Journey to Health,
One Step at a Time
A devastating diagnosis of brain inflammation caused by autoimmune encephalitis, led Lisa to leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of recovery.
Through telling her story she demonstrates that by implementing changes to diet, mindset, lifestyle, and the environment, alongside conventional medicine, it is possible to create a scenario for the best possible chance of recovery.
With a Bachelor of Nursing Science and a Master’s of Public Health, Lisa believes whole heartedly in the role of conventional medicine, holistic approaches, and intensive rehabilitation, without which, it’s likely she would not have survived. In Journey to Health, she imparts her extensive knowledge and personal experience of taming inflammation and recovering from this devastating disease and the journey she took, one step at a time.

What is Autoimmune Encephalitis?
Encephalitis = brain inflammation
Autoimmune = caused from within the body
Autoimmune Encephalitis (AE) = brain inflammation caused when the body starts producing a substance, also known as an antibody, that starts attacking the brain by mistake, causing a wide range of neurologic and psychiatric symptoms.
It is difficult to diagnose and treat this disease and it can leave the patient with many debilitating effects that often require targeted and lengthy rehabilitation and medical treatment. There is no check-list for recovery. There is no, “one size fits all approach”.
Early on in her journey, Lisa decided to do everything she possibly could to not only survive, but also thrive following the overwhelming effects of brain inflammation on her health.
