Stephen Garner, patient advocate

Stephen Garner is a patient researching their own disease, exploring the frontiers of human knowledge, and developing new frameworks as an ethical theorist. After reducing the severity and frequency of his own autoimmune symptoms through targeted nutrition, biochemical modeling, and self-experimentation, Stephen now shares his experience, and findings, to help others better understand and manage chronic illness. With a background in emergency services, information technology, and scientific theory-building, he brings a systems-oriented lens to the intersection of health, ethics, and personal agency. His current work focuses on giving the body the tools it needs to maintain systems coherence; combining insights from microbiome science, immune regulation, and cognitive framing.
