, personalised gut health, restorative sleep, and sustainable movement. I also share what I’m seeing time and time again in clinic, alongside reflections from my own long journey with autoimmunity.


We talk about why stress reduction isn’t enough — and why nervous system regulation and emotional fitness are becoming foundational in autoimmune care. I discuss emerging tools such as non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation, why personalised testing is replacing one-size-fits-all protocols, and why eating enough, sleeping well, and moving gently matter more than ever.


I also unpack the trends we’re finally leaving behind — including extreme fasting, chronic restriction, generic hormone advice, and the idea that autoimmune disease is “just stress.”


If you’re tired of chasing wellness trends and want a more grounded, biology-led approach to autoimmune health in 2026, this episode is for you.
