Understanding Autoimmune Disease through a Functional Medicine Lens

Autoimmune diseases arise when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, leading to chronic inflammation and a wide range of symptoms. Rather than simply suppressing the immune response with medication, functional medicine takes a root-cause approach—asking why the immune system became dysregulated in the first place. We focus on restoring balance through personalized nutrition, lifestyle interventions, gut healing protocols, and targeted supplementation, all grounded in the latest research on immune health and systemic inflammation. By addressing the underlying triggers—such as food sensitivities, chronic infections, environmental toxins, and emotional stress—we aim to reduce symptom severity and, where possible, promote remission.
