American women, most never told Remission is possible

The vision
This conference gathers the people who hold the pieces, and assembles the picture for the millions who were never shown it.
A movement to take one sentence mainstream: “Autoimmune Remission IS possible.”
Most women with an Autoimmune diagnosis are seeing a well-intended primary care doctor, an endocrinologist, a rheumatologist, and being handed a prescription and, in so many words, a life sentence: manage it, forever. Almost none are told that thyroid medication treats the thyroid, not the Autoimmunity underneath it. Almost none are told the word Remission belongs to them too.
Their doctors are not hiding it. It was simply never part of their training. For decades, a different group of practitioners has been quietly helping people bring Autoimmune disease into Remission, working with optimal ranges instead of ‘normal’ and treating the person instead of the label. It works. It has just stayed one of medicine’s best-kept secrets.
You cannot sit across from every woman who needs your work. Here, your piece of the puzzle reaches the ones who are searching for exactly what you teach.

Why speak
Reasons to add your voice
This is a gathering of peers under one banner: Remission is possible. Here is what joining gives you.
1
Peer company that means something
Your name among the practitioners who actually work toward Remission with optimal ranges and root-cause care. Positioning a generic lineup cannot give you.
2
Real reach to a motivated audience
Thousands of women who are actively searching for this and have never had access to it. Your piece of the puzzle, in front of the people who need it.
3
A light, well-produced lift
A 20 to 25 minute session, live or pre-recorded, on the topic you choose. Your co-hosts host and interview every speaker, and every presenter is welcome on the live closing panel, Sunday, October 11.
4
An optional free gift to share
If you would like, you may offer one free resource, a guide, a download, a short video, so attendees can take a first step with you. Entirely optional.
A personal invitation
Why I’m Inviting You, and Why I’ll Interview You Personally
I chose you for this roster myself, not for a follower count but for the work: the kind of Remission-focused, root-cause care I had to go looking for myself before I found it.
Christopher and I will interview you personally, live or pre-recorded, because a topic on a slide is not the same as hearing how you actually work: what changes when you stop treating to ‘normal’ and start treating toward Remission, and what that means for the person in front of you.
Every practitioner who says yes becomes another piece. Together, we make the complete picture that guides millions of women toward Remission, the one none of us can assemble alone.
This is not a lineup of strangers reading from notes. It is a series of conversations with the people already doing this work, and I would be honored to have yours.

In Daniela’s words
Why I Started This Conference
For about seven years, something was clearly wrong in my body, and no one could tell me what. I had been vegan for around 20 years, certain I was doing everything right. I was a wellness teacher. I knew my body. And I was still slowly losing my health. More than once, I was sent home with the word ‘normal’ stamped on my labs.
Eventually I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, SIBO, and low stomach acid. I found the Autoimmune Protocol in my early fifties, and for my Autoimmune body, it was the piece that changed everything.
I do not tell people I recovered. I tell them the truth: there is a great deal you can do. You can work with the root causes, and you can move an Autoimmune disease toward Remission. That is what I want for every woman who finds this conference, and it is why I built it: to put the practitioners who do this work in front of the women who are still being told ‘normal’ is the end of the conversation.

From the clinicians we work with
Practitioners vouch for how we hold this work
Two of the clinicians on this year’s roster, on Daniela and the care she brings to the space.
‘Daniela brings a rare combination of lived experience, deep functional medicine literacy, and genuine passion for education. Her work is not a replacement for medical care, it is designed to walk alongside it. I recommend her without reservation.’
Dr. Matt Rayner, D.C.Co-Owner, The Wellness Institute of Dallas
‘Daniela honors both the science and the soul of the midlife transition. Her guidance is grounded, evidence-informed, and free of the fear-based, quick-fix messaging that saturates this field. I recommend her without reservation.’
Melissa Vorhis, FNP-COwner, Finger Lakes FNP
