🧬 Autoimmune conditions are more common than many people realize, and you might not even know you have one!
Autoimmunity happens when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own tissues. It can affect many parts of the body and sometimes shows no obvious symptoms. While inflammation is a common sign, autoimmune issues can also be “silent” and go unnoticed for years. Autoimmune disease is more prevalent than cancer and heart disease combined, and many cases remain undiagnosed because traditional medicine often screens only after severe symptoms appear.
💡 Signs that autoimmunity may be present include:
• Persistent fatigue
• Chronic pain
• Brain fog or declining cognitive function
• Digestive problems
• Hair loss
• Unexpected weight changes
• And more
Functional medicine offers lab testing to detect autoimmunity affecting different tissues. Treatment strategies include anti-inflammatory nutrition, blood sugar support, gut healing, detoxification, and lifestyle adjustments that reduce stress and inflammation.
