Functional Medicine and Autoimmune Disease

Functional Medicine: Getting to the Root Cause

Identifying individual triggers is the goal of a Functional Medicine approach to autoimmunity. Multiple systems are involved in the dysregulation of the immune system. Each person has a unique multivariant process that is unique to their autoimmune condition. This is why 7 people with the same autoimmune diagnosis as in Graves’ disease can have 7 different reasons or processes that caused it. Functional Medicine addresses the individual unique underlying causes of autoimmune disease and can correct the underlying cause versus just treating and managing the symptoms.

Genes + Environmental Factors + Lifestyle =
Immune System Imbalance / Autoimmune Disease

At the Total Health Center, we offer a unique approach to treating autoimmune conditions through Functional Medicine. Our goal is to identify the root causes of your specific autoimmune condition. During your free consultation, you will discover how we have successfully helped numerous individuals understand and address the underlying causes of autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s, Graves’ Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis, Multiple Sclerosis, and others.

In your initial assessment, Dr. Scott will conduct a thorough examination to fully comprehend the unique functional conditions contributing to your autoimmune condition. This in-depth assessment is incredibly valuable. While many people have received a diagnosis and been given advice on managing their condition through conventional treatment, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of how your autoimmune condition developed and what can be done to improve your health.
