Day 1: Autoimmune Masterclass- Gut Health and Functional Medicine

Welcome to Day 1 of our autoimmune masterclass series. If you’re tired of taking medication after medication but never truly getting to the root cause of your illness, then you’ve come to the right place. Often with autoimmune disease, as a patient it feels like they’re either throwing antibiotics or steroids at inflammation. In the end, we must understand how the body works, what causes inflammation (many environmental issues such as plastics, pesticides, forever chemicals and hormone disrupting agents) that lead to many autoimmune conditions such as those listed below.

In Day 1, we will discuss how gut health and leaky gut contribute to imbalances in the immune system. 70-90% of the serotonin (happy chemical in the brain) is produced by the enterochromaffin cells in the intestines and 70% of the immune system lies in the lining of the gut. Leaky gut, caused by toxins, infections, stress, antibiotics, NSAIDs, alcohol, and autoimmunity, can cause things to get into the blood stream that shouldn’t be there. Understanding this important barrier can help reduce symptoms of chronic pain and reduce exposure to harmful environmental toxins. The gut microbiome is a huge area of current and future research, and we can help you explore best practices as they relates to your individual health plan.

How much does it cost?

We try to keep pricing simple. We don’t take insurance, but we are transparent with pricing. We charge $99 for 30 minutes of our time. Any testing we do, you pay as you go. Often you can test for vitamin deficiencies, mineral toxicities and food and non-food sensitivities for around $300 total.

Is autoimmune disease genetic, or environmental?

With any disease, the interaction between genetic predisposition and environment (known as epigenetics) is complex. The typical saying is that “genes load the gun but the environment pulls the trigger”. We can’t change your genes, but we can help you interact with your environment in a healthier way with evidence-based interactions.

Who is your ideal patient?

If you’ve been to all the specialists and feel frustrated because you never get any answers, we are here to do a deep dive in the literature to help you understand what treatment approach is right for you.. While there may be common causes and protocols, we tailor your care to your symptoms.

How do you feel about traditional treatments, medications (antibiotics, vaccines, statins)?

We are very open-minded. We believe that traditional medicine is very good at treating acute illness but does a very poor job managing chronic illness and providing preventive care. We absolutely believe in modern medication but don’t believe medication ought to be the first line of treatment in many cases. Our bodies were designed to heal themselves and ought to be the first line of defense for disease. By optimizing your wellness state, we expect that you will require less traditional pharmaceutical medications. We work with your existing medical team and try to give individualized care to help you reach your goals, whatever they may be.
