Autoimmune Disease Diagnosis and Treatment at Well Rooted  
Healing from Within with a Functional and Integrative Approach

At Well Rooted, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune diseases using a functional and integrative approach that targets the root causes of your symptoms. Our immune system plays a crucial role in defending the body against viruses, harmful bacteria, pathogens, and diseases. However, this complex system can become compromised or imbalanced due to several lifestyle factors, including food allergies, toxins, stress, or exposure to illness or viruses.

Autoimmune diseases can appear at any age and can affect any part of the body, or even multiple systems simultaneously. In autoimmune disease, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues and cells, rather than the harmful invaders it’s meant to target. This can lead to a variety of debilitating symptoms, including chronic fatigue, joint pain, digestive issues, and skin rashes. At Well Rooted, we are dedicated to understanding the underlying causes of autoimmune dysfunction and working to restore your immune system to a balanced state.

What Are Autoimmune Diseases?

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system becomes overactive and begins attacking the body’s own tissues. Common autoimmune diseases include:

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Lupus
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
  • Celiac Disease
  • Graves’ Disease
  • Psoriasis
  • Type 1 Diabetes
  • Crohn’s Disease
  • Ulcerative Colitis

These conditions may affect one organ or system or spread throughout the body. In some cases, the autoimmune response can affect multiple systems at the same time. The immune system is tasked with protecting us from harmful invaders, but sometimes, due to environmental factors such as toxins, food sensitivities, and viruses, it becomes imbalanced and attacks the body’s healthy tissues.

Our Functional Medicine Approach to Autoimmune Disease Treatment

At Well Rooted, we take a functional medicine approach to autoimmune disease, focusing on root cause diagnosis and individualized treatment plans. We look beyond symptom management to understand the factors contributing to immune system dysfunction and restore balance.

Our approach includes:

  • Thorough Diagnostic Testing: Our comprehensive blood panels, including autoimmune markers, help identify the specific autoimmune conditions affecting your body. These tests, combined with your health history, allow us to create a targeted treatment plan that addresses the underlying causes of your autoimmune response.
  • Personalized Treatment Plans: We tailor a treatment strategy that includes dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, natural therapies, and targeted supplements designed to regulate immune function and reduce inflammation.
  • Gut Health and Diet: We address the crucial role gut health plays in autoimmune conditions. Our functional nutritionists work with you to improve gut function, repair leaky gut, and balance microbiota, which can trigger autoimmune flare-ups.
  • Reducing Inflammation: We focus on reducing chronic inflammation through anti-inflammatory diets, herbal supplements, and stress reduction techniques.
  • Immune System Regulation: We work to bring your immune system back into balance through lifestyle adjustments, nutrient optimization, and the reduction of environmental toxins.
  • Ongoing Support and Monitoring: Autoimmune conditions often require long-term care. We offer ongoing monitoring and treatment adjustments to ensure long-term success and optimal health.

Specialized Testing for Autoimmune Disease

We use specialized lab tests to assess your immune system and monitor the progression of autoimmune conditions. Some of the tests include:

  • Autoimmune Panels: Identify specific antibodies that indicate the presence of autoimmune diseases.
  • Inflammation Markers: Assess levels of systemic inflammation that contribute to disease progression.
  • Gut Health Testing: Stool tests and food sensitivity testing help us understand gut imbalances contributing to autoimmune dysfunction.
  • Heavy Metals and Toxins: Exposure to environmental toxins can trigger autoimmune reactions. We offer tests to evaluate your body’s burden.
  • Nutrient Deficiency Testing: Autoimmune diseases often deplete key nutrients. We test for deficiencies in vitamins and minerals vital for immune health.

By far the best place people to have around to take your kiddos to! Not only are they great at what they do but my kids feel comfortable with each and every staff member. Jessica and Jackie are so caring and knowledgeable.

We love this office! Jessica was the first practitioner to tell me about sublingual therapy allergy drops for environmental allergies. I had 3 out of 4 of my kids suffer from extreme eczema. Daily itching, bleeding, open wounds. Other doctors and allergist just told me to keep putting lotion on because it was due to dry skin. Believe me when I say I lathered my kids multiple times a day and tried every natural product out there and it didn’t help! Steroid cream was the only thing that was able to calm it down but it would come right back once we stopped using it. Well, a year into the allergy drops and my kids have beautiful eczema free skin! No more tears, no more fear of swimming pools and fear of infections. All thanks to the wonderful providers at Well-Rooted Pediatrics!! They truly care and think outside the box to get to the root of the problem. I am forever grateful for them!

I drive an hour just to come to this office. Been coming since my daughter was 3, now she’s 5. It’s clean, professional, quick, friendly, reasonably priced and Jessica is a TOTAL PRO who is the main reason for our visits. Can’t recommend her and Well Rooted enough!

We are new patients at Well-Rooted. We were greeted by the friendly receptionist who answered all our questions. Even though it’s a temporary location, it was very well organized and clean. We saw Allison for our visit. She was knowledgeable, friendly and took the time to listen and answer any of our questions. She put our children at ease and made the appointment very easy. We are so grateful for this pediatric office and look forward to building a relationship with the staff!

Love them. I always come in with questions and they give me options to check things out further if I want to. Easy to listen with out being judged. Recommend. They don’t take insurance but you can submit the super bill to your insurance which is nice.
