Conventional healthcare frequently disbelieves women when they seek care. The same thing happened to our founder. So, she decided to create a collaborative, safe space for autoimmune patients like her to heal and be heard.
“Finally being listened to, heard, and believed was one of the most critical parts of my own healing journey.
I see you. I believe you. WellTheory was created for you.”
ELLEN RUDOLPH, CEO & FOUNDER

Backed by Clinicians Dedicated to Autoimmunity
We’ve partnered with providers who have committed their careers to understanding autoimmune disease and developing effective treatment methods for these complex conditions. They’ve played an integral role in designing and studying our research-backed community coaching program, which has been featured in 4 peer-reviewed studies.

“My takeaway from the [medical studies] is that diet affects our bodies at multiple levels, including cellular expression, inflammation, microbiome, symptoms, nutritional status, and our overall wellness.”
Dr. Rob Abbott, MD
Integrative Medicine Physician
“Autoimmune disease is an increasingly prevalent and debilitating pathology with few to no therapies that target the root causes behind the illness. This program not only targets root disturbances present in many autoimmune conditions but also empowers patients with the knowledge and belief that change is possible.”
Dr. Fiona McCulloch, ND
Integrative Women's Health & Fertility
“This program is a wonderful way to orient yourself to the autoimmune paleo protocol. The team provides unwavering, empathic support, and expert guidance through each step of the program.”
