Set sail for better autoimmune health, with a lovely supportive crew

Day one

Once payment is made, you will receive an email to set up your account in Practice Better my secure and GDPR/HIPPA-compliant client platform - which is where the community, course materials, any other membership resources and group chat live.

You can access the Practice Better platform in your browser (it works best in up-to-date versions of Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Microsoft Edge). You might also like to download the app from Google Play or the Apple App Store.

The only other thing to do, if you like, is pop into the 💚🤗 Autoimmune Health Club 🤗💚 Community and introduce yourself in the chat. We'd love to meet you!

You'll get a couple of emails about next steps over the coming week or so, but there's no pressure. Take as long as you need to settle in - and reach out if you need any help with that.

The schedule for the coming weeks of live calls is listed when you log in to the 💚🤗 Autoimmune Health Club 🤗💚 Community on Practice Better.

All calls are scheduled in Practice Better, and as a community member you will automatically be registered for all of them.

You will be sent reminder emails 24 hours before and 1 hour before each session, including the Zoom link to access the meeting.

You will find some group guidelines in your 'Start Here' module, to outline some aspects of how the sessions will run - for example confidentiality. The guidelines are always up for discussion if there is anything you would like to comment on, question or add.

Coaching Calls

In our group / hot-seat coaching calls, we will explore and apply my simple Signpost, Explore, Adapt, Sustain® framework to whichever pillars of health you are currently working on - supporting all members in finding their personal next steps in terms of lifestyle and dietary changes.

My priority is always to respond to the needs of the group attending the call live.

You may choose to try out some version of the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), or not - I definitely won't force you either way. If you do choose this path, you get to decide what it looks like (with help of course 😉).

When challenges arise, the group and I will be there to help you work out what you want to do next, and how.

We will support you to embrace your successes and your strengths - because I promise you already have both, even if you can't currently see them - and you'll have many more by the time you've hung out in the club for a while!

Change is not always easy, but we can plan to make it as simple as possible.

The calls vary between a group coaching format (if we have a smaller group present live - where all present will be offered an opportunity to contribute to the discussion if they wish) and a hot-seat coaching format (for larger groups - where you can raise your hand to be coached on a particular issue).

Either are valuable, whether you're talking through your particular situation, or listening and thinking.

Our twice monthly Community Calls are the place to come if you could use a little company to cheer you on while you get stuff done. 

If you have trouble carving out the time to act on your plans - bring them to a Community Call and we'll hang out with you online while you make some progress.

For example you might...

...do some online shopping for supplies for your next experiment

...actually do your physio exercises

...organise a kitchen cupboard

...take us for a walk

...write a note to a friend

...do a little cooking

...catch up on a mini-module from the 🌟 Foundations of Self-Care 🌟 course

I hope this helps to illustrate that your options really are pretty much endless.

We're not on camera the whole time, though you can get my attention whenever you like.

You have two options:

OPTION 1 - MONTHLY - £47 per month 

👉 Set up a monthly plan 👈

OPTION 2 - ANNUAL - £469 per year (saving £95)

The annual plan is the best value as you get two whole months free, working out at under £1.30 a day 🤯 

👉 Set up an annual plan 👈

Whichever plan you choose, the rate will be locked in for as long as you remain a member - and will always include an ongoing charitable donation (check out the donation question below for more on that if you're interested).

You will never be tied in, and are free to leave anytime you like.

Nope. You can leave anytime you like.

I hear you! Modern life is bananas, and we’re all tangled up in never-ending to-do lists. I’ve got you! 

Part of our group coaching sessions will be helping to identify where the things we want to do can fit into our daily lives.

There are always places we can tweak, or carve out just a few minutes. Part of the benefit of talking through this stuff with someone else is the shift in perspective. 

It can bring to light windows of opportunity we might never have noticed on our own.

And on top of that we have our Community Calls, where you can show up to get the actual stuff that's going to help you feel better done in real time!

Doing something just for you is scary, I get it.

It feels indulgent to set aside time, and money, to invest in your health.

Allow me to suggest, with love, that running yourself into the ground isn’t actually helping anyone.

More than that, those people whose needs you tend to put above yours? They’d probably prefer hanging out with a version of you that feels a little more sparkly ✨

Whether you're ready to buy in to this line of thinking yourself yet or not, because I know it can be a tough sell, I wholeheartedly believe that you are worthy of care, compassion and love just for being you - not just to hold everything together so you can be there for them.

Truthfully, it's not 'selfish' to pay some attention to your own needs, it's 100% necessary - and it's time.

First of all - you are far from alone in that boat 🚢

You’ve tried so many times, I know - we all have! You’re not the problem. 

The issue is with how ‘quick fix’ marketing makes us think this ought to work. 

That’s where skilled support based on actual behaviour change science can be a game changer!

You absolutely are capable of building the healthier life you want.

You’ve just been trying to muscle through making changes with unrealistic expectations (given to us all by the magic of advertising), and without the right kind of help - until now 😉

As your coach, I'll be there to troubleshoot with you when things don't go according to plan, and to celebrate with you when they do!

The magical combination of a coach with lived as well as professional experience, and a supportive community of folks who really get it, makes it all feel so much more possible.

The call times vary, as I have an international client base and am always doing my best to accommodate any time zone jiggery pokery (see the next question if this is you). 

Having said that, our existing schedule puts live calls at either 4-5pm UK time (one Coaching and one Community call a month), or 6-7pm UK time (one Coaching and one Community Call a month). Most fall on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays.

If you are unable to attend any live call, that's absolutely fine - and there's definitely no expectation that you'll be there for everything (see the 'pick & mix' question above).

If you would like to participate in a Coaching Call that you can't make, questions can be submitted in advance, and audio replays of all Coaching Calls will be available.

I have an international client base and will always do my best to accommodate the widest possible range of time zones. 

Having said that, I don’t do late nights, and the early part of my morning is a no-go zone for work (autoimmune self-care in action 😉). 

So if you are west of the UK, (i.e behind the UK in time-zone terms), we will likely be meeting in the earlier part of your day - since late afternoon-evening in that part of the world is generally past my bedtime.

If you're to the east of the UK (i.e. ahead of UK time), a lot of continental Europe is generally easy to accommodate as the time differences are not huge, though we would likely be looking at afternoon/evening rather than the top of your morning.

Further to the east we are likely be looking at the later part of your day, depending on exactly where you are.

Currently, most live calls run at either 4-5pm UK time, or 6-7pm UK time on weekday evenings (see the question above on call times for more on that).

Feel free to drop me a line (contact@beccabenning.com) if you have specific concerns or questions on this front.

Short answer - nope (though I can obviously help if that’s what you want).

Longer answer - the Autoimmune Protocol can be a great option, as it is a collection of measures designed specifically with us in mind - and you only have to look around the AIP community online a little to find many and various success stories. 

It’s definitely not the only option though, so if you have no desire to take that route - or no idea what the AIP even is - we’ll find an approach that works for you.

No problem! If you think calming inflammation and balancing your immune system will help you to feel better, you're welcome here.

This is an exciting part of my plan!

I'm building partnerships with a range of autoimmune-related charities, with a view to spreading the word about the club to an extent that will allow me to afford ongoing donations to support these wonderful organisations.

So the donation is taken out of my end, and comes at no extra cost to members.

Whether you choose a monthly or an annual plan, £5 per month will be donated to an autoimmune-related charity from my list of partners - which will hopefully be growing over time.

So far Thyroid UK are on board, so they will be the default recipient of your donation. If you have a strong preference for a different autoimmune-related charity, drop me a line (contact@beccabenning.com) and let me know.
