Autoimmune Diseases

As we age, our immune system can sometimes become misaligned, leading to autoimmune diseases. These conditions occur when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissues, viewing them as foreign invaders. This can result in a variety of symptoms and health issues, depending on which parts of the body are affected. Common autoimmune diseases include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis, each presenting its own unique challenges.

How Does It Work?

How does root cause medicine treat autoimmune diseases compared to traditional methods?

Root cause medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying factors contributing to autoimmune diseases, such as inflammation, gut health, and environmental triggers. Unlike traditional methods that often prioritize symptom management through medication, this approach seeks to restore balance and function within the immune system, leading to more sustainable long-term health.

What types of tests are used to identify root causes of autoimmune diseases?

To uncover the root causes of autoimmune diseases, a comprehensive evaluation may include blood tests to assess inflammation levels, autoimmune markers, nutrient deficiencies, and gut health. Additionally, lifestyle factors like diet, stress, and exposure to toxins are examined. This thorough assessment helps tailor a personalized treatment plan that targets the specific issues affecting your health.

Can lifestyle changes really impact the progression of autoimmune diseases?

Yes, lifestyle changes can significantly impact the management and progression of autoimmune diseases. Incorporating anti-inflammatory diets, regular physical activity, stress reduction techniques, and adequate sleep can help modulate immune response and improve overall well-being. Many patients experience fewer symptoms and enhanced quality of life by adopting these holistic strategies alongside their treatment plan.

“Although I am a new patient of the Institute for Functional Health, I couldn’t be more satisfied with my decision to seek them out and chose them to help attain my goal to be in the best optimal health possible at the age of 55. After some lab work and consultation, they had a plan for me to start this journey and explained how we would tackle this process. Eric Salinas was extremely knowledgeable as was the rest of the team led by Dr. Torres. I am excited to get started and see results knowing that Eric Salinas is there to back me up with any questions I may have during this journey.”
