About Me
Welcome to my blog – The Autoimmune Professor. The goal of this blog is to help those diagnosed with autoimmune disorders by providing as much information on autoimmune diseases as possible.

I am a professor and researcher with a doctorate in Educational Psychology, a doctorate in Health Sciences, a masters in Global Health, and am currently obtaining a PhD in exercise science.
I am hoping that this blog will help others by providing information and increasing awareness of autoimmune diseases.
