AUTOIMMUNITY
In autoimmune disease, the system loses its ability to distinguish between "self" (the body's own tissues) and "non-self" (foreign invaders like viruses and bacteria). This leads to inflammation, injury, and dysfunction of specific tissues and organs.
MEDICINE & IMMUNITY
The last 2 decades have seen a rapid increase in autoimmune disease. Conventional medicine offers immunosuppressive therapy, but our approach considers the environmental factors that contribute to the onset of autoimmunity. These include environmental toxins, gluten, heavy metals, ultra processed foods, insecticides, pesticides, and food additives. To get to the root cause of autoimmunity, it’s critical to investigate these areas and identify these potential autoimmune triggers.
PERSONALIZED CARE
When you meet with our team, we ask a lot of questions that go beyond typical medical history. We want to understand your goals, your attitudes, your beliefs, and your willingness to make changes in your life. This allows us to personalize your care and enhance your compliance and ability to follow through.

The relationship between autoimmunity and diet is an important one and should be fully evaluated, as the foods you eat can significantly impact inflammation, immune system function, and overall health. Certain foods may trigger or exacerbate autoimmune responses, while others can help regulate immune activity and reduce symptoms. Nutrient deficiencies, gut health, and food sensitivities all play a role in autoimmune conditions, making it essential to assess dietary habits carefully. By identifying potential triggers and optimizing nutrition, we can support immune balance and improve overall well-being.
TAILORED TREATMENT PLANS
COLLABORATIVE AND INTEGRATIVE CARE
We feel coordination of care is important in the current healthcare system that divides healthcare into numerous specialties, which are siloed, and focus on your health from a narrow perspective. Our medical team will coordinate care with all your specialists and provide additional support with nutritionists, acupuncturists, psychologists, physical therapy, etc.
