The combination of herbal medicine, acupuncture, and lifestyle changes can make a significant difference in managing auto-immune diseases by treating the imbalance that caused the hyper activation of the immune system.
For at least 50 years, industrialized countries have experienced a dramatic increase in the incidence of autoimmune disorders. Up to fifty million people are estimated to be affected in the United States alone.
Although genetic predisposition accounts for approximately one-third of your risk of developing an autoimmune disease, the other two-thirds comes from your environmental exposures, your diet, and your lifestyle.
Autoimmune disease is directly linked to your food choices and how these foods affect your body. This means that we can manage and reverse autoimmune disease by making choices involving nutrition, activity sleep, and stress.
We address all aspects of autoimmunity, including gut health, predisposing triggers, ongoing immune stimulators, and nutrition evaluation. Our practice includes extensive guidance and support using the Autoimmune Paleo diet protocol which is gaining scientific support in mainstream medicine.
