If you only treat what you see, you miss what is actually driving the immune dysregulation underneath.đŠ
In functional medicine, I look for patterns like:
đ§Šinfections that keep returning
đ§Šinflammation that never fully resolves
đ§Šgut symptoms that flare every time you get sick
đ§Šviral reactivations during stress
đ§Šhormonal shifts that change how often you get sick
đ§Šblood sugar swings that worsen immune symptoms
đ§Šnutrient depletion after every illness
đ§Šcycles of feeling âfineâ then suddenly crashing
These patterns tell me far more than the symptoms do.
Because an immune flare is rarely about one moment of exposure.
It is almost always about the terrain:
đ your stress load
đ your sleep quality
đ your gut environment
đ your inflammatory baseline
đ your hormone balance
đ your nutrient reserves
đ your recovery capacity
When you change the pattern, the symptoms change on their own.
This is why I donât follow one-size-fits-all immune protocols.
Your immune system is unique. Your pattern is unique.
Comment âYESâ if your symptoms have ever felt like they follow a pattern you canât quite understand.
