What autoimmune conditions do you treat?
We work with a wide range of autoimmune conditions, including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease. We also support patients with mixed or undifferentiated autoimmune presentations where symptoms are present but a clear diagnosis has not been established.
Can functional medicine reverse autoimmune disease?
No, we do not claim to reverse autoimmune disease. Our goal is to help regulate immune function, reduce inflammation, and improve stability through personalized, systems-based care that addresses underlying contributors.
What testing do you use for autoimmune and inflammatory conditions?
We use a combination of conventional and specialty testing based on your case. This may include antibody panels, inflammatory markers, nutrient levels, gut health testing, and other markers that help assess immune regulation and systemic patterns.
Do you treat inflammation without a formal autoimmune diagnosis?
Yes, we frequently work with patients who have clear signs of chronic inflammation without a confirmed autoimmune diagnosis. Our focus is on identifying and addressing the underlying drivers of immune imbalance, regardless of whether a formal label exists.
How is your approach different from conventional rheumatology?
Conventional rheumatology often focuses on managing symptoms with medication. Our approach evaluates immune dysfunction in the context of gut health, environmental exposures, hormones, stress, and nutrition to address the underlying systems contributing to inflammation.
Do you recommend stopping medications like steroids or biologics?
No, we do not recommend stopping medications without medical supervision. Any changes are made in coordination with your prescribing physician while we focus on supporting immune balance and overall stability alongside your current care.
How long does it take to see improvement?
The timeline varies depending on the individual and the complexity of the condition. Some patients notice improvements within a few weeks, while others may require several months of consistent, structured care to achieve meaningful stability.
Can this approach be used alongside conventional treatment?
Yes, our approach is designed to complement conventional care. Many patients benefit from integrating functional medicine with their existing treatment plan to support broader immune regulation and long-term outcomes.
What symptoms may improve with this approach?
Patients often experience fewer flare-ups, improved energy, better digestion, clearer skin, reduced pain, and more stable mood and sleep as underlying immune and inflammatory patterns are addressed.
Is autoimmune care covered by insurance?
We do not bill insurance directly for physician services. However, some lab tests or prescriptions may be eligible for HSA or FSA reimbursement. Care is delivered through a structured, membership-based model with physician oversight.
