Autoimmunity is the disorder of our time,
a combination of genetics and environmental exposure.
Your immune system is a miracle of nature, a complex web protecting you against millions of pathogens every day. When those defenses are turned against your own cells, they can wreak havoc.
Uncovering an auto-immune disease takes an average of 5 years and 5+ doctors. (AADSA). Case Integrative Health fast-forwards through that process and works with you to help stabilize and potentially reverse the
course of the disease.
There are 100+ autoimmune diseases, affecting more than
24 million Americans.
Symptoms:
Auto-immune issues frequently show up as multiple different symptoms that, on the surface, seem unrelated. There are some common "super symptoms" that are common to many autoimmune disorders.

Sample Treatment Plan
-
A deep dive initial consult that crosses all body systems to identify potential root causes of auto-immune reactions.
-
Comprehensive functional labs to pinpoint elevated (and lowered) markers.
-
Typically, providers will recommend a tailored diet to support healing (most of the immune system is generated in the gut, after all).
-
Medications or peptides (as needed) to heal underlying issues
-
Follow-up lab work to track progress against minimizing symptoms and taming your auto-immune response.
