Autoimmune & Inflammatory Conditions

Service Introduction

‍

Autoimmune conditions — from Hashimoto's and lupus to rheumatoid arthritis and MCAS — are among the most complex and emotionally exhausting diagnoses a person can receive. Conventional medicine offers medications to suppress immune activity.Functional medicine asks a different question: why is the immune system reacting this way in the first place?

Triggers for autoimmune activation include gut permeability, chronic infections, mold and mycotoxin burden, hormonal imbalances, environmental toxins, unprocessed trauma, and nutritional deficiencies. By identifying and removing these upstream drivers, we create the conditions the immune system needs to regulate itself — reducing flares, improving resilience, and in many cases, achieving lasting remission.

Conditions We Support

‍

• Hashimoto's thyroiditis andautoimmune thyroid disease

• Lupus (SLE) and antinuclearantibody positivity

• Rheumatoid arthritis andinflammatory joint disease

• Mast cell activationsyndrome (MCAS)

• Multiple sclerosis (MS) anddemyelinating conditions

• Psoriasis and psoriaticarthritis

• Inflammatory bowel disease(Crohn's, ulcerative colitis)

• Undifferentiated or seronegative autoimmunity

How It Works

‍

Step 1 ‍

Immune & Inflammatory Mapping — Advanced labs assess inflammatory markers, autoantibodies, complement levels, cytokine patterns, and gut-immune axis function.

‍

Step 2 ‍

Trigger Identification — We systematically evaluate gut permeability, infections (Lyme, EBV, CMV), environmental toxin burden, and hormonal contributions to immune dysregulation.

‍

Step 3

Anti-Inflammatory Protocol — A personalized plan addresses dietary triggers (often including an elimination or anti-inflammatory protocol), gut repair, immune-modulating nutrients, and stress regulation.

‍

Step 4

Monitoring — Autoantibody titers, inflammatory markers, and symptom burden are tracked over time to assess progress and refine the approach.
