About Debra Korn: Health Coach & Functional Medicine Consultant for Autoimmune Disease

My story starts when I was very young; as a small child, I never felt 100% well. I had chronic aches and pains, multiple colds and sinus infections, and when I hit puberty at 15, I began to have severe menstrual pains accompanied by nausea, vomiting. I was always sick, pneumonia multiple times a year, gastrointestinal issues and severe anemia and endometriosis. All these symptoms are markers for autoimmune disease which should not have come as a surprise to me because I had diabetes, MS, lupus & rheumatoid arthritis throughout both sides of my family.
