In the lupus clinical trial

Mymee’s clients with systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) experienced clinically meaningful improvements in their lupus symptoms. The complete findings were published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR). The study was the first of its kind for lupus patients with all care delivered remotely.
 
Study participants attended 16 virtual, one-on-one sessions with an assigned Mymee health coach and tracked everyday factors (like diet, environment, and sleep) into the Mymee mobile app. Health coaches developed personalized natural lupus treatment plans for each client and recommended small, manageable changes to identify and confirm autoimmune disease symptom triggers.

Lupus Success Stories from Mymee Clients

I liked that I could actually see my own data, it was helpful to look back and see how far I’d come. I could see that the structure of my day had changed - I was waking at 7:15 am, with no need for a nap throughout the day. I was walking regularly and I also tracked my productivity.

Working with her Mymee health coach, Jordana uncovered autoimmune disease symptom triggers that she wouldn’t have guessed on her own. While she had come to understand that she needed to limit her exercise and include animal protein and gluten to manage some symptoms, she was still lost.

When Sherry started the Mymee Program in February 2018, she had developed lupus nephritis with proteinuria and diabetic retinopathy. She was considering a gastric pacemaker procedure to alleviate stomach pain from gastroparesis, and also suffered from fatigue, brain fog and pain in multiple joints. Chronic back pain secondary to a herniated disc had been diagnosed by MRI and CT scan.
