I started getting these symptoms, which ranged from really painful joints to hair loss and blistered skin.“I thought it was because I was stressed at the time. I was teaching and I was thinking, ‘Oh, I’m just really tired’. I was falling asleep while I was driving and things like that.“I was thinking, ‘God, this is a bit bizarre’. But I was just thinking,‘Yeah, we’ll see how we go on. It must be stress’.“Until I just physically couldn’t move and was essentially bed bound for around three months. So I wasn’t able to teach. And so I was always quite sporty and love being active.“So it was a real shock when I just wasn’t able to do those things anymore and that kind of led me to start researching gut health and just overall wellness.“I hadn’t heard of lupus before being diagnosed. So it’s one of those things where it was a real shock to hear that.”Lupus is an auto-immune condition which causes the body’s immune system to mistakenly attack healthy tissue and organs.talkSPORTKeane was ‘bed bound for three months’ before being told she had the auto-immune condition[/caption]Symptoms include hair loss, rashes, blisters, joint pain and extreme fatigue.As for how nutrition helps those suffering with lupus, Keane continued: “A lot of the time it is the overall like diet, stress management, sleep, which at times I think everyone struggles with different aspects of that.“I think for me, a big thing is managing my stress levels. I think I’m a natural overthinker and stress head, but it’s really kind of taught me to just really look at things in my life.“I just managed my diet as much as possible, eating real whole foods, nothing processed and really just getting that balance.“I think a lot of the time there are really great medications that people rely on for lupus and auto-immune conditions, which are super beneficial.“But I really just did not want to rely on the kind of steroids and a lot of intense medication for the rest of my life.”Keane is grateful for the support of her family after launching the gut-friendly cereal SUPERKEENInstagram / @superkeenfoodsHaving launched Superkeen, she has been supported by her family, including her Premier League-winning father.Being able to share the business with her loved ones has been a standout benefit from the experience, Keane revealed.She added: “They’ve been so supportive. We’ve got a food event this weekend in Dublin. Me and mum go, we do all the food events. I love that part of it and chatting to people.“They’ve been involved with every aspect of it from emotional support and checking on me.“They’re saying, ‘How are you getting on?’ And I love spending time with my family. So I drag them along to these food events.“I think they’re eye rolling but I love time with my sisters, so (I’m) very grateful.”
