"A Summit for Hope and Healing Beyond Symptoms"

Virtual Sjogren's Summit 2024

Discover the Gut-Sjogren's Connection and Transform Your Well-being

July 20th-21st, 2024

Sjogren's Disease:
More Than Just Dry Eyes and Mouth

Sjogren's Disease is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects millions of people worldwide.

 

It's often misdiagnosed and misunderstood, leading to delayed treatment and unnecessary suffering.

 

While dry eyes and mouth are common symptoms, Sjogren's can impact multiple organ systems, including the gut.​

 

Research has shown a strong link between Sjogren's and digestive issues.

 

Inflammation triggered by the immune system can damage the delicate lining of the gut, leading to a variety of symptoms like bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.

Navigating the Complexities of Sjogren's and Gut Health

Living with Sjogren's and digestive issues can be incredibly challenging.

 

Finding the right information and support is crucial for managing your symptoms, improving your quality of life, and preventing long-term complications.

Doctor Holding Patient's Hand

Many individuals with Sjogren's struggle to:

  • Get an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan.

  • Find reliable resources and evidence-based information on gut health.

  • Connect with a supportive community who understands their struggles.

  • Feel empowered to take control of their health.

The 3rd Annual Virtual Sjogren's Summit is here to equip you with the knowledge, tools, and community you need to not just survive, but THRIVE with Sjogren's.

 

This year, we're diving deep into Gut Instincts for Sjogren's, exploring the latest research and practical strategies to optimize your gut health and feel your best.​
