Autoimmune Diseases

At Aletheia we address immune support with comprehensive and personalized protocols. We partner with our patients to find the root causes of immune system imbalances. Our functional medicine approach helps optimize the body's natural defenses and promote overall well-being.

We believe that patient wellness is not just about treating symptoms but about addressing the root causes of immune system imbalances. Our approach is based on functional medicine, which takes a holistic view of the patient's health and considers all aspects of their lifestyle, environment, and genetics.

We work closely with each patient to develop a personalized protocol that addresses their unique needs. Our comprehensive approach includes not just medical treatments but also lifestyle modifications, nutritional counseling, and stress management techniques.

We aim to optimize the body's natural defenses and promote overall well-being by addressing factors such as chronic inflammation, food sensitivities, gut health, and environmental toxins. By partnering with our patients on their journey to wellness, we empower them to take control of their health and achieve their full potential.

In functional medicine, testing for autoimmune diseases involves a comprehensive and individualized approach to understand the underlying factors contributing to immune system dysfunction. Rather than just focusing on symptom management, we aim to identify and address the root causes of autoimmune conditions! Our personalized protocol utilizes:

1. A Comprehensive Assessment

Beginning with a thorough patient history, examining lifestyle, stress levels, diet, sleep patterns, and environmental exposures. Also assessing for any underlying conditions or chronic stressors.

2. Nutrient Optimization

Ensure optimal levels of key nutrients essential for immune function, such as vitamins A, C, D, and zinc. Customized infusions designed to replenish depleted nutrients, boost immune support and reduce oxidative stress may be offered. Individualized supplementation may be recommended based on blood tests.

3. Gut Health Optimization:

Your gut plays a significant role in immune function. We’ll focus on gut health through probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary measures. Identifying and addressing any imbalances in the gut microbiome.

4. Stress Management:

Implementing stress reduction techniques, as chronic stress can suppress the immune system. This may include mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle modifications.

5. Optimizing Sleep Patterns:

Prioritizing adequate and quality sleep, as it plays a crucial role in immune function. We’ll address sleep hygiene, circadian rhythms, and any underlying sleep disorders.

6. Detoxification Support:

Evaluating exposure to environmental toxins and supporting the body's natural detoxification pathways. This may involve dietary changes, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle modifications.

7. Individualized Herbal and Supplement Support:

Incorporating immune-modulating herbs based on individual needs. Echinacea, astragalus, and medicinal mushrooms like reishi and shiitake are prime examples.

We’ll continuously assess the effectiveness of the protocol through regular follow-ups and appropriate testing, adjusting the approach based on your individual response and addressing any emerging imbalances or changing needs.
