Autoimmune & Inflammatory Conditions

Book a Consultation

Autoimmune conditions are among the most complex and misunderstood in modern medicine. When the immune system turns against the body's own tissues, it rarely does so without reason. Infections, toxins, gut permeability, and chronic stress are all known drivers of autoimmune activation.

I work to identify and address the upstream triggers of your autoimmune condition, using advanced testing and individualized protocols to calm inflammation, support immune regulation, and help your body find its way back to balance.

Conditions

What I Treat

From Hashimoto's to lupus, I take a root-cause approach to autoimmune and inflammatory conditions that goes beyond simply managing symptoms.

1

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

Autoimmune attack on the thyroid gland driving progressive hypothyroidism, requiring immune modulation alongside thyroid support.

2

Lupus (SLE)

Systemic lupus erythematosus causing widespread inflammation, joint pain, skin manifestations, and organ involvement.

3

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Autoimmune joint inflammation with systemic effects, benefiting from anti-inflammatory protocols and immune rebalancing.

4

Multiple Sclerosis

Autoimmune demyelination with neurological symptoms, supported through gut health, vitamin D optimization, and neuroprotective strategies.

5

Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis driven by immune dysregulation, gut dysbiosis, and mucosal inflammation.

6

Psoriasis & Eczema

Skin manifestations of systemic inflammation and immune dysregulation, addressed through gut healing and anti-inflammatory support.

7

Sjogren's Syndrome

Autoimmune condition targeting moisture-producing glands, causing dry eyes, dry mouth, fatigue, and systemic inflammation.

8

Ankylosing Spondylitis

Inflammatory arthritis primarily affecting the spine, driven by immune activation and linked to gut microbiome dysregulation.

9

Mixed Connective Tissue Disease

Overlapping autoimmune features affecting multiple organ systems, requiring comprehensive immune regulation and anti-inflammatory care.

My Method

My Approach to Autoimmune & Inflammatory Conditions

1

Identifying Autoimmune Triggers

I investigate the root drivers of immune dysregulation including gut permeability, chronic infections, toxic exposures, hormonal imbalances, and stress patterns that initiated or maintain the autoimmune process.

2

Advanced Immune Testing

Beyond standard antibody panels, I use comprehensive immune profiling, cytokine testing, microbiome analysis, and specialty labs to understand the full picture of your immune activity.

3

Gut Healing & Microbiome Restoration

The gut is the foundation of immune regulation. Restoring intestinal integrity, reducing dysbiosis, and supporting the gut-immune axis is central to calming autoimmune activity.

4

Targeted Anti-Inflammatory Protocols

Individualized use of botanical medicines, omega-3 fatty acids, low-dose naltrexone (LDN), vitamin D optimization, and dietary strategies to reduce inflammatory burden and modulate immune response.

5

Monitoring & Long-Term Immune Support

Autoimmune conditions require ongoing attention. I track inflammatory markers, antibody levels, and symptom patterns over time, adjusting your protocol as your immune system heals.
