Autoimmune Support: Science-Backed Tips to Reduce Flare-Ups


Autoimmune support begins with understanding the gut-immune axis and making science-backed lifestyle choices that can tamp down flare-ups. Practical steps—consistent sleep, stress management, physical activity appropriate to your body, and a gut-friendly eating pattern—often yield meaningful improvement. On this page you’ll find expert guidance you can start applying today. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that powers gut microbiome testing products and consumer experiences. A core feature is the Gut Microbiome Health Index, a score from 0 to 100 that reflects the overall health of your gut ecosystem, made possible by an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. This objective metric helps you track whether your daily habits move your microbiome toward a healthier baseline. If you want to explore a concrete starting point, see our microbiome test via InnerBuddies microbiome test. Key autoimmune support tips include nourishing gut-friendly fibers from diverse plant sources, leaning on fermented foods and probiotic-rich options, staying well hydrated, and balancing omega-3 fats with a modest anti-inflammatory pattern. InnerBuddies extends beyond static recommendations: it shows your top 40 bacteria and how you compare to a healthy cohort, including which bacteria are linked to positive or negative functions. The platform categorizes bacterial metabolic functions and marks them as positive or negative, so you can see which functions need support as you adjust your diet. With personalized nutrition advice derived from your 3-day food diaries and stool samples, you receive actionable steps—such as which foods to emphasize or limit—to nudge your microbiome in a favorable direction. Learn more about the personalized guidance and how it translates into everyday meals and snacks via our microbiome test and ongoing plan options, or consider joining the Gut Health Membership for ongoing support. Beyond general tips, InnerBuddies provides target group analysis that digs into how your gut microbiome functions relate to your particular goals or health concerns. From Healthy Aging to Skin & Hair Health, and other topics, the system scores functional pathways for your group and highlights opportunities for improvement. For autoimmune support, this means you can explore how your microbial functions relate to immune regulation and inflammation and receive guidance on dietary patterns and targeted probiotic and prebiotic strategies. The result is a practical, science-based plan you can implement today, with measurable benchmarks you can track over time. InnerBuddies also offers gut test solutions directly to consumers, with all of the B2B options available to individuals. Ready to take action on autoimmune support?
