Hi, I’m Palmer!
When I was 19 I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). My family was devastated. For over two decades specialists told me that all I could do was “take medication” and “prepare for life in a wheelchair.”
Fortunately, my dad sparked my can-do attitude early on and I began to experiment with natural healing modalities. I never gave up! Instead, I educated myself and continued to seek solutions until I found my root causes, healed my gut and finally reversed the MS for good in 2010.
My life’s work is to seek, simplify and share the science, stories and strategies to help others achieve vibrant health.
In my bestselling book, Beat Autoimmune, I distill 3 decades of experience, research and client successes into a simple framework called F.I.G.H.T.S.™ for food, infections, gut health, hormone balance, toxins and stress. When you address each category, you lower your toxic burden, increase your resilience, and epigenetically switch off the expression of disease in your body.
Now I coach people back to health with step-by-step guidance in a loving online program and community called Beat Autoimmune Academy. Getting well and staying well is more simple, cost-effective and fun than you may have ever imagined!

Good news! Beating an autoimmune condition is possible.
You can do it. I can help. And the positive Beat Autoimmune Academy community is here to cheer you all the way!

So many people have reversed “incurable” autoimmune conditions, including the 12 doctors and practitioners in my book (plus the thousands of people they’ve gone on to help), and numerous clients, readers and followers of my framework. These are people who have proactively learned how to take control of their health and who have reaped the rewards of a more vibrant life than ever before. Whether you have Multiple Sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lupus, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, IBD, Crohn’s, celiac, chronic Lyme, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), or ANY of the other 150+ autoimmune conditions; or if you have mysterious symptoms, or are just seeking to optimize your health, you are in the right place.
Let’s do this together!

Here’s what my clients and members say

“Working with Palmer changed my life. I was diagnosed with MS on Nov 1, 2016 and had the good fortune to begin working with her that same week. By following Palmer’s advice, I started to heal by removing inflammatory foods and by following a Paleo template diet. Within weeks, my MS symptoms subsided, and I felt ready to address stress and childhood traumas that had been plaguing me for decades. Today, my family and friends view me as a role model for health and wellbeing. The F.I.G.H.T.S.™ framework changed my and my family’s lives, and I have every reason to believe it will change yours too.”
– April Saenz

“Before working with Palmer, I had trouble just getting through the day. I had tummy pain and IBS-symptoms so bad I could barely leave the house. I was so tired I would frequently fall asleep at work, and I didn’t have the energy to exercise. My hormones were so out of whack I had debilitating monthly cycles and extra weight that wouldn’t budge. By following Palmer’s anti-inflammatory food plan, taking targeted supplements, and detoxing slowly, I was able to heal my gut and reverse all symptoms of celiac disease and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Now I’m running 5Ks with my daughter and enjoying life instead of dreading it. If I can beat autoimmune, you can too!”
– Wendy McCarter

“Palmer Kippola is giving my life back to me! I’ve been in her Facebook group, Transcend Autoimmune since being diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases (RA and Sjogren’s) and IBS. By following her suggestions and making simple lifestyle shifts I found my triggers and got rid of ALL the inflammation, debilitating fatigue, brain fog, vertigo, severe muscle pain and weakness…!! I don’t know where I’d be without this group and Palmer’s help.”
– Lee Ann Kranick-Bailey

“Now is the time to take back your health! Autoimmune conditions are reversible, but you need to address root causes head on. Palmer Kippola used to have MS and now she’s on a mission to help anyone who is eager to reverse or prevent any autoimmune condition.”
– Izabella Wentz, PharmD, FASCP

“I don’t know where I’d be without Palmer’s help. I didn’t know that it was even possible to reverse my lupus, Sjøgren’s, Raynaud’s and Hashimoto’s. If it hadn’t been for Palmer’s empowering blog and essential book, Beat Autoimmune, I don’t think I would have taken the radical step of changing my lifestyle and taking responsibility for my health outcomes. I am now completely free of autoimmunity and joint pain, tapering off meds, and running again! Even better, I’m ALIVE and fully present for my sons!”
