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.
