Autoimmune Remission is possible. Most women are never told.

A movement to take one sentence mainstream.

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.

This conference gathers the people who hold the pieces, and assembles the picture for the millions who were never shown it.

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.

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. Hosted and personally interviewed by Daniela Hess, so you are in experienced hands.

4
A featured article slot

Every speaker may contribute one article to the conference library, so your teaching keeps reaching readers long after the live weekend ends.

We know how to produce an event like this

The Autoimmune Conference is produced by the team behind the Extraordinary Yoga Teacher Summit, which Christopher Grant and Daniela Hess have run twice this year, hosting and personally interviewing more than sixty speakers between them. Same production, same care with speakers, same format: a live weekend that feels like a retreat, plus a week to catch up. Your session is handled by people who have done this before.

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
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.’
