Autoimmunity
I live with autoimmune disease every day through my child, witnessing both its challenges and the profound difference that comprehensive care can make. This personal experience shapes my approach to supporting others on their autoimmune journey.
What is Autoimmune Disease?
In autoimmune conditions, your immune system mistakenly targets your own tissues, leading to inflammation and damage. This can affect nearly any part of your body, from joints and skin to the thyroid and gut. Common conditions include:
- Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Lupus
- Coeliac Disease
- Type 1 Diabetes
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Psoriasis
- Sjogren’s syndrome
- Uveitis
Autoimmune conditions do not develop overnight. Triggers like stress, gut imbalances, food intolerances, infections, and even toxins often push the immune system into overdrive.
Why Conventional Approaches Fall Short
While conventional treatments focus on managing symptoms, addressing underlying factors can significantly improve quality of life. My functional medicine approach goes beyond symptom management to restore immune balance by investigating key root causes, such as
Gut Health & Leaky Gut
Food Sensitivities
Chronic Infections
Stress & Sleep Quality
Toxins & Heavy Metals
