Empowering you to heal & thrive with food. As a wife and mother of seven, including triplet three-year-old boys, I have been managing an autoimmune disease for over 20 years. To heal and nurture my bo

dy, I have taken a deep dive into natural food. My success in managing Discoid Lupus through food has motivated me to pursue a doctorate in Clinical Nutrition. My goal is to help others understand the power of food in their everyday health. Through my private practice Captivating Nutrition and Wellness LLC, I specialize in helping clients manage autoimmune conditions, gut health, and perinatal and menopausal nutrition. I am learning to cherish every season of my life, and at the moment, I am enjoying my crazy yet wonderfully blessed life.

Gut health for women with autoimmune disease starts in your kitchen, not a supplement bottle. 🥗

Still exhausted after 8 hours of sleep, riding the blood sugar rollercoaster, or bloated after “healthy” meals?

These Turkey & Avocado Rainbow Roll-Ups give you balanced protein, healthy fats, and fiber to fuel your energy and calm inflammation — in 10 minutes.

They’re gluten free, rich in magnesium and folate from greens, and the combo of turkey + tahini + avocado helps keep blood sugar steady so you’re not crashing an hour later.

Save this recipe for busy days, share it with a friend who needs evidence-based support, and follow for more gut-centered, research-backed meal ideas.

Sleep 5 hours a night for just one week and your body doesn’t “push through it” — it rearranges itself around that stress.

In tightly controlled lab studies with healthy young adults, short sleep:
• Increases hunger hormones and carb cravings
• Spikes cortisol (your main stress hormone)
• Reduces insulin sensitivity (hello, blood sugar roller coaster)

This is why you can be “doing everything right” with food and still feel inflamed, tired, and stuck with stubborn weight or blood sugar issues.

As a clinical nutritionist, I’m always looking at sleep alongside gut health, and stress when a client’s metabolism won’t budge.

Still bloated, constipated, or running to the bathroom even though you “eat healthy”? Your gut bacteria might be starving.

Gut health for women with autoimmune disease and IBS: probiotic and prebiotic foods work together to feed the good bugs in your microbiome, support regular digestion, and may reduce inflammation over time.

In this carousel, I’ve pulled together easy, real-food recipes—like kombucha mocktails, miso soups, and fiber-rich veggie sides—to help you build a daily routine that actually nourishes your gut.

Still exhausted, inflamed, and told your labs are “normal”… but your body says otherwise?

Gut health for women with autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, and stubborn inflammation starts in the kitchen — not just in the pharmacy. The Western way of eating (ultra‑processed foods, low fiber, lots of sugar) quietly disrupts your gut microbiome, drives inflammation, and shows up as IBS, joint pain, brain fog, and “I’m tired all the time” energy.

In my practice at Captivating Nutrition & Wellness, we use food first: more fiber‑rich plants, colorful veggies, healthy fats, and culturally relevant swaps that actually fit your life — not a restrictive, joyless meal plan. Small changes to your plate can create big changes in your gut… and in how you feel day to day.

Comment and I’ll send you my free guide to gut‑supportive, anti‑inflammatory eating for women.

Still bloated, gassy, or running to the bathroom even when you’re “eating healthy”?

Your foundational habits might be the missing piece.

Gut health for women with autoimmune disease and IBS starts with the basics: relaxed meals, gentle movement, minerals, and less ultra-processed food. When your nervous system is calmer and blood sugar is more stable, your digestion can finally catch up.

You don’t have to overhaul your entire life to feel better after meals—these small, repeatable habits work quietly in the background. This is exactly what I coach my clients through so they can enjoy food without fear.

Save this post so you have these digestion-supporting habits at your fingertips the next time your stomach is acting up.

Trying to “eat healthy” but still feeling bloated, gassy, or just…off after meals? You’re not doing anything wrong —your body simply needs a plan that fits you, not a generic checklist.

Gut health for women who are tired of one-size-fits-all advice: your digestion, hormones, stress, and lifestyle are unique, so your nutrition plan should be too.

Rushed meals, barely chewing, chronic stress, low stomach acid, and not enough hydration or minerals can all impact how your body breaks down and absorbs food, even when it’s “healthy.”

In my practice at Captivating Nutrition & Wellness, we slow down, listen to your story, and design a personalized nutrition plan so you can feel clear, comfortable, and confident in your body again.

Save this post if you’re ready to stop guessing, share it with a friend who’s doing “all the right things” but still feels off, and follow Dr. Chanelle DeGraff | Autoimmune & Gut Health Nutritionist for more personalized gut health support.

Still waking up puffy, exhausted, and feeling like your body is “on fire” even though your labs are “normal”?

This 5-Day Antioxidant Reset is designed to calm inflammation from the inside out using food, not fads.

In this reel, I’m walking you through simple, evidence-informed antioxidant strategies that support blood sugar balance, gut health, and hormone harmony—without cutting everything you love or living on green juice.

If you’re ready for less bloat, more energy, and clearer thinking in just 5 days, this reset is where we start.

If this resonates, share this with a friend, follow for more functional nutrition tips, and save this reel so you can come back to it when you’re ready to reset.

Your gut routine at night matters as much if not more than what you do in the morning.

If you’re “doing everything right” during the day but still waking up bloated, constipated, or inflamed… your gut likely didn’t get the chance to repair while you slept.

In this reel, I’m walking you through 4 evidence-based habits I use with clients to support gut healing overnight:

Creating a realistic fasting window (with smart exceptions for blood sugar needs)

Timing your probiotic so it actually has a chance to colonize

Using magnesium glycinate to shift you into “rest and digest”

Activating your vagus nerve with extended exhale breathing before bed

Your morning routine sets up digestion.
Your nighttime routine sets up repair.

When you line up both, your gut stops waking up in crisis mode and can finally move toward healing.

Save this so you can come back to it as you tweak your evenings.
Follow for clinical, evidence-based gut and autoimmune nutrition you can actually apply.
