Treat more than just the symptoms of auto-immunity

By addressing the underlying mechanisms that cause autoimmunity, we can help, and in some cases reverse autoimmune diseases

Auto-immunity is becoming increasingly common, affecting 1 in 20 Australians, 75% of whom are women. It can be a wrecking ball destroying health, quality of life, and wellbeing!

Symptoms depend on the tissue the auto-immunity is damaging. You may be feeling tired, with low mood, and you may have noticed you are losing your hair or it’s thinning out, your putting on weight, your muscles and joints feel achy and you feel cold.

Often patients go for many years without a diagnosis from their Doctor, and even with a diagnosis, little help is given to understand the root causes of the condition and what you can do about.

Whether you have a diagnosis or suspected auto-immunity, auto-immunity is a symptom of the immune system going awry. The key is to understand why this happening and Functional Medicine provides an excellent framework for this investigation..

Does this sound familiar?

You have received a diagnosis but you aren’t sure what you can do now to support yourself
You aren’t sure what to eat or what impact your diet is having on your health
You notice when you are stressed out, your symptoms get worse but you finding it difficult to relax
You are worried about the auto-immunity getting worse and want to look after the ‘future you’

Imagine if you could feel this way?

You wake up in the morning after a restful night’s sleep and don’t give your health much thought throughout the day. You make sure to eat a nutritious diet, but also indulge in occasional treats. Today, for example, you’re enjoying a gluten-free brownie and a cup of coffee while catching up with a friend you haven’t seen in a while. You prioritize exercise and self-care, but don’t feel the need to obsess over your health. Instead, you’re excited about what the future may hold for you.

Functional Medicine may be what you’re looking for

Unlike ‘conventional’ medicine, in Functional Medicine, we don’t just treat the disease itself, but instead the underlying imbalances in the body that are causing the disease. This can be a more effective approach for chronic health conditions such as auto-immunity than conventional medicine which may struggle in their treatment.
