Functional Coaching with Daniela โ€“ Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) Guidance & Personalized Healing

Welcome

If youโ€™re navigating autoimmune issues, chronic inflammation, or mystery symptoms that just wonโ€™t resolveโ€ฆ

If youโ€™ve been told your labs are โ€œnormalโ€ but you know something isnโ€™t rightโ€ฆ

If youโ€™re ready for real progress โ€“ grounded, personalized, and compassionate โ€“ youโ€™re in the right place.

I currently live and thrive with Hashimotoโ€™s and hypothyroidism.

Years ago, I started noticing a lot more hair in my brush. I had been vegan for many years, and at the time, I didnโ€™t know I was dealing with leaky gut, nutrient deficiencies, and systemic inflammation that went undiagnosed for far too long.

Once I found the right team in my corner โ€“ functional practitioners, lab testing, and a coach who helped me make sense of it all โ€“ everything changed.

Fast forward several years, and Iโ€™m now living a vibrant, resilient, deeply nourished life. I never could have done it without the right guides walking with me.

Thereโ€™s a science and a soul to every healing journey. Both matter. Both deserve reverence.

And itโ€™s my great joy to help women in midlife reclaim their vibrancy and aliveness.

Why Autoimmune Protocol (AIP)?

The Autoimmune Protocol is a powerful, research-based framework designed to lower inflammation, heal the gut, calm the immune system, and guide you back to balance. It removes common triggers โ€“ not just food, but lifestyle stressors too โ€“ and brings the body back into a state where healing becomes possible.

What the science says:

    โ€ข    In a 2017 clinical trial, 73% of people with IBD went into clinical remission after just 6 weeks on AIP

    โ€ข    Millions of people are navigating autoimmune or inflammatory conditions โ€“ many without a clear diagnosis

    โ€ข    Over 70% of adults in midlife are dealing with gut dysfunction, fatigue, food sensitivities, or chronic inflammation, whether they know it or not

How I Work with You

As a certified AIP coach, I walk beside you through every step of the process:

    โ€ข    Elimination Phase โ€“ We simplify and customize the transition into AIP with a focus on nourishment, not restriction

    โ€ข    Reintroduction Phase โ€“ Youโ€™ll learn how to track symptoms and safely reintroduce foods with clarity and confidence

    โ€ข    Stabilization & Lifestyle Support โ€“ We build long-term strategies around stress, sleep, movement, boundaries, and joy

This is not just a food plan. Itโ€™s a full-picture approach rooted in partnership, presence, and progress.

Youโ€™ll receive:

    โ€ข    Support in reviewing your existing lab work โ€“ I help you spot patterns and prepare questions for your practitioner

    โ€ข    Lifestyle coaching grounded in nervous system regulation and emotional well-being

    โ€ข    Mind-body practices like Qigong, breathwork, and somatic awareness

    โ€ข    Suggestions for supplements and functional labs to consider (if relevant)

All offered through a trauma-informed, midlife-savvy, and deeply human lens.

What Clients Say

โ€œDaniela helped me move from overwhelmed and exhausted to clear and empowered. I had been stuck in the elimination phase for months. With her support, I found peace with food, energy in my day, and a deeper trust in my body again.โ€

โ€œSheโ€™s walked this path. That made all the difference. I felt seen, held, and educated in a way no doctor ever provided.โ€
